Regardless of the setting and characters, this series is absolutely some of the best crime noir I've read. It's dark. It's bleak. It's hopeless.
And it's mesmerizing.
And it's mesmerizing.
I will say just four things about this final volume...
1 - It did not end the way I expected it to.
2 - It did not end the way I wanted it to.
3 - It ended perfectly.
4 - Scalped is very likely the best graphic novel series I have ever read.

4 - Scalped is very likely the best graphic novel series I have ever read.
So, I'm just going to paste the following review to Volumes 5 through 8.
If there's anything good about this enforced COVID social abandonment experiment we're all in the middle of as I type this (almost into week five), it's the ability to binge read a series of graphic novels like one would normally binge a Netflix series.
And this feels like a Netflix series. This is the darkest parts of Breaking Bad or Better Call Saul, but set on a dying Native American reservation, where everyone is stretched to their limit, doing the most horrible things to just get through the day. There's a corrosive bleakness and despair that runs through every page, and even when Aaron and company let a little light in, it's only so he can slam the door shut and cast the reader into an even more depressing darkness.
These are probably the most real characters I've ever read in a graphic novel series. I'm invested in every one of them, and I'm desperate for someone to find some hope to cling to before this all wraps up, but I really doubt that's going to happen.
This is one of the best pieces of fiction—in any medium—I've ever experienced.… (mehr)
