Aaron tells an intense crime drama that mixes organized crime with current Native American culture. Fifteen years ago, Dashiell "Dash" Bad Horse ran away from a life of abject poverty and utter hopelessness on the Prairie Rose Indian Reservation in hopes of finding something better. Now he's come back home only to find a community attempting to rectify their scattered and anglicized identity through protest, drugs, or exploiting white people with a new, glitzy casino.

Although the gritty artwork was a bit jarring (hey, come on, I had been reading Amulet and other juvenile graphic novels for awhile beforehand) I appreciated Guera's ability to capture action, movement, and direction. However, I am still having a hard time differentiating the main characters' faces due to different angles or shadowing.

Complex characters paired with an intriguing, fast-paced plot equal a graphic novel worthy of a following. I do hope that the following issues add more complexity to the American Indian lifestyle rather than misery, despair, and pain.
