In this continuing saga of the bizarre life of a faithless Texas preacher, Jesse Custer heads to the south to confront the extremely dysfunctional family that abused him as a child and planted the original seeds of his disillusionment with the world. Now merged with a half angelic, half demonic being, the former preacher looks to exact revenge against those who simultaneously raised and destroyed him. Then after exorcising his personal demons, Jesse, his girlfriend Tulip, and their friend Cassidy, the Irish vampire, head west to a party of Babylonian proportions.

April 22, 2005: Incredible!!! Comics just aint for kids anymore. Not by a long shot. This, the second book of the series, is my personal favorite, but the entire story is like takin a trip through hell and somehow coming back with clean knickers. Want that thousand-yard-stare that comes with a lifetime of hardships? Just read the Preacher and take a couple of notes from Jesse Custer.

January 21, 2000: This is definately one of the best. Everything about this rocks! The stories are well thought out and witty. The grotesque and the perverted shine to their potentials and forces the reader to step into the abject world of chaos and hypocrisy. I love the stern storytelling. It makes the word 'comic book' trancend into a whole new dimension. Granted this will offend many. That is the whole gist of Garth Ennis' style. Shock, outrage, and laughter are all embedded into this masterpiece of a work.
