From Vertigo Comics
The fallout of the last issue commences eight months later, and the Lakota reservation is finally as peaceful as it can get. A lot of characters seem to be getting their lives in order and money is actually going to good causes. Unfortunately sometimes the past can’t stay buried. Nothing ever goes out peacefully on the rez. Scalped, alongside Spaceman, is easily my favorite Vertigo series going and it simply adds another element to Jason Aaron’s versatile repertoire. Guera pencils like he was born to draw these bleak tales. The features are defined and well researched. The grime of reservation life is bleak with plenty of humanity. While a few artists have contributed here and there, Guera’s work simply owns the tone masterfully. It’s a shame this book is winding down, but all compelling stories must end. Aaron is keeping busy with various Marvel projects. In the meantime I will be chomping at the bit to see what Guera brings us after the end of this series.
