Death and destruction have come to Sulphur Springs! With the murder of one of their own, the vampiric Bowmans are ready to wage war on anyone in their path. But will Bartlett be able to get to the bottom of things before the whole town explodes?
DONNY CATES and LISANDRO ESTHERREN bring you the next chapter in this blood-soaked, Southern-fried Gothic masterpiece!
It's pretty obvious that I'm really digging this book. It's refreshing. Especially in the tired vampire subgenre. I like violence as much as the next guy. But it can't just be violence for the sake of violence. It has to mean something. There has to be something at stake, something gained or lost in the violence. And Redneck has all of that, the perfect blend of it. Donny Cates is a killing it right now, and he's got a solid creative team backing him on Redneck. This book is the perfect cross between Southern Bastards and horror. It's kind of weird to me that I'm always finding myself drawn to these southern crime/fantasy/horror stories when I've never been to the south, don't know anyone that hails from those parts, and really have no desire to ever go to Texas. I don't really know what that has to do with anything. But it's true. Read Full Review
The creative team should be extremely proud of this title as it is a front-runner for best new series of the year. I am going to gladly pass along this series to all of my none-comic friends and let them try this series on. I think it'll win over a lot of hearts and minds in the weeks and months to come.

Cates strikes a good blend of action and world building. There are some side glances at character development here and there, but this issue is consequence driven, while the last page puts us at the apex of some seriously bad shit. Read Full Review
All-in-all, this was a great issue. You'll have fun and want this on your pull list indefinitely. Should you pick this up? Yes, but try to get yourself #1 so you can really tell whats going on. Is this a good jumping on point? You'll get the gist of what happened in the issue. Was this the best issue so far? No idea but I'm willing to find out! Read Full Review
The book is full of action and excitement, with great scenes that move the story further in an interesting way. The art is perfect for a dark & shadowy vampire book and the beautiful Texas environments are well realized. The writer seems to be holding a lot back from us which makes us readers want to keep reading to unravel all the mysteries. Also,there are a lot of cool hooks in this book for readers to get interested in this book. I really enjoyed this book and hope to continue reading further. Be sure to pick this issue up on May 24th, 2017! Read Full Review
Redneck is a truly gripping series, and feels a lot more like a Southern ‘family feud'-based drama than a quote-unquote Vampire story at this point. This latest chapter does a stellar job of gradually bringing the already tense situation to the boil, revelling in the strained interactions between the different generations of the Bowman family before erupting into life in the final pages. Highly recommended, and in case you missed the memo: Donny Cates. 2017. His year. Read Full Review
Redneck #2 continues to build the tension and uncertainty of what is to come for these southern vampires. Will this family feud consume the town or will they be able to brush this all under the rug? Read Full Review
Redneck is an incredible comic that humanizes a family of vampires. It reads like a compelling family drama with real emotion, then escalates into pure, unbridled horror when the fangs come out. Things are going to get a lot worse before they get better and I am absolutely pulled in, hook, line, and sinker. Read Full Review
Cates' powerfully understated writing and Estherren's quirky artwork are completely in sync, perfectly setting the stage for what can only be explosive drama to come. Read Full Review
As if I wasn't already captivated by the first issue of Redneck, issue #2 justified everything that led you to putting this book on your pull-list. There were chills and they didn't get this from cheap tricks and tactics, they did this by getting down to the nitty gritty about what it means to be a vampire. Read Full Review
'Redneck' #2 is the precursorof deadly things to come. Cates sets his marvelous characters in motion that will surely erupt in an explosive clash. If you're a fan of Southern Bastards (and you should be) and want a twist of horror unlike any other then 'Redneck' is for you. There are few must-reads in comics and this is definitely one of them. Read Full Review
Donny Cates and Lissando Estherren's Kentucky-fried vampire tale is an interesting beast, in part because it feels more akin to a crime story than anything innately supernatural. Read Full Review
Redneck has turned into a very interesting “vampire” story. Cates continues to prove he is a fantastic writer that really knows how to tell a gripping story in a variety of settings. Whether it's a vampire family running a BBQ joint or a family dealing with their father wielding a “god sword” Cates knows how to transform these stories into emotional family dramas. Even with some art complaints which is just my opinion (obviously) Redneck is worth the price of admission and should not be overlooked. Read Full Review
For an issue that's mostly entirely set up for the next, I was completely on board with this issue. It had me on the edge of my seat more than once just from the family interactions alone. Can't wait until the next issue!
If you haven't read the first 2 issues yet, get out there and pick them up. This series looks like it's going to be fantastic. Add this book to your pull list. You won't be disappointed.
