- Title: Scarlett #3
- Comic Vine: link
- Writer: Kelly Thompson
- Artist: Marco Ferrari
The suicidal heist teased in the last issue is delivered here as Scarlett infiltrates the impregnable facility and completes the assignment likely securing herself a spot within Arashikage. We get cameos from Storm Shadow and Jinx here fighting on another level of the facility and discussing the likelihood of Scarlett’s success, but this issue really does center around our title character kicking ass for several pages as she works her way down the facility, first through shark-infested waters, and later through a slew of security and mercenaries.
It’s worth noting that the end of the issue also gives us Cobra’s involvement for the first time, and the first connection we’ve seen between them and the ninja. Scarlett’s success should allow her time with Jinx to get the full story on what is going on, but how will Cobra’s involvement change things and, at some point, will we be seeing the most famous disciple of Arashikage in some form?
