Scryptic Studios concludes its two-part interview with writer Jason Aaron (The Other Side, Scalped). In today’s installment he talks a little about Scalped, his new Vertigo crime series with R.M. Guera:

With Scalped, I had the concept from the get-go, but it took us awhile to iron out all the details. I jumped around to different points in the story, trying to decide where to begin, and I combined a couple of characters to get our main guy. At this point, I have seven issues written and the series plotted to around issue #30, when the shit really hits the fan. In those first thirty issues, we’ll meet tribal cops, meth addicts, greedy officials from the BIA, practitioners of Jeet Kune Do, the Dawg Soldierz, the Burn Victims, an FBI agent named after Warren Oates’ father, a two time Soldier of Fortune Combat Knife Champion, a brutal Hmong street gang, a Heyoka who talks to his horse and the sheriff who presides over the largest drunk tank in the United States.

I can usually write an issue in two weeks, but I like to take longer with it when I can, because my best scripts seem to be the ones I get to think, re-think and re-think again.
