The Chicago Tribune carries a sizable profile of Scalped and The Other Side writer Jason Aaron, who talks about breaking into comics and reaction to his crime series, which has been described as “The Sopranos on a reservation.”
“I think it just flows down to creating well-rounded characters, no matter what race or country they hail from,” Aaron says. “If you just create a character with depth and background, you can get into the character … as long as you understand the setting and cultural heritage.”
The article also quotes writer Peter David and Vertigo’s Karen Berger, who has high praise for Aaron and The Other Side: “Taking a chance on a new writer who’s as skillful and compelling as Jason is what the heart of publishing is all about.”
