review 1: Scalped as a series has been powerful, but this book blows the rest away. From the quiet one-shot about a long-married couple to the two-issue arc exploring the 'rabid dog' Schunka and gender identities in the Native American populace, to the story of Dashiel's father in Vietnam, these shorter stories deepen the relationship to the characters and are fascinating. But then the last issue features a six-page scene between Carol and Dashiel on a snowy road at night that is gut-wrenching - showing what they're saying as well as what they want to say but don't, it is a magnificent use of the Comics medium - something that couldn't be done nearly as well in any other form. This tones down much of the violence and sex and focuses just on the characters, and manages to create gre... moreat depth in all of them. This book justifies the series by itself - I can't wait to see where the trailing three collections take it.
review 2: The best comic book I read in a long long time.The stand alone "Listen to the Earth Turn" was one reason.Add "The unwanted" to it and the dichotomy of lovers who want nothing more than to live with each other even if it means slowly rotting away and dying vs practical, self obsessed lovers of today hits you like a ton of bricks.The third party narrative of Shunka's story is the icing on the cake. Jason Aaron - You have made yourself a fan for life. less
