Product Description
Product Description
The wildest, most outrageously irreverent road-trip rolls on, as The Reverend Jesse Custer's quest takes him and his companions to New Orleans. The Big Easy. The man with the voice that must be obeyed is in town for a little voodoo magic, a head-trip he hopes will unlock the secrets of Genesis. But the course of Custer's search for an errant God rarely runs smoothly, especially when Cassidy has neglected to tell him about the last time he was in New Orleans...Mayhem, magic, murder and a very big snake...prime ingredients in another serving of Preacher gumbo. Warning: Adults Only!

I first started reading preacher in Judge Dredd megazine, when i realised i was on;ly buying it for preacher i decided it was time to buy the books.
Dixie fried is yet another excellent installment of the preacher series. As with most of the preacher books, it keeps you hanging on with twists, action and excellent artwork.
be prepared to see characters in a whole new light and see Jesse Custer confront genesis to find out the truth about the saint of killers.
all round, an excellent buy.
Format:Paperback
The art, the humour, the characterisation, the dialogue - there is simply nothing not to like about Preacher.
If you're not familiar with the story, go buy Gone To Texas (Preacher Vol 1) and begin reading one of the best comic book series ever made, if you've been following till here...
Our heroes arrive in New Orleans, where an old friend of Cassidy's -- who just happens to be a voodoo priest -- may be able to help Jesse unlock the secrets locked deep within Genesis. Unfortunately, a dark aspect of Cassidy's past threatens to interfere with lethal consequences.
A masterful installment of a masterful series.

In all honesty I must firstly say that this isn't exactly the best Preacher TPB of the series. The story takes itself a teensy bit TOO serious here, with TOO much pointless graphic violence, and the bizar humor is also on low-profile for the time being (which is not a good thing here). Cassidy has some good oneliners but that's pretty much it for the humorous bit in this trade. The first two issues in here are about Jesse having to face Tulip again after what he did to her in France (see "Proud Americans" for that). Tulip handles it in her own manner and then wents out to get a drink in the bar, where she gets to hear a disturbing confession from Cassidy. After that she meets an old friend and the rest of these issues is filled with them talking and reflecting on their lives and relationships these last couple of years. In the rest of the issues (#29-33) Jesse thinks of (and tries) a way to try and get in contact with the Genesis entity in his head (an idea he had because of what the angel in the previous volume said). When he goes to meet the person who can possibly help him with this it turns out that Cassidy and this person have a (negative) history together, and if that isn't enough there's also a group of wannabe vampires called 'Les enfants du sang' who know Cassidy from the past and need him to do something for them now (a past that is cleared up in the Preacher Special "Cassidy: Blood & Whiskey" which is also collected in this trade). One of the positive notes that I need to share here is the return of Arseface in this trade. His goal is to avenge his father but he turns out to have another carreer-perspective ahead of him (a hysterically funny one I might add), which DOES really come to the good of the mood in this trade. Also, the included Preacher Special about Cassidy is also good reading. Not that important for the general story, but very nice. In here the humor IS at level.
The story in this TPB seems nothing more than a filler, which wouldn't even need to have been so bad if the humor had been at level. But that, like I said, isn't really the case. Overall pointless violence has the upper hand without the sub-plot adding anything to Jesse's quest. Now I don't wanna make it sound like it's an awful book because it IS pretty nice reading, but for Preacher standards I consider this one of the lesser volumes.

Personally, I like the pseudo-vampire wannabies in this volume, (Especially Lilly) as well as the Cassidy backstory. Read more
