I'm a Sucker for Redheads
Comic Book Review of 'Scarlet # 1 '
Redheads are crazy, redheads are fun, redheads should wear their hair short, listen to Bad Religion and have a chain connected to their wallet, sitting in the pocket of their heavily warn, stain wash jeans. OK OK, ending my daydream.
Scarlet is interesting to me for a few reasons. In the first 10 pages you really want to love this chick. Then about 3/4 of the way through it you want to hate her. I mean really! Why the f..k do you like this idiot blond dip-shit with the headphones around his neck. In the end, it brings you back to the beginning (yep) and you can see she has something inside her that you crave to like.
Lets talk art... Much of this is personal but to me this art matches the dirtiness of the story and Scarlet herself. Because of the way it is drawn and the color some will hate it. Sorry to you folks. To me it's like you can smell the blood, sweat and pheromones (I don't think pheromones actually smell).

Batman Virgin Begins
Comic Book Review of 'Batman: The Return Of Bruce Wayne # 1 '

So as the title says, I have never read a single lick of Batman. 'Batman: The Return of Bruce Wayne #1' is my first issue. Ok, I can hear your boos and hisses but I just have to say, I am not a superhero comic book guy. I spend most of my comic book reading time concentrating on horror and other non-superhero stuff.
Enough said about me. I was pleasantly surprised by this book because of its gritty nature. Dirt, blood and action were pretty much the high points for me. The only really short coming in this book is that it starts a bit slow and packs the meat in at the end. Otherwise it was very good. I was comfortable knowing that I didn't have any idea about the back story (e.g. Final Crisis) and guess what... to me it didn't matter. Grant writes a story not just a superhero comic.
