Scarlett from the Energon Universe version of G.I. Joe comics
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT WARNING! Spoilers ahead for Scarlett #1Skybound has experienced massive success with its G.I. Joe relaunch thus far, as titles like Duke and Cobra Commander have introduced the Real American Heroes into the Energon Universe.
Thompson said in an interview that one of the main influences for the Scarlett miniseries is the James Bond films . This can be clearly seen in the opening pages of the issue, which pay homage to the opening scene from Goldfinger . As Scarlett silently emerges from underwater, she removes her wetsuit to reveal an evening dress underneath. She then manages to seamlessly blend into the fancy surroundings of the Monaco gathering in order to complete her mission.
Also intriguing is the mystery set up regarding the Arashikage clan. Longtime G.I. Joe fans will recognize the famed ninja clan as the place where Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow learned their skills. Scarlett infiltrating the group by wanting to join their ranks should be an intriguing story to follow, and she proves her ability by taking out a handful of ninja in the climactic scene.
The lack of stakes also extends to the characters. This is most obvious in the relationship between Jinx and Scarlett. The brief flashbacks paint a warm, lived-in relationship between the two, but the issue doesn’t really let readers know why they should care about that relationship in the first place.
