'Scalped' No. 1 was only the third comic script I'd ever written. I really learned a lot about writing on the fly with that series. Jason Aaron comicflylearn Change image and share on social
Plot-wise, there's nothing particularly groundbreaking about 'Scalped.' It starts off as something we've seen plenty of times before: the story of an undercover FBI agent infiltrating a criminal organization and the story of the guy at the head of that organization. The twist was always the setting: a modern-day Native American reservation. Jason Aaron agentamericancriminal share on social
From the get-go, 'Original Sin' was always as much a Nick Fury story as anything else. Jason Aaron furynickoriginal Change image and share on social
I just typed up three, four paragraphs of an idea and dropped it in a box at the Chicago Comic Con in the summer of 2000, I guess, or 2001 - I forget. I just dropped it on a stack of a giant pile of dozens of other entries. Months later, I was thrilled to get a call from a Marvel editor while I was working my crappy day-job.

I love characters who are kind of haunted by their pasts, who struggle on despite their flaws, knowing that, at the end of the day, they're not going to shuffle off to those pearly gates. Jason Aaron characterdayend Change image and share on social
I was raised Christian; I was raised in the South where everybody's raised Christian, but at this point, I'm 41 years old, and I've been an atheist, at this point, a little more than half my life. Jason Aaron atheistchristianhalf Change image and share on social

Thor is a god who's lived in Asgard most all his life, but I think he still has a sense of awe and wonder about the place. I want us, as readers, to have that same sense of awe whenever we see, finally see, the golden spires of Realm Eternal. Jason Aaron asgardaweeternal share on social
I wrote and drew my own books on notebook paper, and I'd staple 'em together. I had my own fictional company, and we had our own thinly veiled offshoots of whatever was popular at Marvel and DC at the time. Jason Aaron bookcompanydraw share on social
I think it's our job as writers for Marvel Comics to continue to create those type of stories that can be mined instead of just trying to give readers exactly what they see on film. Jason Aaron comiccontinuecreate Change image and share on social
