This is a book with a powerful international organization trying to cover up the truth of Jesus Christ’s secret history that was written years before The Da Vinci Code. But instead of one albino monk, there’s a crazed German trying to stage manage his own apocalypse, a pair of self-styled ’sexual investigators’, hedonists having an orgy that a porn star would run screaming from, and an evil old grandmother from hell. Dan Brown is a wuss. Jesse Custer is continuing his quest to find God and hold

In Until The End of the World, we learn a great deal more about the past of both Jesse and Tulip. Both are placed in a position where escape seems unlikely, therefore, what better time to unburden their past to one another? Ennis also gives a little more of an explanation to why Jesse is so desired by a secret religious organization and Cassidy jumps back into the story, playing a bigger role this time around.Until The End of the World is a spectacular follow up to what we're presented with the

I finished this a few days ago was kind of depressed didn't feel like writing a review still down but i am listening to some songs and absorbing energy from them to finish all my reviews lets agoi think i will do another character introduction for the new characters i don't want to spoil the series so much with my reviews1. Marie L'Angell (Jesse's Grandmother)This old whore is the best evil character i have seen in this series so far she is just absolute pure evilshe is all about preserving the

5.0 stars. Garth Ennis is a brilliant writer and all of his talents are on display here. Original, intelligent, vulgar, bloody and oh so much fun!!!

This is absolutely entertaining from start to finish! I love the characters. No matter how silly, evil, crazy or seemingly bland they are, Ennis still manages to inject humor (oftentimes very offensive ones) into them. Volume two is a collection of two arcs from this highly-acclaimed graphic novel series. The first one gives a backstory to Reverend Custer while the second one gives us a glimpse of a super-secret society that has set all its eyes in finding the Reverend. As what I have said above...

“We work for the most powerful organization ever to exist. We own presidents. We run countries. We walk between the raindrops.”This has really picked up the pace in the second volume, great action, nice locations, delightful new characters and a slick moving story line. I think one of the crucial factors with the story so far is that the writers have done a great job of perfecting a lovely balance, avoiding almost all of the potential pitfalls that can ruin most stories like this, they haven’t i...

More extremely dark comedy from Garth Ennis and co. The first part of this volume takes Preacher back to the place where he grew up and reveals his origin story that makes Batman's look like an episode of Sesame Street! The second half sees the introduction of new parties interested in Preacher's power; Cassidy looking to avenge the death of a friend; a pair of British sex investigators, one of whom has a penchant for buggery, yes I said buggery; a super rich, and near insanely decadent party gi...

Is it wrong to be totally fangirling over such depraved and bloody storytelling? Probably. But fuck it. I'm not going to apologize. PREACHER is like nothing else I've ever read or seen, crossing boundaries of decency and good taste while at the same time offering up compelling characters and kickass world building. This volume brings together two very different storylines each with its own sense of brutality and redemption. The first half is the revelation of Jesse Custer's twisted and blood soa...

Not sure about the rest of the world, but down here, if a friend is acting funny, but maybe a little too weird, or maybe getting a little too politically incorrect, we may use the term “you ain’t right”.After reading Preacher book two, Until the End of the World, I must say, Garth Ennis – YOU AIN’T RIGHT!I mean, God help me, I liked it, but …Details matter, little details can make or break a story and might just make it fun as hell: case in point, the scene where Custer and Cassidy are comparing...

Hello Grandma!A little of Jessie's childhood has come back to haunt him and a good little spanking, too. I love getting more of Tulip's history, too, but it's not quite up to levels I want just yet. Hit-Girl, eh? Just fine. :) But grandma the bible-thumper? Wow, what a nightmare she is.Good thing we can put that thing in the coffin, now. What I really liked most about this volume was the guest appearance of god. :) He sounded so scared... or was that really him? Who knows!?! Well... maybe me bec...

One might think that, having escaped the clutches of the family from hell (metaphorically) in Angelville (literally), Jesse (AKA Preacher) and Tulip would be happily nesting somewhere yonder, unless, of course, you've been paying attention to what actually goes on in these books, in which case you'd be well-aware that there's always more bedlam at hand. Jesse and Tulip have been hitting the sheets (and any other surface they can find) in a hotel in San Francisco where we meet up with our favorit...

This issue was so much better than Volume 1. Things were a lot clearer and I'm getting used to the art too. I love how dark this volume got. The volume was split into two different storylines. The first story introduced us to some characters from Jessie's past and it gave us some backstory, answering questions like why is Jesse a preacher? What was his life before we met him in Volume 1? How did he meet Tulip? Why did he leave her? etc. I really enjoyed the first half of this volume. I didn't en...

So, here we are, this is the second book of the series, another great chapter. It is divided in two parts. In the first we know the story about Jesse, his family, his first meeting with Tulip and his terrible childhood. There are a lot of characters here: Jody, a cold psychopath, Jesse's grandma, a horrible old woman that enforces its will through terror and violence and T. C. a crazy man with only one goal, F#CK everything is alive.This part is shocking, there is not much supernatural, except f...

It's hard for me to judge each volume of Preacher because I always think of the entire series as one long narrative, and each volume doesn't seem to be a book of its own, if that makes any sense. Anyway, this volume introduces Herr Starr and his cronies who seem to be quite popular lately due to the TV series. If this series was by anyone but Garth Ennis it would be considered gratuitous and too over the top, but somehow he manages to pull it off. The artwork by Steve Dillon just gets better the...

In my review of the first volume, I compared it to Kevin Smith's Dogma. Funny, then, that he wrote the introduction to the second volume. Perhaps this was an inspiration for him.As for this volume, I loved the family revenge story in the first half. In addition to Dogma and Jonah Hex, which seem to color the overall series, it has a Deliverance feel to it. The second half, with the Jesus de Sade plot-line, was a little weaker, but overall, still awesome.

2.5 stars by averaging the two major arcs, and I usually round up, but this left a bad taste in my mouth.The first story with Angelville was the kind of pulptastic awesome I expected when I read the first book. Depraved and terrible and over the top and awesome. Four stars for fun, definitely.The middle section was cool, particularly because Cass showed up, and yay Cass!The last story in the loosely tied-together arc though, with the Grail folk and what have you... lots of overexplaining, lots o...

This collection continues the story of Jesse, Tulip, and Cassidy and their search for God. This collection is divided into two story arcs. In the first story arc we get to see Jesse's childhood and why he left Tulip the first time around. The second story deals with the gang dealing with the death of Cassidy's girlfriend.I thought the first collection was better than this one but this one is still very enjoyable. Word of caution: this comic is not for young children. I think we are introduced to...

Rich storytelling abounds here - a textbook Ennis origin story, giving us a helluva reason or three to like and respect Jesse Custer. Plus freaks and evil doings to go along with it. Seems like Ennis has a playbook and keeps coming back to it like an addict, or a compulsive:- flawed man lecturing his girlfriend- lots of war stories- the super-arc about struggles against the accepted authority- decadent orgies- 'deviant' sexual acts- generous violence- women who don't pass the Bechdel testPreache...

Not trying to be politically correct but its hard not to notice this:I hate how they portray afro-american people as incompetent. As seen in the case of John Tool and this special agent named Hoover. Sure, some of the characters here are incompetent, not only Tool and Hoover, but I hate that when an afro-american person emerges he is just conveniently incompetent for the purposes of the story. But then again Im only a third of the way through the story though, so we’ll see.But the main villain o...

The level of fucked up just rose tenfold
