Summary: PREACHER RULES!!!!
Comment: What can you say about Preacher that hasn't already been said, this series has had more praise heaped on it than any other comic book that I have read. And deservedly so I say. Proud Americans, the third Graphic Novel in Garth Ennis' world conquering Preacher series, starts with the superb tale "Texas and the spaceman", a shockingly tue-to-life tale about Jesse's fathers days as a marine in Vietnam. As a majorly huge fan of Vietnam films like Platoon, Full Metal Jacket, Apocalypse Now and The Deerhunter, I have an exceptionally high standard when it comes to stories about vietnam. Knowing that this was Preacher and Garth Ennis was writing it I knew it would be brilliant, but would it be realistic?! Due to the fact that Ennis is Irish and would have been nowhere near Vietnam, I was apprehensive about how true to the tragic war it could be, I knew Dillons artwork would be top-notch so no worries their. I was AMAZED by what I saw, this was a unique moment in Preacher history, a story that could rely on characters we hardly knew and still make us emotionally involved with them. I almost felt sad when I read this tragic story, especially the gruesome scene where Gonny was splattered all over Tex and Space's faces. The other two tales concerned the Grail kidnapping Cass, The Saint of Killers kicking butt, and the tale of Cass' past. Both these stories were excellent, perversed and funny with stunning artwork by the great Steve Dillon. Both great tales but not quite as stunning, realistic or moving as Texas and the Spaceman. Well done Garth you've done it again!

Summary: Different from the Previous Work
Comment: The third installment of this collected series about a Preacher mixed up with the divine, his hit(wo)man girlfriend, Tulip and their vampire friend, Cassidy is not as good as the previous two chapters.
The story divided into three parts. The first part is a flashback story about Custer's dad. A well told poignant story that finally speaks out wha the heck of a relationship it was with John Wayne.
The second has Custer following the path of his kidnapped friend Cassidy who was taken hostage in the last book. From all the stories, this one is the best told, though not as strong as the previous chapters in the previous books. Some light is shed on what is the being that is sharing Custer's body and why the beings in Heaven and Hell are just scared to confront him.
The last story is an origin retelling of the vampire, Cassidy. More questions stem out of this story than those attempted to be answered.
I have to admit the books was not as good as the previous installments. Ennis has toned down the content and the humor of the storyline. Dillon, however, just seems to move on like a locomotive, complteley and utterly unstoppable. The work here is comparable to the work Ennis has worked on the Punisher. The problem with this book is that you can't not read it. Some important aspects of the characters are showcased.
A wonderful read, just don't expect to much. The guys were taking a break and so should you.

Garth Ennis as most of you who are into recent and 90's comic books know is an author who can shock you , make you laugh, inspire debates, provide social commentary and in general makes you have one hell of a time. Buy it before it goes out of print as very few copies of this book have not been sold and are in near mint condition.
