- "SCALPED is some of the most compelling character work and crime writing I've seen in a long time." -- Ed Brubaker
- "The best new series in years. Spread the word. Tell your friends. Talk about it. Blog about it." -- Garth Ennis
- "Aaron's talent for dialogue is complemented spectacularly by R.M. Guéra's vivid pencil work." -- Playboy
- "One of the richest, most rewarding reads around." -- Wizard
- "SCALPED has attitude, SCALPED has guts and SCALPED is no holds barred. In short, SCALPED is fucking great." -- Crimespree Magazine
- "If you're not reading SCALPED, you're crazy. You are literally, not metaphorically, a lunatic, and you will probably end up in some sort of asylum if you're not careful. It's that good. It will keep you sane with its greatness." -- Timothy Callahan, author of GRANT MORRISON: THE EARLY YEARS
- "If SCALPED doesn't leave shivers down your back, read it again." -- Reznet News
- "For this arc, Aaron has wisely distilled Logan's traits down to what's always been cool about the character - claws; violence; shadowy past; all-around badass tendencies - and run with them, creating equal parts action book and quirky thriller, to great success...Jason Aaron has delivered my favorite Wolverine story of all time. Period. " --IGN
- "As good a Wolverine story as you could hope for, and a damn good story by any measure." --Comics Bulletin
- "GHOST RIDER is like an awesome grindhouse movie!" -- iFanboy
- "Grindhouse meets Vertigo. It's a perfect blend." -- Ain't It Cool News
- "With GHOST RIDER, Jason Aaron has planted his flag in the Marvel Universe and said, 'I will kick your ass with greatness.' ...He's escalating the comic into something great. And you should start reading it, now." -- Timothy Callahan, author of GRANT MORRISON: THE EARLY YEARS
- "If you want to read the best new voice in mainstream comics today, you’ve got to check out GHOST RIDER." -- Rack Raids
- "Not since Eric Remarque's All Quiet on the Western Front has a novel--graphic or otherwise--been as powerful, stirring, unsettling, and thought-provoking... THE OTHER SIDE is nothing short of a true classic." -- Library Journal
- "A stunner of a comic. In fact, few war stories in any medium blend such horror with such a poetic humanization of the enemy." -- Playboy.com
- "This book isn't trying to be important, it just is. One of the very best comics Vertigo has published since PREACHER." -- Brian K. Vaughan
- "Because the characters and their manias brought on by the war's atrocities are so compelling, the only bad part about THE OTHER SIDE is that it has to end." -- Washington Post

Yeah, you finally got to meet Grant! I remember in San Diego you missed out. Was it the sigil trick?
Seriously, Grant Morrison is a gentleman. From my fan end, I've bumped into him a few times and I find him very approachable and polite (as long as he's not around crowds of thousands)
Hope New York was swell
Nice! If there is one dude out there that I'd love to hear sound off on just about any topic it would be Grant. His way of looking at things is just so unique. Plus with his accent everything he says just sounds cool. :)

Um...finding out you weren't the only bald guy there ?
You guys were talking about me, werent you?
About what a pain in the ass you are, yeah.
