Comic Bastards - Daniel Vlasaty
Jan 12, 2017This issue read like a great piece of violent crime fiction, quick and sharp with no added fluff. It probably only took me about 15 minutes to read the entire issue. But even though it's a fast read, it still feels like a BIG issue. Like it's a turning point for Coach Boss. But with his reputation and the reputation of his team on the line, we all know there's only one way this thing is going to play out. Read Full Review

Jan 15, 2017I don't think I've ever seen a style of artwork that was quite so complimentary to a story as what Jason Latour has been providing for this series. Southern Bastards art as a whole is edgy and raw. The characters are downright ugly, as they should be. Read Full Review

Jan 10, 2017Southern Bastards is a good, challenging and sometimes difficult read. But the book never loses its potency and things have been converging for a long time now. Read Full Review

Graphic Policy - Joe Ryan
Jan 11, 2017If you are not reading this book, you should be. Even if you are not a football fan, this book is so much more than that. It is a book about standing up for what is right, or putting your head down, when there is corruption that is right in front of everyone. This book does a great job at showing you people who make both of those choices, as people do in real life do. So far, anyone who gets in Coach Boss's way, usually does not again. Is the tide starting to turn? It's 4th down and inches to go for Coach Boss, and I hope the defense stuffs him. Read Full Review

Jan 13, 2017Another beautifully rendered issue that tells a contained story that also drives the plot forward with a stark tone of tragic inevitability. Read Full Review

IGN - Jeff Lake
Jan 12, 2017With much of the last arc focusing on Coach Boss' crumbling football empire, the inevitable crossroads moment was sure to be a doozy. It comes to fruition here, and while the fallout possesses the same myriad layers we've come to expect, it also crosses a line into territory that feels more gratuitous than truly necessary.

Astoundingly good issue. Played out like a movie. The ending was unexpected. It's on now!

Riveting issue that sees Coach Boss descend further into the moral abyss, as he crosses a line he hasn't crossed before. This issue is intense and violent, and brilliantly drawn again. The stakes keep going up, as the ground Coach Boss stands on becomes more and more unstable.
