"I live in a world where there is great protest. In Portland, even though we started this book eight years ago, it was because there was so much protest here. The idea that a revolution would start here did not seem crazy. It wouldn't shock us. Years have gone by and the protests have gotten more intense and the city politics around those protests have gotten intense in a way that I couldn't even perceive. It fueled the idea, the over-the-top idea, that a protest could go so far to shut a city down and paralyze the government that is supposed to be dealing with it. It was one of those ideas that sounded crazy when I started, and more and more, it just sounds like anything in the world doesn’t sound that crazy [anymore]. I started with, 'what would be the most insane idea I could think of that I could go to thinking I would be years ahead of the curve?’ Yet I still feel it’s not that ahead of the curve." -- Brian Michael Bendis

For those who aren't familiar with it, Bendis and Maleev's run on Daredevil is one of the best runs on a superhero comic in the last decade, and it probably deserves a spot on a few all-time lists. I'll be the first one to tell you that Bendis's superhero output at Marvel doesn't play to his strengths, but crime books really do.
Scarlet is an original crime book by the two of them, published through Marvel's Icon label, about a woman who sets out to start a second American Revolution.
( Four pages from Scarlet #1, out of 27 pages of story )
