You Gotta Sin to Get Saved
Part 3: Hearted
By Jason Aaron and RM Guéra

- so far each chapter in this arc has seemed to have a different central character, this time around it is Dino Poor Bear
- He is in love with Carol, misreads the signs, and thinks she loves him back, even goes so far as to buy her jewelry
- before he can give her the earrings he bought her she inadvertently says how much she likes having him as a brother, not realizing what he was about to do
- there's also a subplot about a little girl killed in a hit and run accident, it is implied that Dino is the one who figured out who did it and tipped off Red Crow who in turn told the tribal police
- the ending wasn't hard to envision but it still difficult to read
- the common thread in this arc, so far, seems to be transformation; in part 1 it is Lincoln Red Crow, in part 2 it is Lawrence (in jail) and Officer Franklin Falls Down (Catcher's captive, who may be dead), and now in part 3 it is Dino Poor Bear
- with 2 chapters to go I'm curious to see where this is all leading, from the looks of it Catcher will likely play an important role in the end of the arc but that's just an educated guess
- I still love the way Guéra draws facial expressions and can't get enough of it, although sometimes I do wish that some of the panels were a little more brightly lit than they are
