review 1: I'm always a little conflicted about this title because I'm not sure what the point of it is -- the unrelenting darkness seems more like an aesthetic pose than a worldview (using noir for noir's sake rather than to actually say anything, which is an issue I have with a lot of neo-noir in general), and the Native American setting, being created and almost exclusively praised by (as far as I know) gives me pause/borders on exploitation at times. BUT it's unquestionably a well-crafted crime story, and a brilliantly constructed comic book, and when the story's moving forward, I'm caught up in it enough that I can put my doubts aside. And there's definitely some beautiful character work going on here, particularly with Red Crow.

... moreast review, or maybe they just got their sh!t together, this 6th volume of this Scalped series is illustrated entirely by R.M Guera, and it is so so good! There are very few comics titles that are this good, or this original. And when I saw this new book I got excited, and there are not many writers that have impressed me so much that I feel that way, but this story is so good and the quality if the writing has not faltered once. Some of the guest artists I could do without, but most of the art throughout this series has been done by R.M. Guera, and his art is absolutely brilliant! The writing is absolutely brilliant! less
