It's also dramatically overwrought in ways that only comics are dramatically overwrought. The impression is that all the characters are yelling throughout the entire comic. Scalped is no different. But, it's a good comic. It's got some good writing. Dialog is crisp, varies in tone and sounds real. It doesn't talk down to the reader. It's also unforgiving and quite brutal in the portrayal of humanity. People are either violent predators, compulsive liars, vicious criminals/lawmen or passive sheep who allow themselves to be trampled. People can change between the two dueling natures, but they rarely lie in the middle. The question throughout the book is essentially about the permanence of making that change in nature and being absolved of sin. Or maybe I'm confusing this book with the book I finished yesterday. Gah. I'm getting old. Anyway, I enjoyed the comic. The mysterious Dashiell Bad Horse returns to the South Dakota reservation where he was born, after almost 2 decades away. He gets re-entangled with corrupt reservation politics, family drama, and an old girlfriend. But he has a secret that none of them could imagine, and he's on a mission to unearth everyone else's secrets too. As is often true with me and graphic novels, I was interested in the story that was being told but I did not at all care for how it was told. Everything was very choppy and I couldn't tell who was saying what and I did not care for the artwork at all. I picked this up from the library because a TV show is in development, so I'll probably just watch that instead of continuing the series. Bad Horse returns home to the reservation while working undercover for the FBI to bring down Red Crow. It takes a while to see that this is a revenge tale and exactly who is trying to get back at whom. I wanted to like this as so many other readers were excited about it but I had a difficult time getting into it. keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

Jason Aaron, the hot new writer of the critically acclaimed series THE OTHER SIDE, teams with gritty artist R.M. Guéra for an intense crime drama that mixes organized crime with current Native American culture. This special low-priced volume collects the first five issues of the riveting Vertigo series SCALPED. Fifteen years ago, Dashiell "Dash" Bad Horse ran away from a life of abject poverty and utter hopelessness on the Prairie Rose Indian Reservation searching for something better. Now he's come back home armed with nothing but a set of nunchucs, a hell-bent-for-leather attitude and one dark secret, to find nothing much has changed on "The Rez" -- short of a glimmering new casino, and a once-proud people overcome by drugs and organized crime. Is he here to set things right or just get a piece of the action? Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
