Southern Bastards Volume 3: Homecoming

If you have read the previous volumes of Souther Bastards, then you already know how damn good this series is. This Eisner nominated series returns with the third installment of the hellacious southern crime series. Latour's art just keeps getting better and better, the characters only get deeper, and more secrets are drudged up from the murk of the southern Alabaman forest with each issue. Aaron's writing, as always, remains stellar and absolutely perfect for the tone and grit of this genre. One that I think Aaron kind of created and is the master of. Of all the famous crime writer's, Brubaker gives you beautifully concise and gritty urban crime stories generally based on the West Coast cities, Brian Azzarello gives you the dirty rotten New York crime pulp tale, while Jason Aaron gives you the mud soaked, southern fried crime tail from a place that you could only have grown up in to have the confidence to write about. All hail Aaron and all of his books. 5 stars.

I worked through three volumes. The art is absolute garbage. Jason Aaron is a terrible writer and I've no idea how he keeps getting work. It's as if some yuppie liberal arts student from the burbs rolled every insult, rumor, and stereotype to ever exist about Southerners into a single narrative. As someone who has spent half their life in American metropolises and the other half in rural America, I've never once observed the caricature of rurals that urban-dwellers insist upon to be true, not remotely.If you actually believe rural peoples are inbred retards, then you're ignorant enough to love this series.

I thought this was going to be a graphic novel about a man trying to save his home town but it is so much better than that! Cinematic in feel, someone PLEASE turn this into a tv show, Aaron and Latour have taken what could have been a simple plot and expanded it into this amazing “what’s going to happen next?!?” series that will have you waiting to see which side the citizens of craw county take.

The first two volumes felt like they had a lot of story. Compared to those, this one covers a lot less ground. It's more like an anthology filling in details of previously introduced characters. Like many anthologies, some parts work better than others. I enjoyed it, but I'm eager for the writers to pick up the main threads of the story and (I hope) wrap it up in volume four.

I read volume one of Southern Bastards and instantly fell in love. The gritty art and writing paired with the Southern setting works so well. It helps that the whole time I'm reading it I'm constantly reminded of where I grew up. Must read for any crime fans from the South.

Love this series. It's great to see new American graphic novels that are this captivating!

Awesome!

I'm hooked!

A great story, that keeps getting better and better. The Illustrations are great and I love the colouring. I would highly recommend.
