is finished

Notes:
(1) I guess the moral of the story, or rather the tragic lesson learned, is there's no leaving the rez, not physically nor mentally.
- Dino's dreams of upward mobility come crashing down to earth by threats, gunpoint and chronic bad luck.
- Red Crow tries to be a good man, but is stuck in a permanent grey area when it comes to protecting what's under his stewardship.

Notes:
(1) With Dino and Red Crow, we continue the theme of juxtaposing the lives and choices of two characters.
- Both are trusted with bundles, albeit of different sorts, which leads Dino down a path of corruption and Red Crow down a path to redemption.
(2) We get a flashback melee between the Dog Soldiers and some hippies.
- Just goes to show they are not natural allies.

Notes:
(1) This kicks off with a two-parter, drawn by Davide Furnò, about how Dashiell and Carol use each other to cope and forget about their crappy lives, and in so doing spiral into vice and self-destruction.
- It's all about the hurt and helplessness that lie at the root of their respective quick-temper and licentiousness.
- They both also have deep-seated daddy issues.

Notes:
(1) You know, I was perusing one of my old reviews and I once said that: "Part of the reason why I don't read much literary fiction is precisely because plot often plays second fiddle to symbolism."
- It makes me think, is "Scalped" literary fiction? Because, last volume especially, it's been much more about meaning and reactions to events than any appreciable plots.
