How I write. In case anyone gives a shit.
– I build an outline for each arc with major story beats, some specific scene notes, maybe some important dialogue. For an issue, I start by just numbering 1 through 22 and writing a brief description of each page. Sometimes after that I’ll go through and breakdown [...]
INGLORIOUS BASTERDS, the (mini) graphic novel. The SCALPED team of artist R.M. Guera and colorist Giulia Brusco have worked with Tarantino to bring a scene from his new film to life in comic form, and Playboy.com has the results.
#29 of SCALPED came out this week, which is the final part of the “High Lonesome” arc, an arc that was really just a collection of character-driven stand-alone issues that loosely tied together. Up next is “The Gnawing,” which is very much a plot-driven arc. Lots of big happenings in that arc. Some of [...]
Willow and I are both at Emerald City Comicon this weekend. I’m at table D-01 and she’s at D-19. Come find us and shake us warmly by the hand. Also, I’ll be on this panel on Sunday:
2:00pm MARVEL: MONDO MARVEL
They come from all corners of the Marvel U to talk to YOU! The most star-studded [...]
From GHOST RIDER #33 and SCALPED #26, both out this week.
We’ve been having server problems. Hopefully they’re sorted out now. If we disappear again, please everyone sacrifice a goat and smear its blood on your computer screen.
By Francesco Francavilla. The issue is part three of “High Lonesome” and is titled “The Ballad of Baylis Earl Nitz.” Look for it in March, where ever finer funny books are sold.

WHAT WORK FROM 2008 ARE YOU THE MOST PROUD OF?
Brian Wood: LOCAL. The best thing I’ve done, and hopefully the first of many Ryan Kelly collabs. And the first NORTHLANDERS book, which not only got me out of my comfort zone but did the same for a lot of people who thought [...]
Congrats to Jason and Guera, SCALPED is top of the CBR pops. Well, #3 anyway.

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 [...]
So the third trade paperback of SCALPED is out now, and the Washington Times says:
Jason Aaron is comics fastest-rising star, and this is his magnum opus (so far). If you haven’t yet, go pick up all three volumes of this killer noir comic and get hooked on the adventures of FBI agent Dashiell Shaw, working [...]
