High-octane action meets high-fashion drama in the third installment of Scarlett Couture's Project Stardust. Scarlett swaps her skintight stealth suit for a skintight gown as she and Trent infiltrate an exclusive party on the hunt for the missing link in their investigation. Luckily, the team from Chase Couture are always available to provide the very best of distractions!
This issue, we're missing her dossiers that were in the first two issues, possibly because Des Taylor has revealed all there is for the reader to know before the epic conclusion. What surprised me most about Des Taylors writing is his attention to details. Taylor makes of habit of making things factually accurate, which is different for some comic book writers. It only makes sense as readers, because in this age of Google we have easier access to information than generations past. Overall, a great read. Read Full Review
Scarlett Couture #3 leads us nicely into the series finale, being exciting, fun and energetic. It also has some wonderful espionage elements, with the fashion cover allowing for a sexy finish that enhances this. All this is topped off by some engaging dialogue that will leave readers glued to each page. Read Full Review
I really like this book. I like the fun element, I like the pop culture feel to it and I like how it looks and how it reads. It frustrates me no end, that my local comic book store doesn't carry this book and as such s missing a potential larger readership. If Des Taylor's work continues to find anaudienceon Face Book, it follows that Scarlett Couture should also find a larger fan base Read Full Review
Des Taylor may very well be making the point that comics can be light and fun, with a sassy heroine with a nice line in witty dialogue. This is fine, we can all get behind that, but when we start to feel familiarity, the 'we've seen it all before' red flag, we, as readers, can soon lose interest. I hope not, as there is still plenty of fun to be had here. If all you want from your comics fix is to be entertained, you won't go far wrong with Scarlett Couture. Read Full Review
This series has thus far been one of moderate successes and even more missed opportunities. Although it is inherently trying to break down the spy genre cliches by making a Bond Girl into the action hero, just as often it seems to play into the same cliches for its major plot points. Such was the case again in this issue after relying on the same mostly in issue #1 and breaking free from it a bit in issue #2. Here the scenarios are almost mockups of what one can find in most James Bond films, and while Scarlett works as a character in most cases, she is also let down by the lack of originality in the script aside from her own inspiration. This ends up being a relatively average spy story, and although fun at times, it has all been seen before. Read Full Review
To sum it all up, it could be better, but it's still a good book that's worth checking out. So, if you're a fan of Bond and espionage in general, this one's for you! Read Full Review
