Southern Bastards Volume 4

I honestly don’t know what to say about this volume other than it was fantastic. Whenever I think I know where the story is going it smacks me in the face and goes “haha no”. Southern Bastards is truly a gem in the comics/graphic novel genre.

One of the best books producedCant wait for next book

Great characters, incredible artwork, fun read.

All things are coming to ahead for Coach Boss and the Aaron's handle it extremely well. While not perfect, the book is very good. Seeing Coach Boss crack is a sight to be seen and the next volume, whenever it comes to be, will be spectacular, but nothing "ends" here. If you've liked any of the previous volumes, read this.

I really have no idea where the series is headed next after reading that ending, but I have faith in the writers Jason to craft something truly compelling with it. The art on hand here has become much more jagged, but in a good way that really lends to the story's grittiness. Latour's contour drawings are masterfully done. Much more focus in the narrative here, as compared to the last volume being somewhat of an anthology laying the groundwork. We finally see some of the major players in Craw Country start to mobilize against Coach Boss in some way; and we get a glimpse into Roberta's past and a bit more of that Tubb family spirit. The series is very slow to release, but it's always a big deal for me when it does. Really one of the best series Image Comics has to offer.

A top shelf story from Aaron and Latour. As every volume does, the events will stick with you long after you’re done. I can’t wait for more. I can’t recommend southern Bastards enough, And I don’t even like football. A MUST READ if you’re into adult graphic novels.

Fourth volume in the series of paperbacks which collect issues of this comic, which is a crime drama set in small town southern America.This contains issues 15-20 of the comic. There are chapter pages so you can tell where one ends and another begins.There's no exposition to bring new readers up to speed, so they should start with volume one.As with other volumes, there's plenty of strong languge, adult moments, and violence, so it's strictly for grown up readers.Following the end of the last volume, the football team has lost a game. Which doesnt happen very often. In a town that thrives on the sport, what will happen as a result? The coach has never been in this position before, and he might find himself faced with some desperate choices to consider.His enemies are gathering. Not least Roberta Tubb, who is in town to get revenge for her father....A very focused volume from the off, which really pulls you in. Whereas book three had a lot of setting up of various strands of the plot to do, it all comes together here. You're reading about people who aren't really likeable, but you can see why they do what they do, and you want to know what they are going to do next and what will happen to them as a result.It does balance it's plot threads as well, keeping the Roberta one lurking in the background for a bit and then bringing it into the action at just the right point to keep things going.One issue has a different artist to the rest, but you quickly get used to the difference.You do feel at the end this could have wrapped up the story at this point, and initially the fact that it shows it's going on for longer could make it feel stretched. But it will still make want to see what is going to happen next.There's a gallery of different covers of the issues after that.Then a text piece from some of the creative team about the personal reasons behind some delays to the comic. This is an emotional read and well worth a look.An excellent volume. Looking forward to the next one.

Good, maybe it's without this "wow" as the first one, but still it's a great adult story.

It’s a small town, everyone takes pride in the achievements of local folks, or do they? There’s no pride in sabotage, there’s no pride in corruption, or is there? Welcome to Southern Bastards, it’s dark and wonderfully written an beautifully illustrated. It’s why I read comics

seriam duas estrelas e meia, mas a amazon não permite fracionar. os desenhos do jason latour são excelentes, um traço fenomenal de um artista que sabe usar os recursos digitais ao seu favor - coisa que poucos sabem.mas a caricatura dos sulistas é abaixo do patético. dá pena de imaginar que seja uma hq tão celebrada. há também uma certa inconsequência em personagens levarem uma paulada na cabeçada para aparecerem instantes depois, todos bem, com um singelo esparadrapo na cabeça.
