review:
'Southern Bastards Deluxe Hardcover Volume 1'collects the first 8 issues of the series, which is also the first two volumes of graphic novels that have been out already. If you haven't read the series, this is a great place to start.

The series takes place in Craw County where high school football rules the day and covers up a multitude of sins. The story takes place over generations and includes characters like a man who returns to a town he never wanted to go back to, a corrupt high school football coach, and other interesting types. The story would seem to be predictable, but even in these early issues holds a few surprises.

I've enjoyed this series, but it is definitely a journey into the dark hearts of men. There is definitely a strongly hinted showdown coming to this little town, and I can't wait to read more in the series. This deluxe hardcover costs a bit more than the softcover versions, and it's got a few nice extras like a cover gallery, a sketch gallery with thumbnail sketches that were put up on Instagram by Jason Latour and character designs and sketches. Included are recipes submitted by readers of the comic including ones from the mothers of the artist and writer of the comic.

I received a review copy of this graphic novel from Image Comics and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.
