They were developing a " Scalped " series for television that sadly never came to fruition . It`s one of my all time favorite runs & I would rebuy it in a second in an oversized hardback edition. One of my favorites not mentioned was Men Of Wrath with some excellent art by Ron Garney.
Southern Bastards was my most favorite ongoing until it was not going anymore. Still wait for the constantly postponed volume 2 hardcover! Love everything Aaron writes and have probably most of his creations. Thor is an obvious choice with the grand arc and beautiful execution. I hope Southern gets the deserved final! We trust Aaron to come back and shake us to our core!
@@Elricsedric Mine are as follows: 1) Criminal 2) Sleeper 3) Captain America 4) Catwoman 5) Books of Doom. I know he’s done other work but for me Criminal is a masterpiece in terms of doing crime noir well.
Hey Mike! I'm a bit late to this video(had to have more dental work done- & have had a migraine for 2 days now.😖 Sucks, but at least I'm not seeing floaters anymore & my eyes aren't as sensitive... so I can rummage a bit around TH-cam, & came here 1st!). Aaron's Ghost Rider & Punisher runs are fantastic!!! His Ghost Rider run picked up after Daniel Way's amazing run- which basically followed Garth Ennis' "Ghost Rider: Road to Damnation" mini, which was also incredible! The Rob Williams run that followed Aaron's was solid, too- but not as good as the previously mentioned runs. Still, I luv Ghost Rider, & wish Marvel would do more w/the character. I haven't yet checked out the Robbie Reyes version of Ghost Rider, so I need to do that. Also there's been a couple of short runs &/or minis since that(1 is a team-up w/Blade, Damian Helstrom, & Satana- I think.🤔 Could be wrong, but regardless, there are some more GR comics to checkout). Still... from what I've read of the reviews of these latest comics, they're "ok" to "good," but nothing exceptional- like the Ennis mini, the Way run, & the Aaron run. But I don't like to make decisions about what I wanna read based on other people's reviews. I take then into consideration, & appreciate them, but if I really wanna give something a try, I'm gonna do it. On the other hand, if someone(like u or Matt) gives a positive review of something, then I may give it a try regardless of if I hadn't really had that book/run on my radar. And some titles that I've thought weren't for me turned out to be winners after giving them a chance based on reviews &/or overviews from guys like u 2! But my main point was: Come on, Marvel, give me a killer Ghost Rider MAX series by someone like Ennis or Aaron! I would eat it up!😋 Now, onto the Punisher! Aaron's run beautifully capped off Ennis' definitive run(I know Ennis has revisited Frank Castle w/a couple of minis since then, but Aaron's run was the curtain call for the character... & what a curtain call it was!)!!! And it's tragic that Steve Dillon passed away(R.I.P.). While his passing is tragic for much more important reasons, I'm sure, than his comics art... his art played a part in a life changing event for me, as "Preacher" was the first non-superhero comic I ever read. In fact, I didn't even realize non-superhero comics existed at all before accidentally finding his & Ennis' masterpiece on the shelf at the Borders bookstore that used to be not far from where I lived. I'm sure his family & friends will miss him most; but while I didn't know him, I will miss him for the special artist he was! Finally(I know this has been long, lol), I just wanted to say that both "Scalped" & "Southern Bastards" have been temptations for me in the past, but I've never pulled the trigger on either. I wanted to ask u: Is there a western vibe at all to "Scalped?" I've read somewhere that it does have a western feel in some ways. I know it would be a modern-day western feel(kinda like the TV series, "Justified" had, & not the "Old West," but u know I luv westerns, so that would definitely sweeten the pot, lol! Also, I'm pretty sure u have "The Goddamned." It's great! Peace!😊👍🏻👍🏻❤
@@Elricsedric Well so far, The Flash (Wally) only..i have a lot of books to read by him...its in my to-do list..I don't spend a lot of time reading comics...i love em but due to my circumstances..i m not able to manage but definitely by the end of this year, I would have read a lot of books by him. But I freakin loved Flash that's why I asked for the list.
This video couldn't have arrived at a more right time ..coz I just read Jason Aaron's Southern Bastards and just loved it..your video was just superb..
I haven't gotten Book One because of how tight the binding is. Do only certain authors at Image get library sized editions? Collecting both books in one would be dope.

His wolverine run is underrated. Almost 119 issues and 3 omnis.
I could add Goddamned as well. Also Aaron / Guera combo.

Scalped is BY FAR the best comic book I have ever read.

His Wolverine run is one of the best.
I loved vol 1! Vol 2 was eh for me - Matt
@@TheHardcoverComic I’ve heard Wolverine and the X-men is his best work. I’m looking forward to the reprint.
@@comicnutt7677 I need to give it a 2nd chance. Didn’t enjoy it first go around
Great video man. This was super helpful when I was researching for my latest episode of Beyond the Page
Regarding the second Southern Bastards hardcover, Amazon has a release date on January 11, 2022. So fingers crossed!
I haven't gotten Book One because of how tight the binding is. Do only certain authors at Image get library sized editions? Collecting both books in one would be dope.
People also love Jason's Star Wars run.
I am one of those people! - Matt
Is it worth reading?
The last issue of southern bastards was #20 did i miss #21? Asking seriously
Scalped better be on here !
Let me guess.
Scalped.
Thor.
Southern bastards.
Maybe punisher run or Star Wars.
And sea of stars.
No real opinion on my favorite Aaron run, but I can say his Incredible Hulk effort was entirely forgettable.
Impossible to get Scalped nowadays…
The Goddamned. ´nuff said
