Things are heating up for Scarlett Carver, secret agent and fashion heiress. Having rescued a kidnap victim and escaped an explosion by the skin of her teeth, Scarlett finds the clock is ticking if she is going to discover exactly who is behind the murders of seemingly innocent models - and what it is that they want!
Scarlett Couture is quickly becoming one of my favourite comics from Titan, as though there's still something to be proven, the series is certainly heating up. Des Taylor's unique storytelling style also allows for an inviting yarn, with Scarlett herself becoming more likeable by the second. Read Full Review
Overall another enjoyable issue, even if the pace has slowed somewhat, I am sure it's the calm before the storm. Read Full Review
The first issue didn't work because of its somewhat simplified story line, and while that is also kind of the case here, the writer does a much better job at making the characters approachable. As series creator Des Taylor says in his letter col at the end of the first issue, part of the appeal of the characters is that they are untouchable in a sense, in that they are elite supermodels. While this is true, there is only so much to surface, and while the first issue was mostly bereft in terms of establishing Scarlett and her colleagues as characters, this issue rectifies that somewhat. With a stronger focus on the characters, the action fits in better as well resulting in a better overall experience. This still has some way to go, but at least it is heading in the right direction.
