Southern Bastards, Volume 1: Here Was a Man
by Jason Aaron
Update: Re-read
So I liked it more the second time around. It does feel a little light, and I didn't love any of the characters, but the art is really damn good. I also enjoyed the ending, even if I guessed it, but it does built the town world up nicely. I say it's around a 2.5 but I'll bump it to a 3. Going to read volume 2 now.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Maybe I just didn't gather what the fuss was about but besides some nice artwork I basically was bored half way through. None of the characters clicked with me, none of the situations were interesting, no twist I didn't expect. I didn't care much about the background of "Boss". I just felt like it was all one big setup. Maybe Volume 2 will fair better.
