Scalped

Details Genres: Comic Books/Graphic Novels, Fiction; Publisher: Vertigo

In Jason Aaron and R.M. Guera's Scalped, disaffected Native American hard case Dashiell Bad Horse returns to ''the rez'' after 15 years, as a deputized enforcer for the tribal chief/casino boss. But he secretly works for the FBI.

For Fans of...
The Departed and Val Kilmer's feds-and-Indians drama Thunderheart.

Does It Deliver?
Aaron's narrative is dirtier than an Iron Eyes Cody vista, and promisingly matched with Guera's prairie-dusty art. Still, both need sharper definition. B
