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
The first big long-form work I did in comics was 'Scalped' for Vertigo, which ran for 60 issues. Jason Aaron bigcomicform Change image and share on social
'Original Sin' is, for me, a murder mystery with a huge cast that plays out on a grand stage. Jason Aaron castgrandhuge Change image and share on social
An important part of any good mystery story like 'Original Sin' is that it's not just a game of 'Clue' with surprise after surprise after surprise, but the goal is to tell a story in the midst of that. Even once you know the solution to the mysteries, it's far from the whole story. Jason Aaron cluegamegoal 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 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
'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

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
