Matt and Mike Read Comics Episode 18: Southern Bastards

On episode 18 of Matt and Mike Read Comics we dive into the world of Southern Bastards. Another wonderful recommendation from Mike, Southern Bastards starts off as a seemingly run-of-the-mill reluctant-loner-saves-the-day sort of story set in the deep south where football runs all, even crime. Despite it’s on-the-surface paint by numbers plot, the characters are suprisingly deep and relatable. And then just when you think it’s going to be a tale you’ve heard before, the presumtive hero gets killed. Now what? I did NOT see that twist coming and then the story really takes off. Needless to say, I am excited to read more of this series!
