The ninety-seventh comic: #931 Scalped

Scalped is the story of Dash, a cop returning to his native American tribe to enforce the law there and, increasingly, the other people surrounding him. Through that lens, we get a bleak picture of life on a reservation, filled with alcoholics and drug addicts, where life is cheap when you're not at the top. It's a difficult read, the constant push downwards making for some harrowing tales that doesn't seem like they have a way out. It's well made and, depending on the point of view character, often compelling, but it feels like something to read in small doses, so it can takes its time to find a place and you can take your time to process.
