Scarlet

In 2019, DC launched Scarlet, a creator-driven series written by Brian Michael Bendis and illustrated by Alex Maleev. The story follows a young woman named Scarlet who, after a personal tragedy, becomes a catalyst for a modern revolution, using her voice and actions to challenge systemic corruption. With Bendis and Maleev’s signature gritty, cinematic style, the series explores themes of justice, rebellion, and the power of individual resistance in a fractured society. Though it began with a single issue, Scarlet stands as a bold, politically charged statement from two of comics’ most acclaimed collaborators.
