Southern Bastards #7

A lone figure — an older man leaning on a cane, seen from behind — stands dwarfed beneath a swirling cascade of football play diagrams that fill the blood-red sky above him. It's a quietly arresting image from Jason Latour, whose cover art for "Gridiron Part Three" captures something almost mythic about the weight of the game in small-town Southern life. Issue seven of this gritty Image series keeps the tension simmering as Jason Aaron and Latour continue their unflinching look at power, football, and the dirt of Craw County.
