The Fellowship was fortunate enough to obtain a copy of CREEPY SCARLETT BOOK ONE from Last Sunset Comics. Graeme Buchan writes, Felipe
Sanhueza draws and Jessica Jimerson colors.
Scarlett lives in an abandoned church. One day an old
warrior appears, and his task is to train the young woman to protect a powerful
artifact from those who would abuse it. The warrior does so, but is doubtful of
Scarlett’s ability to do the work needed. But there is much he does not know
about the girl, and she is capable of much more than he can imagine.
She is definitely not your everyday guardian of evil
artifacts. What she has, though, is a huge backstory, mostly told through
flashbacks, that makes what may seem like a simple character a very deep one
indeed. Combine that with a list of fun bad guys, great art (especially the
swordplay), and Mr. Ted, and you’ve got a well-told story with lots of room to
grow.
This is a comic that’s equal parts funny and dramatic,
fantastic and gritty. The childlike Scarlett has her own dichotomy too, but no
spoilers – go pick it up and read it for yourself.
CREEPY SCARLETT BOOK ONE (containing the first three issues) is available now at DriveThruComics,
and issue 4 is coming soon!
