I am referring to 'Scalped', by Jason Aaron and R.M. Guera published by DC's Vertigo imprint.

He also states that Shaman is the only "Canadian First Nations" example. I find it hard to conceive that the book reviewed doesn't mention Shaman's superheroic daughter Talisman, who would also be at least partly of Canadian-Indian extraction. I personally would put her on the list of my top five as I think she was better-designed and a good deal less dull than Shaman. "Hawk," despite his stereotypical name, was another good one, from the Russell/McGregor WAR OF THE WORLDS.

I just finished it today, actually. It should be out December 3rd, barring some sort of disaster or giant robot stepping on the SLG offices...
