Southern Bastards #13

From Jason Aaron and Jason Latour comes the fifth chapter of the "Homecoming" arc, and this cover makes a striking case for what Southern Bastards does better than almost anyone — mixing Southern grit with raw, visceral imagery. A football player in a white uniform and helmet surges upward, brandishing a barbed-wire-wrapped baseball bat above a crowd of helmeted figures, the word "HOMECOMING" looming large across the bottom of the frame. Jason Latour's cover art crackles with kinetic energy, blending the brutality of the gridiron with something far darker lurking underneath.
