"The Gnawing" Part One
By Jason Aaron and R. M. Guera
It was hardly surprising when we reached the first chapter of the arc which served as the finale to Jason Aaron's initial pitch for Scalped that we would be treated to some of the best moments in the series so far. But, the moment to take the prize was Red Crow's decision to turn on his financial backers and dish out some Rez-style justice on the always creepy Mr. Brass.
Scalped is a series that feeds of it's own sense of dread, violence and drama; the whole thing is the comic book equivalent of The Sopranos, offering up intense sequences of suspense and emotion, alongside great action scenes and character revelations.
This series is truly a masterpiece of modern storytelling, and the moment Red Crow finally takes a stand and asserts himself as this generation's Tony Soprano is an exceptionally masterful moment.
