I've been reading the Vertigo title Scalped by Jason Aaron, which has been billed as The Sopranos with Native Americans. I was interested in the fact that the title was about Native Americans, but I decided to buy it once I realized Aaron penned it, because I've also been reading his Vietnam comic The Other Side and have been impressed by it.

The story is extremely violent but also poetic in its depiction of the desolation and desperation that motivates its characters. I've been intrigued by the story's hints at a connection to the events that took place at Wounded Knee in the 70s, but I'm not sure if this will be elaborated on in future issues or if it's simply a reference. The artist has done a particularly fine job with settings, such as the view over a barren highway at night, a lit-up casino in the middle of nowheresville, a meth lab in the back of a taxidermy shop.

In issue #2, my eye was drawn to panel that showed several of the songs available on a jukebox in a pool joint. Just the names of the songs alone told a story. These are the ones I could make out:

• "I Walk Alone" by Los Lobos


• "Custer" by Johnny Cash


• "Nebraska" by Bruce Springsteen


• "Rip this Joint" by the Rolling Stones


• "Tumbling Tumbleweeds" by the Sons of the Pioneers


• "Sunday Morning Coming Down" by Kris Kristofferson

There's also songs by Steve Earle and Neil Young, but I can't tell which ones. Two song titles--"Sign Language" and "Born Under A Bad Sign"--are also visible but with no artist attached, so I don't know which version is intended. I want the full playlist! What else is on this jukebox?
