Tracy Lawless is the main character for this one. I think it's his return to the series but I've read them out of order and I'm easily confused. It doesn't matter with these books though because they each can be read individually. (Yay! that helps old broads with shit for brains)
Lawless is ex-military...

This fourth volume of Black Science has blown the first three out of the water.

| Author | Ed Brubaker |
| ISBN | 0785132279 |
Just when I thought Ed Brubaker’s Criminal comic series couldn’t get any better, he sets a story back in the ‘70s that had me humming the Shaft theme song while I was reading it.
The main story revolves around a black boxer and his white gangster friend. The two grew up together because their...

In the immortal words of the celebrated thespian, Keanu Reeves . . .
"Woah"
This series continues to impress with volume two. It is the perfect mix of historical fiction and sci-fi horror. It is suspenseful. It is funny. It is gruesome. A little part of me really wishes the exploration...
Southern Bastards, Vol. 2: Gridiron
The second Southern Bastards arc, Gridiron, is told mostly in flashback. The main story is more or less frozen while we’re told the secret origins of the villain of the series, Coach Boss, instead of what happened after Earl Tubbs mumblemumble...

Prophet, Volume 2: Brothers
| Author | Brandon Graham |
| ISBN | 1607067498 |
While Prophet, Volume 2: Brothers retains the forms of its predecessor volume, it does not retain its substance.
