''Southern Bastards'' is an ongoing Creator/ImageComics series by Jason Aaron and Jason Latour chronicling the exploits of Craw County, Alabama following the return of Earl Tubb, former High School Defensive End and son to legendary former Sheriff Bertrand "Big Bert" Tubb. Earl merely wants to pack up the belongings of a family member moving out of town for medical reasons, eat a rack of ribs, check out his former team the Runnin' Rebs play a game of ball, and get the hell out of town. However, he sees how much worse the town has become, a hotbed of drug dealing and violence headed by the Rebs' coach, Euless Boss. Against his better judgment, Earl decides to do something about it. However, things aren't exactly that cut and dried...
