Ahhh Assface, what a delightfully understated comic/tragic character. To say that I'm invested in all these wonderful and wacky characters is a bit of an understatement, too. They're all going to haunt my nightmares and will have pushed my boundaries for what is acceptable in polite company, too. Gotta love it.So yeah, we're moving out of the backstory stage and back onto the main quest, mainly, to hunt down god and make him answer for all his dastardly deeds, but first, let's get away from bein...

Garth Ennis and Steve Dillon are vile and disgusting men who should be banned from the comics industry! What did they do to so offend me, you ask? Was it the multiple depictions of incredibly graphic violence, including skull shattering gunshots and people getting their faces cut off? No, years of American television has desensitized me to that kind of stuff. Did the many drawings of naked people, orgies and various other disgusting sex acts that you can’t see outside of a third world donkey sho...

Pretty funny bit when Tulip called Jesse and Cassidy out when they were on a anti therapy rant

Believe it or not, this was the most bizarre Preacher yet. The storytelling was exceptional, as usual, but the comedic elements were turned up to eleven!In the beginning, Cassidy meets up with another vampire, something he thought would never happen. The douchebaggery oozing out of the fellow bloodsucker was off the charts. Cassidy has a hard time even believing that someone could act this way but understands where he's coming from when the only basis for vampire activity comes from the movies.T...

Dixie Fried begins with possibly the best single issue of the series. Cassidy meets another vampire for the first time. He's a mopey, pretentious Anne Rice vamp right down to the New Orleans setting. Cass quickly ascertains that the new guy is a right proper wanker and attempts to straighten the git out. The best single issue is followed by the single biggest mistake of the series when Cass declares his love to Tulip. Three times. As Tulip points out, it reeks of Melrose Place. Vol 5 is a damned...

It's a no doubter that this is foul, blasphemous and brutally violent...However, it's equally doubt free that this is powerfully evocative, brilliantly original and darkly humorous...It's 100% sans doubt that this is a kudo-worthy masterpiece of American pop literature...So please put your hands together and give it up for......PREACHER I’ve read a veritable parking lot full of comics/graphic novels and consider myself some+what of an aficionado of the genre. I’ve also read several pounds sh...

Not my favorite volume.

I've been putting off doing this review for like a week but here goes, probably just going to be a lot of pictures ngl. Anyway, it's nice to be back on track after the complete and utter pointlessness of volume 4.It's great to see more of Tulip and it's also great to see telling Jesse what's upIt's also nice to see her have a night out with a friend, although once again it brings me back to the old 'exactly how self-aware IS Ennis' question that, if I could find a solid answer to, would allow me...

This is my least favorite so far in the series. It was mostly filler. Although, Arseface does get somewhat of a resolution. Tulip also expands more as a character. I liked her even more in this volume!My biggest complaint is that all of the females are different variations of each other in how they are drawn, essentially. I really noticed it in this volume, with a handful of female characters looking far too much alike. I kept having to double check to see what character it was supposed to be.Re...

What to say...what to say...Well it keeps on moving right along, picking up after our interlude in Vol. 4 with the excellent Saint of Killers story.But first we have the best story of the Volume, with Cassidy: Blood and Whiskey. Cassidy is in New Orleans and runs into another vampire, only this one turns out to be a tosser, a wanker, a pompous twat. Worst part is, he's got a cult of gothic morons following him and worshipping. Cassidy ends up taking the guy out (in a fantastic crucifixion on the...

I loved this series as a teenager, although I didn’t start reading it until it was close to the end of its run. My father often took me to the comic store as a kid, but I was until a certain age only allowed to browse through old issues of DC and Marvel titles, the ones originally priced, as indicated on their covers, at 35 or 40 cents, and kept in protective coverings in a separate part of the store from the new releases; my parents justified this to me at the time with the sophistry that new c...

This is a 3* as in good, rather than a fuck-you 3*I bought this for myself as a Christmas present and I've enjoyed reading it. The artwork is good, the characterisation and dialogue excellent, the story ... not bad. It's significantly better than #4 which nearly turned me away from the series. It does not however (for me) have the brilliance of the first two books. Book one really grabbed hold of me, it was fresh, exciting, unpredictable, I didn't know what I had hold of and I liked it. This epi...

Dixie Fried feels a little bit like filler. It opens with an entertaining story of Cassidy finding another vampire in New Orleans--as well as a group of immortal-wannabes. This sets up the action for the present-day when Jesse, Tulip and Cassidy visit the city. The stop-over leads to a voodoo trance, flying bullets, uncomfortable revelations, a beheading, and a meeting with none other than Arseface. Since I'm not crazy about the route Ennis is taking with Cassidy, I was somewhat dissappointed in...

This is a collection that focuses on Cassidy. It contains a flashback of him living in New Orleans and finding another vampire. This flashback will tie in to the events that are happening in the present. Also, Cassidy makes a declaration that could affect the triumvirate of friends forever.There was a couple of reasons that this collection was not my favorite. I did like the beginning with the flashback of Cassidy. It was a nice way to show Cassidy is not like vampires we see all thru various wo...

If you hadn't worked it out by now, these pages of graphic violence, ultra filthy language, decadence, many over-the-top and-then-some characters, a heavenly power Genesis, angels, demons, God and more might not actually be what Preacher is about! This volume gets down to focusing hard on the i inter-dynamics of the three protagonist as they seek to get answers about Genesis in New Orleans. A thought provoking and intriguing book on so many levels, ranging from the nature of truth and whether pe...

the stars of this volume in my opinion are Tulip and Cassidy its 50/50 reallyi enjoyed it so much i also enjoyed The special issue about Cassidy and eccarious and les enfants du sang after the new truth that we learned about The saint of killers i wonder what will happen now he will switch teams thats for sure but we still didnt learn God's whereabouts i couldnt help but feel that this volume felt somehow slow for me ofc i am not in a the mood for reading rightnow but its still was too slow and

Reverend Jesse Custer, Tulip, and Cassidy venture down to New Orleans to seek help from a voodoo priest. Jesse wants to access the supernatural power within him in an attempt to find God and make him pay for turning the world into a bloody mess. It just so happened to slip Cassidy’s mind that a den of vampires want revenge on him for what the Irishman did to their master several years ago. Graphic violence is the name of the game for these characters and anybody would be lucky to make it out of

The story of the Preacher goes on and it’s as good as ever. I keep fearing that when I pick up the next installment, it will stop being good. After all how can Ennis carry on and keep it as awesome as how it started. But somehow they manage to do just that. I really enjoyed Cassidy’s backstory and flashbacks to his encounter with another vampire and his “crew”. That part was pretty great. Arseface was…awkwardly weird, as usual but smirk worthy, to say the least. What an odd character to begin wi...

Dixie Fried felt like a large yet necessary filler chapter om Preacher. It sets the playground for the next arc of the story, which is to find God by letting Genesis overtake Jesse Custer's consciousness. The whole Cass vs. Les Enfants subplot is more like a channel for some some violent and bloody action.I absolutely do not dig the love triangle subplot though. Tulip, Jesse and Cass are so awesome together that painting a malicious issue between them really hurts the way I see them. I hope this...
