Jan 23, 2018With its sterling characterization and its down-and-dirty artwork, Southern Bastards is a must-read series - and of that must-read series, this issue might be one of the strongest yet. There's such a wonderful sense of pressure and tension to this series at this point, even as Aaron and Latour have veered from the lone antihero story of Earl Tubb and moved into murkier waters thanks to their brilliant Coach Boss arc. If you pick out one book this week, make it this one. Read Full Review

Jan 24, 2018The story continues to amaze and the art continues to match the gritty tone of the book. The duo of Aaron and Latour can do no wrong when it comes to this superb series, so I'll always forgive the schedule this book has. Read Full Review

Jan 23, 2018Southern Bastards comes back swinging the big stick right out of the gate. It hasn't been a game for a long time, but the stakes could not be higher. We are converging on the big story and the boulder is rolling downhill. Nothing feels safe. Read Full Review

Jan 24, 2018Just when you think the series is going to go in one direction, Aaron and Latour shifts things and the end of this issue is one of those. Where things are going and how it'll play out? We'll have to wait and see and I'm counting down the days. Consistently one of the best comic series on the market. Read Full Review

Despite its lengthy delays, "Southern Bastards" continues to make an impact with each issue, and this is a dynamic one. Coach Boss has been down lately, but this issue shows he's not out, even with a series of people out for his head. The violence is palpable here in perhaps one of the most violent episodes of the series, but all of this seems in line with the escalating stakes for Coach Boss and our other key players. Also great here is the art of Jason Latour, who outdid himself here. Labour's style is such an awesome fit for the story--like nothing else out there, "Southern Bastards" is one of the best comics being published today.

This is what I’m talking about right here, man. Right as Coach Boss is turning things around, football-wise, he’s confronted by Roberta, who’s about ready to kill him…just for Boone to show up to kill Boss himself. Incredibly invested right now, and I’m really looking forward to the next issue. Hoping it’s another hit.
