Going to have to give this one a 5 because the story arc and pace of this was fantastic. It was as if I was watching it live on screen. I'm not even going to waste time writing a review ... let's get to book 4!

I had friends who swore by this series, as well as my local comic shop guy, and Youtubers that I watch who like to talk about comics, so I was quite excited to get into this series. In fact, some of the first reviews that I read on this site before I myself starting using it were of this series. Then I found a certain review of this series that so shocked me by its forceful use of its voice and language that, for one, I had to go out and find this guy and befriend him, as I was quite impressed w...

This just keeps on getting better and better. The ending and build up to it was amazing. Great work from Aaron and team here. This is graphic novel storytelling at its best.

Okay things are getting really good towards the end I couldn’t put this down the way every character feels constantly moving forward in the story towards their own goals but yet have them tie in with other peoples stories is great and doesn’t feel like to much I’m finding it impressive how Aaron can juggle all this

Started to read this one during football commercials and next thing I know I am halfway through the book and totally forgot about the game I was watching.It is that good !

It's like a very dark race to the bottom. Curious to see who's left when they get there. Not sure there is any heroes in this story.

"Been down so goddamn long that it looks like up to me." Jeez, this thing just keeps getting better and better. By the climax of this installment, the tension is so high you can almost smell it coming off the page. Bad Horse is getting in WAAAYYY too deep and Red Crow is getting closer and closer to losing everything. And I want to see them both find some sort of peace. If you're a crime fiction fan and not reading Scalped, it's not too late to make a change and get your life together

Bad things continue to occur.

Wow! That was a satisfyingly epic conclusion to the storyline. Scalped is one of those rare series that maintains high quality throughout. The characters are flawed yet believable. The setting is realstically detailed, and one that most readers probably won't be familiar with.I'm sure it will be released in some great huge complete tome at some point. It's worth reading straight through if you can manage it. I read another book or two between volumes one and two, and it took a bit for the story

Awesome! Can't wait for the next two books to arrive at my doorstep. Definitely check this out if you are into action/crime/thriller comic series.

Scalped is a visceral tour de force into the badlands, both physically and metaphorically.The gritty, punched up artwork accentuates the dialogue and the multi-threaded plot careens towards perdition.There is no clear divide between the proverbial "good guys" and "bad guys". Rather each character grapples with their own inner demons in hopes of taking a right turn towards redemption.Scalped is sublime in its execution, it doesn't shy away from dealing with harrowing issues and never seeks to deh...

(Zero spoiler review) 3.75/5I started reading Scalped about a year ago. I picked up Volume's one and two and inhaled them, falling for Aaron's gritty, urban slang and the depraved, chaotic yet ultimately realistic world he was creating. This was some of the darkest, most hard hitting noir I'd been lucky enough to read. Add in some amazing artwork from R.M Guerra and you had yourself a recipe for one of the finest comics available today. As the paperback run was discontinued, I went about the fru...

Not losing steam at all. Love this series.

Addiction galore, can't put it down. The more you know, the more the unknown surfaces. Jason Aaron's a master at dropping threads and returning to them issues later when you've forgot about them. Unbelievably good!

Just a brutal pressure-cooker. Both writing and art dialed up to 12 and then overdriven some more!

When I closed this book I said out loud “That was sooo good!” Consistently good storytelling, great art and a plot that keeps you on the edge. If you aren’t already then get on the Rez!

I rated Volume 1 very low. I believe it was a one star rating. I live on a reserve and as a native person I just found the book over the top and filled with stereotypes and tropes. But, as with many literary experiences I found a fresh insight on my reading of Volume 2. The violence and social decay depicted in the story actually is a reflection of what goes on on many reserves including mine. What I needed to do was swap out the Casino for some other shady entrepreneurial endeavour that exists

Dark as pitch, which fits a noir book, but Dash Badhorse seems to be finally pulling himself together as this volume draws to a close. It has him going even a touch darker than we've seen so far, but at the same time...Great crime work here. Wonderful comics.

3.5 starsThe story is really starting to heat up in this volume, you can feel how events and characters are quickly heading into a direction that will end in some major conflict. The noir feel has definitely become very evident these last two volumes. This is clearly defined as the point where the "hero" picks himself up, steeling himself to do what is right, despite the personal cost.I didn't feel the art was as strong on this one. A couple other artists filled in on some issues, primarily for

Last time we left Dashiell Bad Horse, he was in a bad way as he numbs himself with cocaine and Carol. However, a near death experience, coupled with the risk of being outed as an FBI agent, snapped him back into focus. We also get a glimpsed on what happened on the night when Nitz's partners were killed in the reservation, through Red Crow's own investigation on Gina Bad Horse's death. At the same time, Red Crow deals with the Hmong's pinch on his casino. On the other side of the rez, Carol find...
