Scalped #32

Written by Jason Aaron
Art by RM Guera

Things continue to heat up in Scalped, as it becomes clear that Dash has no real plan for what's going on. He's simply doing his best to react to events as they happen, having to work all possible angles so he can get his dealer to keep his heroin addiction a secret, and keep that dealer alive. It doesn't work out, but not quite in the way you'd expect.

Red Crow is just in reaction mode too - he knows that the Hmong are coming for him, and wants to get his daughter off the reserve, but as usual, she wants nothing to do with him.

This arc seems to be about chickens coming home to roost for many of the characters, and each issue lately has been ramping up the suspense. I'm not sure how long this series is meant to run, but it feels like we're moving towards some form of resolution.

This book is at least twice as good as any of the work Aaron is doing for Marvel right now.
