Holy shit......that's just pretty much all that is going through my mind right now cause that was a hell of a ride so far. Given that the art is beautifully rugged and perfect on its own is just an added notch to this very intricate and deep story.

Given that I love the tv adaptation so far, I can honestly say that I hope....(HOPE!!) that they follow the story and give these awesome characters life in flesh and blood in the following season.

i cannot say enough good things about this series. all i have to say is it’s funny, engaging, heart warming and incredibly thought provoking. this will forever be my favorite comic book series.

“i’ll love you until the end of this world”

I'm assuming Mr. Ennis wrote this while he was in a asylum? Yea, yea I know I'm a little late to this party but usually supernatural horror isn't my thing. It IS my wife's thing so I got it "for her" as a gift, and as long as she already had it, I decided to read it (please don't compare me to Homer buying Marge a bowling ball with HIS name on it - I hate bowling).

So I'm definitely hooked but I do have to say this feels pretty dated by now. It bears the stench of the 90's. For me that's okay because I was 26 when it came out, just curious if younger kids will have a problem with it. Also I'm not really a fan of Fabry's artistic style. I get it that they wanted a kind of rough, dirty, style to complement the rough dirty happenings in the book but I tend to like the smoother, shinier comic styles or the totally painted stuff.

I'm giving it 4 stars because I loved Cassidy and the originality of the story. Also liked Officer Tool a lot and some of the dialogue was hilarious.

I'm wondering whatever happened to the sheriff's deformed son? If he comes back don't tell me. They named him Arseface so I think he's coming back for revenge.

Two warnings on this review: 1) I'm totally obsessed with Preacher and 2) this is so brutal that it won't be to many's liking. That being said, it's completely to my liking as Preacher, Jesse Custer, receives a mysterious power that people obey his word. Jesse is the kind of preacher who has a vampire as close friend as well as ex-girlfriend that he abruptly abandoned before taking up the cloth. He's also on the run and wanting some answers. This graphic novel was written in the mid-1990s so the cultural references reflect that. I think it works since I'm certainly old enough to remember the 90s (and a few decades before that). This is a great supplement to anyone watching the AMC series. Like The Walking Dead, there are differences between the series and graphic novel so both can be enjoyed and offer surprises because of the two mediums. The graphic novel is great for filling in some of the mysteries of the show if one is still puzzled.

Feels like I just binge-watched all the Preacher episodes made so far and another two seasons that haven't even come out yet, and all I did was read the first comic in the franchise. Interesting to see how wide the gap is between the TV version and the comic.

This series is wild, in the best way possible. Enjoying my time so far.

Blasphemous plot points, violence and language. Not for children by any stretch. But it asks the question, why are you a preacher? A question that we preachers ought to be able to answer.

This is a review of the whole series.

I enjoyed this work mostly for its storytelling and deeply interesting character backstories. Segments that detail the histories of main characters left me thinking for days after. They make the characters lush and multi-dimensional, without fixating on single traits and quirks.

That being said, the two things this book gets its notoriety for: its blasphemy and attitude, are actually the biggest drawbacks. Maybe in the mid-1990s this was edgy, but as of this writing these ideas and mockeries are not only common, they've become cliche.

The worst thing about this series is the machismo. There are pages worth of dialogue that seem to be an outlet for Ennis to vent about his frustrations with modern psychology. To me it basically read "we need more manly men who don't talk about their feelings!" These parts didn't add to any story, and while you could argue they might have contributed to building the characters, it only made me more annoyed with them.

Despite these drawbacks, it's a masterfully told story with some of the most memorable moments and characters the medium's ever produced. Highly recommended if you can stomach the above-mentioned flaws.

Its trashy edgelord nonsense, but its fun and I like it.
