SCALPED #37


This is part two of a two-parter that deals with Shunka, the closeted gay right hand man of Red Crowe. Shunka heads to another state to deal with another Indian casino's mess. He ends up getting screwed and the wrong guy ends up being the new boss. The art, by Davide Furno, is not very good at all. It's sketchy and not truly defined. It looks like he needed more time to flesh it out. The story is also fairly dull. Do we really need to know that Shunka is a homosexual? Does that add anything to the basic story? Writer Jason Aaron has stretched this book out too thin. He should take a page out of the TV show Lost's playbook and get a game plan for an ending. Sure, the stories behind the assorted characters might be somewhat interesting, but we don't need stories about the whole reservation. The main story is just too good to let it sit on the sidelines. *1/2 (out of ****)
