Plot
The story revolves a "creepy girl" named Scarlett, who lives in a graveyard just beyond a small town. Scarlett lives there alone with her only companion Mr. Ted, who she talks to frequently. In the first issue it is reviled that the towns people have wronged her, along with a shady organization called "The Order of the Red Sun". Scarlett battles a variety of nemeses and later reveals she will have revenge, on everyone involved in her mysterious tragedy. However the seemingly immortal girl becomes nothing more than a fairytale to those without any direct history with her.
"In volume #1 Scarlett faces serial killer Pumpkinface and the return of her nemesis Vincent Priest, head of the Red Sun Corporation. We then head back to 1968 as Scarlett unwittingly unleashes a horde of zombies into town and must put aside her hatred to rescue the townsfolk."
