Jason:  "Working on it.  Should be soon."

This is great to hear!

So a random old movie came on the other day. 

I was in a weird frame of mind where I was down with checking it out.  Why?  Because the main character was in Fletch. 

Anyway, part way thru, I realize it's feeling real damn familiar. 

Guy comes back to town, finds out things are corrupt, tries to dispense some justice, gets whooped, then decides he's taking that justice to the streets. 

And what does he use to dispense this justice.  A big ole' bad stick.   Hmmmmm.

Movie is called Walking Tall. 

In full disclosure, it was late so I only made it halfway thru.  

Has Aaron ever discussed this as an influence?

He said he liked the remake with The Rock in it better.

Did you say Fletch? Oh man, classic!

Did a google search on Southern Bastards #21 and found a blog update by Jason Aaron I'd never seen and got excited. Then I realized I was reading an entry from January 2019, not January 2020.  doh! 
Nevertheless, I choose to believe, so here it is!  :sumo:

(first section is about The Goddamned series, and then...)

Pretty much the same goes for SOUTHERN BASTARDS. Right now we’ve got four trades in print, and that fourth one ended at a pretty pivotal moment story-wise, as Roberta Tubb made the decision to stick around in her father’s old stomping ground and fight to oppose Coach Boss’s interests. The next story will open on a Craw County in upheaval.

Jason Latour is writing and drawing the next issue himself, and that’ll serve as a direct lead-in to our next big arc, “Rebs,” when the mess really starts to hit the fan, for everybody involved. We’ll also be looking to release our second hardcover collection in conjunction with the book’s return for another season of football, BBQ and stick-swingin’.
