Summary: Better than sex...almost
Comment: I'm not sure if Garth Ennis is actually human. I think he may be some genetic mutant grown in a giant tube in a lab, given the wit of a thousand british writers and the talent of a million more. If you think I'm crazy, read War In The Sun. It stands as one THE greatest graphic story I've ever read, and one of THE greatest works of fiction I've ever read. And I'm not talking about the way Ennis throws around words, he dosen't TRY all that hard to be brilliant. He just is. But enough ranting let's get down to the story. If you haven't read the other preacher books then this might make for a good jumping in point. The Rev. Jesse Custer goes to Arizona with his girlfriend Tulip and his best friend Cass, to embark upon the most ground breaking series of events in the series. You'll see things you won't believe. Things that will make you cry and a couple things that will probabley make you want to puke. There's blood, sex, fire, brimstone, the works. I'm being vauge with this review because I don't want to give anything away. Read this. Now. And I'm out.

Summary: Excellent! Garth Ennis is back!
Comment: Ennis and Dillon did it again. And it's about time.
After 2 and a half dissapointing TPBs, we finally get back on track with War in the Sun. We start out with the Herr Starr special, which was extremely well done. If only we'd been given this info earlier in the series, maybe some of Starr's motivations actully would've made sense. Arrgh!
There's a little bit of set up and character development here, but not much. We basically dive right into the big climax, where Jesse, Tulip and Cassidy take on Herr Starr, The Saint of Killers, and a whole buncha tanks! And all of their lives are changed forever!
The resolution to this climax takes up the second half of the book, and is one of the best story resolutions a comic has ever had. What happened to Herr Starr? Where's Jesse? What about Cassidy? Tulip? Nearly all of your questions are answered by the end.
In conclusion, this is easily one of the best TPBs of the series.

Summary: Brilliant, possibly the best in the series
Comment: Garth Ennis and Steve Dillon have created another masterpiece with this sixth collected installment of the Preacher series. The beginning is the one shot back story called "One Man's War" and delves into the past of Herr Star as we learn his secrets and his unyielding motivation to get the job done. This explains quite a bit about Herr Star's intentions and you can almost sympathize with him. From that point on we catch up with Jesse, Tulip, and Cassidey as they wind up in the desert along with Herr Star and the entire army thrown into the mix, and the Saint of Killers not far behind. This is undoubtadly the most action packed of the series and contains all of the blood curdling violence and very dark humor that the series is famous for. Ennis' storytelling is great as always, although some of Dillon's art seems to get a bit scratchy towards the end of the book, War in the Sun is still a great read. All in all, this is possibly the best in the Preacher series, and next to Until the End of the World, is my favorite of the series.
