Jason Aaron was named by Wizard Magazine as the best comic book writer of 2008 for his work on WOLVERINE, BLACK PANTHER and GHOST RIDER for Marvel Comics, along with HELLBLAZER and his own Eisner-Award-nominated series SCALPED, both for DC/Vertigo. He is also the co-creator of the Eisner-nominated mini-series THE OTHER SIDE for Vertigo and writer on the upcoming WOLVERINE: WEAPON X series for Marvel. He was born in Alabama, but currently resides in Kansas City.
"The best new series in years." -- Garth Ennis (THE PUNISHER, PREACHER)
"SCALPED is one of the best comics ever created and definitely the best published in 2008." -- Philadelphia Daily News
SCALPED Vol. 3: DEAD MOTHERS
"SCALPED has attitude, SCALPED has guts and SCALPED is no holds barred. In short, SCALPED is fucking great." -- Crimespree Magazine
"If SCALPED doesn't leave shivers down your back, read it again." -- Reznet News
SCALPED Vol. 4: THE GRAVEL IN YOUR GUTS
"One of the richest, most rewarding reads around." --Wizard
"SCALPED blends straight-up noir with an epic tale of ’70s Native American radicals-turned-criminals, nasty backstabbing and the lure of casino cash. Killer in every way." --Decibel Magazine
THE OTHER SIDE
"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 (Y: THE LAST MAN, "Lost")
"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
SECRET INVASION: BLACK PANTHER
"A truly must-read." --Wizard Magazine
"So what do you get when you pair a relatively unknown artist with a striking visual style with an up-and-coming writer who's gaining a reputation for kicking the ass of whatever he puts his mind to? You get the best issue of Black Panther that I've ever read." --Comics Bulletin
GHOST RIDER: HELL BENT AND HEAVEN BOUND
"GHOST RIDER is like an awesome grindhouse movie!" -- iFanboy
"Grindhouse meets Vertigo. It's a perfect blend." -- Ain't It Cool News
"If you want to read the best new voice in mainstream comics today, you’ve got to check out GHOST RIDER." -- Rack Raids
WOLVERINE: GET MYSTIQUE
"Basically just an excuse to let Jason Aaron strut his stuff. Fine by me!" -- Washington Times
"Jason Aaron has delivered my favorite Wolverine story of all time. Period. " -- IGN

Yes, what a shock. He wasn't just a great actor, but a great person as well, and he will be missed.
