About the author
Jason Aaron
2,357 books1,717 followersJason Aaron grew up in a small town in Alabama. His cousin, Gustav Hasford, who wrote the semi-autobiographical novel The Short-Timers, on which the feature film Full Metal Jacket was based, was a large influence on Aaron. Aaron decided he wanted to write comics as a child, and though his father was skeptical when Aaron informed him of this aspiration, his mother took Aaron to drug stores, where he would purchase books from spinner racks, some of which he still owns today.
Aaron's career in comics began in 2001 when he won a Marvel Comics talent search contest with an eight-page Wolverine back-up story script. The story, which was published in Wolverine #175 (June 2002), gave him the opportunity to pitch subsequent ideas to editors.
In 2006, Aaron made a blind submission to DC/Vertigo, who published his first major work, the Vietnam War story The Other Side which was nominated for an Eisner Award for Best Miniseries, and which Aaron regards as the "second time" he broke into the industry.
Following this, Vertigo asked him to pitch other ideas, which led to the series Scalped, a creator-owned series set on the fictional Prairie Rose Indian Reservation and published by DC/Vertigo.
In 2007, Aaron wrote Ripclaw: Pilot Season for Top Cow Productions. Later that year, Marvel editor Axel Alonso, who was impressed by The Other Side and Scalped, hired Aaron to write issues of Wolverine, Black Panther and eventually, an extended run on Ghost Rider that began in April 2008. His continued work on Black Panther also included a tie-in to the company-wide crossover storyline along with a "Secret Invasion" with David Lapham in 2009.
In January 2008, he signed an exclusive contract with Marvel, though it would not affect his work on Scalped. Later that July, he wrote the Penguin issue of The Joker's Asylum.
After a 4-issue stint on Wolverine in 2007, Aaron returned to the character with the ongoing series Wolverine: Weapon X, launched to coincide with the feature film X-Men Origins: Wolverine. Aaron commented, "With Wolverine: Weapon X we'll be trying to mix things up like that from arc to arc, so the first arc is a typical sort of black ops story but the second arc will jump right into the middle of a completely different genre," In 2010, the series was relaunched once again as simply Wolverine. He followed this with his current run on Thor: God of Thunder.

Historia muy potente, dibujos fantásticos. Sin duda, un final más que digno para la saga del bárbaro más famoso de todos los tiempos, lleno de épica, fiel al personaje y con un último (y primero, en esta continuidad) enfrentamiento con su némesis hechiceril, casi tan célebre como él mismo, Thoth-Amón, viejo y cansado tras las constantes derrotas sufridas a manos del cimmerio, de la mayoría de las cuales, para mayor oprobio del estigio, este ni siquiera había sido consciente.
Lo mejor de la historia es la relación que se establece entre los dos personajes, necesitados el uno del otro para escapar de la trampa mortal en la que han caído, pero incapaces de dejar de despreciarse mutuamente y, en el caso de Thoth-Amón, de traicionar una y otra vez a su renuente aliado. También Conn está magníficamente caracterizado, con la dureza heredada de su padre, pero también con un sentido de la responsabilidad y la gravedad de su cargo a la que Conan, por mucho que lo intentara, jamás pudo acostumbrarse. El duelo entre ambos es uno de los momentos más poderosos de esta estupenda miniserie, uno en el que se muestra con toda claridad algo absolutamente definitorio de su protagonista: que puedes sacar al bárbaro de Cimmeria, pero no puedes sacar a Cimmeria del bárbaro.
En fin, un cómic de lo más recomendable que vuelve a demostrar que Aaron es un estupendo guionista cuando no escribe cómics de súpers, a los que ni entiende ni quiere entender.
