About the series
In the sweltering, football-obsessed town of Craw County, Alabama, Southern Bastards (2014–2016, Image) takes a hard, unflinching look at high school sports, small-town power, and the simmering violence beneath the Friday night lights. Written by Jason Aaron and illustrated by Jason Latour, this four-issue series grounds its gritty Southern noir in the complicated legacy of a former star player returning home to a coach who rules with an iron fist. A raw, character-driven crime saga, it matters for how it uses the gridiron as a stage for a brutal, personal reckoning with family, pride, and the cost of loyalty.
