“Family Tradition”

Vertigo's gritty reservation noir reaches issue #38 with a cover by Jock that says everything through stark, minimalist imagery — a blood-streaked war bonnet bearing the words "Rez Dog" set against stark white, its feathers dripping with an unsettling crimson. The image carries real weight, suggesting themes of heritage, violence, and identity that run through Jason Aaron and R. M. Guéra's acclaimed series. "Family Tradition" sounds like exactly the kind of hard-edged, emotionally resonant chapter that makes Scalped one of Vertigo's most compelling ongoing titles of 2010.
