The first contest for our Two Years Later anniversary sees us giving away a copy of the first volume of Jason Aaron's & R.M. Guéra's critically acclaimed creator owned comic, Scalped, from DC's Vertigo imprint. The reason I chose this title is that I'm a huge fan of Jason Aaron's writing and wanted to introduce people to his creator owned work outside of Marvel and figured this would be the perfect introduction to the crime/noir/western Scapled series.With that said, hit the jump to find out how you can win your own copy of Scalped Vol 1: Indian Country

I believe I should win because Scalped would be my first full on venture to "indy" comics. This will most likely spike my interest in them, and expand my comic library.

After Immortal Weapons #1, I kinda want to read everything Aaron's ever done (though I suspect fewer squads of Nazi ninjas in this one).

I should win because, even though I've never read Scalped, thanks to Jason Aaron, I bought, read and enjoyed runs of Black Panther, Ghost Rider, and Wolverine, all of which I previously thought were pretty much unreadable titles. If he can breathe life into a Secret Invasion tie-in, I'd love to see what he can do with his own material! Jason Aaron rules!!

I should win because I am very good at being picked at random.
I shouldn't win because I haven't written my name and I m just spamming. Also you can give it as a no prize to be and thus get to keep it yourself [:p]

I believe I should win because a) I'm Canadian (and who doesn't like a Canadian) b) my wife has used logic to get me to stop buying singles because storing them becomes a problem in our house c) my nine month old daughter needs to be exposed to the great hobby that is comics and this would be a great addition to a small but expanding library of graphic novels.

I should win because I've helped increase traffic by 6 people single handedly and I've always wanted to read Scalped, especially after Get Mystique, the best Wolverine story arc in over ten years.

It's always nice to get free things from a site I look at all the time anyway.

Never read Scalped b4, but would like to try it, so help a brother out.

I've heard good things about Scaled from big time reviewers and friends. I have always been tempted to check it out but this seems like the perfect chance.
We should give it to the guy that wants to expose his nine month old to Scalped. Now THAT'S dedication to a medium.
Matt - As soon as my wife gets pregnant (which hopefully won't be a while), I plan on reading comics aloud directly to her stomach, including describing the pictures. I want that baby coming out with a natural appreciation for Alan Moore and Jack Kirby.
To win the Final Crisis hardcover, we should do a contest to see what father does the craziest comic-related with their child.
I'm naming my first daughter Elektra!

I should win because I've about peed myself laughing at the comments others have left and should be compensated.
Meh it's as good a reason as any.

Why should I win? I grew up on a South Dakota reservation (Flandreau Santee Sioux Reservation). I worked at a Tribal Casino (Royal River Casino) and will bring a world of Res Hurt down on your ass if you don't give me this.

Reason: The number of titles I'm regularly reading continues to decline, and by all accounts Jason Aaron could reverse that trend. Help get me hooked.

I should win because this was totally on my to-buy list already, and if I win it instead, I can buy a different comic book, probably Queen & Country volume 1. Or that Mouse Guard thingy.
I'm not sure if I'd win, but what the heck, it's not gonna hurt to join, right?

Jeremiah D. Allan

I should win because I'm a huge fan of Jason's work at Marvel but purposely avoided him at a con because I hadn't read SCALPED and didn't want to look like a fool. With this volume, I'll never have to make that same mistake again.

I got into comics last February and have been reading trades of a bunch of DC and Marvel stuff since but would like to branch out into creator owned stuff. This would definately help out a relative newbie find some good stuff!

I've read this before but I NEED the trade. Mostly so's I can lend it out to friends and family and the sheer awesome power of Jason Aaron will hook them on comics!

I should get it because I trust your opinion as a reviewer.

Over a year ago, My LCBS closed down. A couple of months later, I was fired from my job. Since then, I have not been able to buy comics or take a trip to the closest shop, save for Free Comic Book Day. It'd be a really great treat to recieve a trade from the place where I'm able to keep track of where the comic book worlds are going.
Justin Farer

I should win because my shelf always needs more trades.
Max Barnard

I should win because it'd be a real middle finger to everyone who's put real thought into this whole reason they should win thing
james AT kidinfinity DOT co DOT uk
I should win because if I get the first taste for free, I'll likely buy the rest of the series so you'll effectively be putting food on Jason Aaron's table.
Mike Panetta

I've heard really good things about Scalped and I've been wanting to read it for a while now.

i should win because i recently got into vertigo and want to read more gritty realistic comics... and this one would look great in my vertigo trade section.
matthew serban
matthewserban AT gmail DOT COM
I should win because I'm reading every other vertigo title besides this one and it would be nice to snag a trade for free before i pay down tons of cash for the rest of the series. And, I love you, man.
Simon Card

Ive never read scalped but loved Aaron on Get Mystique. Should win so i have a chanec to read it.

I've been digging Jason Aaron's Wolverine stuff, and I want to see where he really got his start.

I should win because I'm less of a wimp then Kirk. My daughter will be named Queen Hippolyta of Themyscira.
Andy

I should win because I am immortal, I have inside me blood of kings, I have no rival, and no man can be my equal. Oh yeah, and I think Jason Aaron is the bee's knees.
Arthur Chin

I should win because I enjoy reading Scalped and look forward to it when it gets released.

I should win for the simple reason that I hear Scalped is very good but I'll probably just never drop the $10 to try it.
Mike Hintze

I work with Indigenous peoples everyday and have never seen a work of fiction get the surprising nod of approval from them like this series does. Many of the people I work with say they know of reservations just like what is shown in Scalped. A testament to the research done by Jason Aaron!
...because I will make everyone I know read it.

I should win because I now know that what I want to collect in life is good comics.
Andrew Irwin

Because when the zombie ninjas invade Australia, the last thing they'll expect to face is a RES beatdown, truly a fighting style I can use to save my nation (so I'll need to read this to study up on it).

I should win because I love comics, and am always trying to get others to intensely inappropriately do the same.
James M
sl1.james AT gmail DOT com
Like others, I appreciate the book because it is a dark reflection of what life is like on the rez. It is the only book that I both love and hate to read, because it is such a quality book that also manages to distress me to the realities of the life it tells through fiction, and because of that I have been motivated to work with people to change that.
Neal Barnett
ion293@yahoo.com
I think I should win because I havn't got the chance yet to read the book! I have heard great things about it and really want to check it out. Unfortunatly I am a poor grad student and lack the funds. I am studying American History and Native Americans especially so I have a particular interest in the subject matter. I might even be able to incorporate the material into some research ideas I am playing around with concerning popular media portrayals with historic connotations.

Neil Blumengarten

I'm a mainstream comic fan of the "regular" universe, mostly DC, and very rarely venture into Vertigo, so this would be a good way to try a title I wouldn't normally buy.
Pham Duy Nguyen

why I should win? because I'm awesome, and because Jason Aaron is awesome too.
