crime book you're not reading... The riveting tale of one mean cop with a big damn secret... (R.M. Guera's) visceral artwork will drive to your house, throw you into the back of a pickup, and haul your ass straight onto the
reservation." "Aaron's narrative is dirtier than an Iron
Eyes Cody vista, and promisingly matched with Guera's prairie-dusty art." "As perfect a comic book as I’ve ever
read... It’s such a pleasure to read, all bad and dirty and nasty and
sexy with dialogue like razors… and the art (ah, the art!)..." "If you're into HBO or Tarantino or
Scorsese or Eastwood or Peckinpah, you'll love SCALPED. It'll kick your
ass hard and leave you coming back for more... We need more comics like SCALPED. Buy it. Tell your friends. This is the good shit, and
it deserves your support." "Aaron's plotting is riveting...
Desperation, cynicism, greed, and a suffocating atmosphere cling to Guéra's
characters, from hollowed eyes and beaten expressions to the piercings, tattoos,
and bad teeth that adorn the rez's inhabitants. A powerful new series that all
adult collections will want to have." "SCALPED is the best Vertigo comic being published right
now. If you're not reading SCALPED, you're crazy. You are literally, not
metaphorically, a lunatic, and you will probably end up in some sort of asylum
if you're not careful. It's that good. It will keep you sane with its
greatness." "The best new book of 2007... a
wholly original crime drama starring one of Vertigo's more intriguing
anti-heroes, Dashiell Bad Horse." "What a great series. Despite it's vulgarity and
violence it's easily one of the most emotionally gripping reads out there... If
you like great character studies and can handle some brutality, this is a book
you should be reading." "SCALPED
blends straight-up noir with an epic tale of ’70s Native American
radicals-turned-criminals, nasty backstabbing and the lure of casino cash.
Killer in every way. "Seedy,
violent, overtly sexual, this dark brutal Crime Noir is an uncompromising
thriller that hits hard, hits often and hit home." "SCALPED has attitude, SCALPED has guts and SCALPED is no
holds barred. In short, SCALPED is fucking great." "...there’s emotion pouring off each
page, there’s tension in each panel, there’s action and reaction, and this
is what you hope for when you throw your good money down each week." "The coolest new thing coming out of Vertigo right now." "One of the best offerings from Vertigo in recent
memory... Highly recommended." "Among the finest fiction in mainstream
comics today." "With Vertigo's acclaimed series 100
BULLETS winding to a
close, SCALPED is standing ready to become
its next great graphic crime series." "Can an adult
still read a contemporary comic book and feel like an adult afterward? In
the case of SCALPED, the answer is a resounding, bloodcurdling yes. No
cultural stereotypes and no pulled punches — just an unflinching look at what
one character calls 'a third world nation in the heart of America.'" "A must read.
Phenomenal." "This
is down and dirty, hard-nosed crime fiction,... And this may be comics’ best
book currently in the genre."
