Hello you guys and gals ! How are all of you doing? I'm doing pretty good . I had a fun day out with my kiddo . We did some shopping for a trip and got lunch . It was a fun day.
Now, I want to do some writing for my blog . Which by the way I'm sorry it's taking me longer to get reviews up but, that's because I got a job recently. However, I'm using the money to do things I want to do with my life so there is that. Preacher is one of my favorite comics so hopefully this will be a good review for you guys. With all that being said let's get to this review!
Title: Preacher Book Two: Proud American's
Author: Garth Ennis
Artist: Steve Dillon
Genre: Graphic Novel
Pages: 368
Rating: 5 stars
Synopsis: In this volume Jesse Custer, along with his girlfriend Tulip and their Irish vampire friend Cassidy, head west to a party of Babylonian proportions. Then Jesse flies to France to rescue Cassidy from the clutches of religious fanatics. His search leads him into a no-holds-barred battle against the forces of a mysterious organization known as The Grail.
My thoughts on the book: Ok so this volume is where the story really starts to take off and be full blown Preacher! I love it ! It just goes crazy and it's so fun to read !
First off, you meet some very interesting characters in this volume like Herr Starr and Grandma. Herr Starr is one of the Grail's main leaders and is very hilarious in his own way and also very strange. We also find out some of Jesse Custer's past and that's where we meet his Grandma . I guess you could say that she is a fanatic and maybe even almost like a cult leader.
The story in this volume gets really outlandish because for one you start to learn more about Genesis. You get to meet Genesis's dad and learn how it came to be . We go to heaven for that part of the story. There is also Angelville which is in Louisianan and something Jesse has to face as part of his story. Then the Grail comes in and takes Cassidy hostage and holds him as a prisoner in France.
You learn a lot about why The Grail want possession of Jesse Custer. I am not going to spoil that part but, it's for a pretty interesting reason. I would say what the reason is but, it's a pretty huge part of the story so I will just let readers find out why for themselves.
At the end of the volume, you learn some of Cassidy's backstory . It's actually pretty well written. You get to see his war story and how he got turned into a vampire. Then you see how he came to America and you follow him and some friends through a couple of decades. In my opinion it's a pretty good story!
I love this story and this is one of my favorite volumes! It's very excellently written and it sucks you in. The artwork by Steve Dillon is also beautiful as usual ! For those reasons I am giving this volume 5 stars! Love it ! It's amazing ! I would recommend it to anybody who has a wicked sense of humor and doesn't offend easily!
That's it for this reading update ! My next review will be for We Have Always Lived In The Castle by Shirley Jackson. I'm looking forward to starting that one ! If you have read Preacher please leave your thoughts in the comments so we can discuss it! Also, if you happen to like my content please give my blog a follow ! That's it for now I will talk to you all again soon . I hope you all have a good evening.
