Status Updates From Scalped: Dead Mothers (Scal...

Notes:
(1) The last issue, drawn by Davide Furnò, is a noticeable artistic departure.
- While a similar sketchy aesthetic to Guéra and Leon, Furnò is less inky and more dry brush, if you get what I mean. Reminiscent of Matteo Scalera or Sean Gordon Murphy.
(2) Boy, pummeling things out of rage seems like a common theme.
- Officer Falls Down totally wrecks a vending machine.

Notes:
(1) Despite clear differences, the behavior of Dashiell and Red Crow are constantly mirrored.
- They both use their fists to express rage over murdered women. Dashiell pummels the side of his truck while Red Crow nearly beats a dice cheat to death.
(2) So many tramp stamps! If you didn't already know this takes place in the mid-2000s, the tramp stamps hammer it home.

Notes:
(1) The first issue here is composed of dream sequences.
- I hate dream sequences! Decent enough here but, generally speaking, I've no patience for the purely symbolic.
(2) John Paul Leon's art style meshes fairly well with R.M. Guéra's, albeit still very distinct.
- They both look like quick sketches with a Sharpie or brush pen, but Leon's style is much less coarse.

Notes:
(1) This is the first book with multiple artists. Though, it appears to just be guest issues and not a full-on succession.
- It'll be interesting to see how closely (or not) styles match up and whether differences change the tone and tenor of the series in any way.
(2) I assume this is a return to linear storytelling and not anything unconventional like last volume.
