Unless this is some sort of ellaborate practical joke on the part of one of my many mortal enemies, it seems Wizard Magazine has picked me as their writer of the year for 2008, which is incredibly flattering and a bit suprising. Over the course of 2008, I had my characters blow themselves up, smoke black tar heroin, fuck each other, fuck a dead dog, eat human flesh, slap nuns, punch nurses, terrorize teenage girls with giant birds, fight a bear, shoot children, decapitate Skrulls, yank eyeballs out, drink excessively, brood, curse, piss on fresh graves and beat someone unconscious with a Bible. Just goes to show I guess, folks like feel-good stories. Look for 2009 to be way bigger and better. But probably with less beastiality (sory, Jock).

Your characters sound like me on an average weekend! Maybe you were chosen as such because people can relate to them. Whatever the case may be, congrats. It is very well deserved!
In person, Jason is one of the nicest guys I’ve ever met.
Which makes the Bible-beating dead-dog-screwing that much more terrifying.
Congrats Jason!
Very awesome! Congrats!
Well, SCALPED, is definitely worth the read!
Hope the above will boost the sales on that book.
sell out
Congratulations. But yeah, what thrilliod said.
i am pretty shocked. were they not allowed to award it to bendis again? anyways good goin. maybe wizard will start covering more of what i like….
Congratulations Jason, you deserved it, you Are a good writer.
I couldn’t have agreed more. If there was any name on a book this year that screamed “I must have it!”, it’s Jason Aaron.
from someone involved in making that dog fucking comic come to life, congrats.
