Southern Bastards Volume 3: Homecoming by Jason Latour, Jason Aaron

4.0

Southern Bastards unexpectedly became a series that I look forward to reading when it becomes available to me. Yes, it's exaggerated, and includes stereotypes about the south. However, both Jason Aaron and Jason Latour are passionate about the project, as proud Southerners themselves, and as such are invested in portraying the things that they're proud of about the culture of the South, as well as the complexity and ugliness, all with comic book flair that includes dark humor and violence. This collection, more than the others due to the fact that each issue focuses on one side character of the rural community, is about empathizing with people, in all their flaws. These people feel, for lack of a better word, real, and we love and loathe about them things that we recognize in ourselves and other people we know.

P.S. Thanks to Jason Latour for writing his essay about his feelings about the Rebel flag to address controversy over one of his variant covers.
