Jason Aaron explains 'Scalped' conclusion

Jason Aaron has discussed the conclusion of Scalped.

The acclaimed X-Men: Schism writer's Eisner-nominated Vertigo title will conclude early next year with issue #60.

It was revealed that Aaron and R M Guéra's series was soon to end during the Vertigo panel at San Diego Comic-Con.

"[It] still feels weird to see it finally spelled out so definitely, but this has actually been the plan for quite a while now," wrote Aaron on his blog. "This was my choice. We were not cancelled or forced into an ending. The series will be ending just the way I've always imagined it ending.

"There are a couple of smaller stories I always thought I might get to which I ultimately won't, but those were set aside in the interest of giving the series as solid a finish as possible."

Aaron continued: "There won't be any more stand-alone issues. Instead we'll have two final big arcs to bring everything home, with Guéra drawing every issue. Expect a death or two and hopefully at least a couple of surprises. And expect everyone to get the ending they've got coming to them, good or bad.

"In many ways, the entire story of Scalped will ultimately be about what happens in these last ten issues. Thanks again to everybody who's stuck with us this long. And I promise you, we're all doing our best not to let you down."

It was also announced at Comic-Con that Aaron would be writing Marvel Comics' new Incredible Hulk title alongside veteran artist Marc Silvestri.
