I’m a big fan of Scalped; it’s a series that keeps me engaged, even when the content of story is minimal. It’s so good that it’s inspired me to pick up every book Jason Aaron writes ever since. He is my favourite writer. And this issue is a perfect illustration of why. It focuses on a small-town Sherriff as we see a day through his eyes; it’s bleak, powerful and made me really wish I bought this series regularly in issues. It’s a one-shot, so anyone can dive right in, even without a working knowledge of the world. The art was decent, too, though slightly funky at times; but the style choice was there to tell an minimal story about an overblown individual. It all works so well.
