A brutal story set in a small town in Alabama where the local high school football coach is also the big bad who runs the town. The townfolk are either terrorized in to staying in line, or turn a blind eye, choosing instead to cheer on the home team. In to this situation returns the long gone son of the former sheriff and is unwillingly pulled in to a confrontation with the status quo. I have to say I enjoyed this a lot more than I thought I would. Contains the first two trades.
An interesting graphic novel series produced by a couple of guys who both love the South and are very concerned about the South. The graphics are pretty good and do add to the plot. The story threatens to descend into stereotypes talking about well traveled plot, but is well enough done, that it is worth the read. Like most modern graphic novels it is very much a series that is only for adults.
