Editorial Review: Product Description: Jason Aaron, the up-and-coming writer of the critically acclaimed series THE OTHER SIDE teams with gritty artist R.M. Guéra for an intense crime drama that mixes organized crime with current Native American culture. Fifteen years ago, Dashiell "Dash" Bad Horse ran away from a life of abject poverty and utter hopelessness on the Prairie Rose Indian Reservation in hopes of finding something better. Now he's come back home armed with nothing but a set of nunchucks, a hell-bent-for-leather attitude and one dark secret, to find nothing much has changed on "The Rez" -- short of a glimmering new casino, and a once-proud people overcome by drugs and organized crime. Is he here to set things right or just get a piece of the action? Average Rating:
 Rating: - Vertigo's best new title in recent memoryJason Aaron is quickly becoming one of my favorite new writers and Scalped is why. Scalped tells the story of angry, violent Dashiell Bad Horse, who returns to the Reservation of his childhood as an undercover federal agent. Dashiell is hard to love, but you just know that Aaron is leading up to something big for the character, so you can forgive him for all the repressed rage and self-destructive behavior. Scalped is dark, violent, filled with sex, booze, and hard drugs... but none of that covers ... Read More Rating: - One of the BestScalped is by far one of the best stories in comics today. Jason Arron brings a realism that just can't be seen in many other comic currently being written. Scalped however is not for the faint of hart or younger readers. It is very much so a book for mature reader but if that doesn't bother you then this is a book you should check out. Rating:  - It makes you feel like you're there.I purchased Scalped Vol. 1: Indian Country when I saw the iFanboy guys talking about it. It sounded different, and interesting, and most of all it wasn't a traditional capes and cowls comic. This trade features the first 5 issues of the monthly comic. It took me until chapter 2 or 3 to really get into it and understand what was going on, once you do, it's a hell of a ride. The combination of writing, script, and art makes you feel like you're there on "The Rez" with everyone else, like you're right ... Read More Rating: - "Welcome to the world of the disenchanted..."I've just finished a fresh re-read of the five issues collected in this trade specifically for prep in writing this review. Jason Aaron, previous to giving us Scalped, penned a mini-series called The Other Side, also published through Vertigo. Prior to that, Aaron was basically unheard of. The fact that he's hit a bullseye with his very first monthly series is incredible but I assure you, dear pondering reader, that it is a fact. Indian Country introduces us to Dashiell Bad Horse, a native to The Prairie ... Read More Rating: - Engrossing readEasily one of the best new books out there. Jason Aaron weaves an amazing story that draws the reader instantly and rewards them with every page. The story is split between past and present and builds a rich pantheon of deap characters. I'll be honest the story didn't appeal to me while reading reviews of it but once I started reading I was hooked. R.M. Guera's artwork is masterful, he captures the somber mood of the reservation in every page. I find it easy to get detached from the story when ... Read More
