Gambling, gunfights, G-men, Dawg Soldierz, massacres, meth labs, trashy sex, fry bread, Indian pride, Thunder Beings and the rugged beauty of the Badlands. In other words, life on the rez. FBI agent Dash Bad Horse has been forced back into a life and a place that he thought he escaped years before: The Prairie Rose Indian Reservation. To bring down local crime boss Lincoln Red Crow, Dash goes undercover as one of Red Crow’s hired guns. But when Dash’s own mother is slaughtered and scalped, the double agent’s loyalties become even more tangled-until not even he’s sure who the real bad guys are. In SCALPED: THE DELUXE EDITION BOOK TWO, star writer Jason Aaron (Thor, Original Sin) and artist R.M. Guéra (BATMAN ETERNAL, DJANGO UNCHAINED) continue their critically acclaimed tale of Native American noir, with guest art by John Paul Leon and Davide Furnò and covers by Jock.

The Konstantinov is dispatched to help quell the uprising in the province of Nokgorka, and Skymarshall Urik Antares is ordered to send ground troops into the city of Bahamut over his objections. The skymarshall's concerns prove well-founded, as the Nokgorkan resistance does heavy damage to the invading krawl units. When her friend Alexandra is killed in action, Sorceress-Major Maya Antares enters Bahamut to find the body - and perhaps be reunited with her friend and with her long lost husband, Marcus. But at Alexandra's grave, Maya finds an opportunity for rebirth, not merely for herself, but for her country.
Against all odds, undercover FBI agent Dash Bad Horse has managed to keep his cover intact while gaining the trust of Lincoln Red Crow, the man whose criminal empire he's been tasked with bringing down. But, like everything on the Prairie Rose Indian Reservation, the road has been dirty and dangerous, with death always just a slip of the tongue away. Tough as he is, Dash is starting to buckle under the pressure -- and after the brutal murder of his mother, the job has finally pushed him over a line he never intended to cross. Now, just when he needs all his wits to navigate the ever-shifting web of intrigue around him, Dash has numbed himself blind with sex, booze, and heroin -- and three decades' worth of secrets are about to explode all over the rez.
