Wolverine Weapon X #1–5 and Wolverine #73–74 by Jason Aaron, Ron Garney and Adam Kubert Because I've been enjoying Aaron's take on Wolverine in various mini-series and stories, I was keen to try his new series, especially because it would be about new villains and not be mired in continuity.…
Scalped #30–34 by Jason Aaron and RM Guera It's that time of the year for me to attempt to describe my appreciation for the brilliance that is Scalped. Because I'm slow on the uptake, I arrived late to this superb noir drama, so I'm reading it in trade paperback form;…

Scalped #1–5 by Jason Aaron & RM Guera I may be revealing the workings behind the curtains of Clandestine Citadel here, but I don't always write about the comic books immediately after I've read them. Shock, horror, I know, but I've never been about being up to date. This is…
