@thecheesestabber: The art is really something. I'm glad to see Jason Latour on an ongoing series instead of just guest pencilling an issue here and there.
I voted for the Teen Titans animated version. It was my first exposure to the character. I remember thinking how scary he was, due in part to Ron Perlman of course. Did he ever remove his mask? The whole time I didn't know who or what he was. To be honest when I started picking up Teen Titans books a few years later I was a little upset to find out he was human. For that reason the Teen Titans animated version will always be my favorite.

@thecheesestabber: If you don't mind I'd like to chime in about why I like Southern Bastards. For one, it's not set in a major city. Comics almost never tell a story in a rural setting. I've spent most of my life in a small town in western Kentucky. I'm a sucker for a story about a small town with a seedy underbelly. It's what makes early David Lynch stuff like Twin Peaks and Blue Velvet so good. The villain being a high school football coach hits pretty close to home too. About 10 years ago in my hometown the football coach killed a kid and got away with it. So I know when Coach Boss gets his comeuppance, It'll vicariously give me a sense of justice. But I get what you're saying about it being dry. Not much has happened yet and I don't think this is a story with real mass appeal to begin with.
