Preacher: With Great Vengeance and Furious Anger
I've only read up to vol. 5 of Garth Ennis and Steve Dillon's series, Preacher, but i already consider it one of the better comics I have read. What makes it so cool to me is that the heros are also kind of messed up. Jesse reminds me a lot of Wolverine in the sense that he's a killer but he's got morals. Cassidy is the same, but he needs to kill to live.For some reason I read the first two volumes thinking that Cassidy was british. I suppose I should pay better attention. Tulip is a really interesting character as well. I couldn't believe when she got her face shot off. It was also cool how they brought her back. My favorite character is the Saint of Killers for obvious reasons. The one scene at the French monastery where he literally fills a room with bodies was an exercise in absolute bad-assery. I like how sometimes he completely disregards the gutter. I think this is a good way to make everything seem like its supposed to be a single moment. The art is good but not the best I have seen. I would say that it definitely fits the grittyness of the story. Overall I really like the Preacher series and cant wait to finish it.
