Even though the series strays into some ridiculous and outlandish situations, I can't help but adore it. What brings the story back to Earth are the characters, who (while they may be on a ridiculous quest for the Almighty) still retain their human foibles. Case and point: the relationship drama steps up a notch when Cassidy confesses his unndying love for Tulip, leaving her disgusted and mistrustful of his motives for befriending Jess (her one true love). Apparently Cass has done similar things to his previous best friends, so I'm betting that he's going to have to work through these issues at some point in the series. ( )

After watching the show, it's a different experience reading the Preacher. I loved the show and I think it's making me like the comics more than I did. There are definitely moments of "did I already read this one?" when the books and the show overlap, but it's cool to see how they did it differently. ( )

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 being a man of god, screw psychoanalysis, and go find some shrooms and dance with indians... um... no? Okay, screw that too, let's get VOODOO on this here head-shrinkery. :)

Oh, yeah, and Cassidy's past comes to bite him in the ass. You know. New Orleans. Bunch of wankers, there. :) ( )

This is the best book of the series so far. It had all the characters I've grown to like, the hunor I've come to expect, and the gore that's needed for this bizarre story.

I'm uncertain if I can trust Cassidy at this point, but I still admire his friendship with Custer. I'm not clear what he's trying to prove with Tulip, but I'll wait to see how the series plays out. This is great fun to read. I'm really glad all the books came into my possession so unexpectedly. :) ( )

This volume of Preacher involves: Jesse Custer being handcuffed to a bed and left alone as punishment, the Vengeance of Arseface, Voodoo Priests, a curse on Cassidy, and some rather emo kids who wish to become vampires. What else do you expect of Preacher?

Three stars for this installment as it felt a bit rushed. There is a distinct feeling of a build-up to something great, but whatever it is, it hasn't happened yet. I'm excited for it, and very interested in where they're taking Cassidy's character. The philosophical question of God is also quite interesting, even if Bill Hicks was the comparison there used.

I'm not giving up on Preacher, I'm just a wee bit annoyed at how this volume seemed to reflect more Ennis'opinion than that of Custer and friends. ( )
