Southern Bastards #6

A battered figure in football gear sits alone in what appears to be a locker room, a revolver resting in his taped hands and discarded equipment scattered at his feet — it's a quietly menacing image that says everything about the brutal world Jason Aaron and Jason Latour are building in Craw County. The deep crimson palette and the word "BOSS" visible on the locker behind him give the scene a brooding, pressure-cooker weight that fits "Gridiron Part Two" perfectly. This 2014 Image series continues to prove that Southern noir and football make for one hell of a combination.
