Product Description

Product Description

It's the third coming of the Reverend Jesse Custer, the outrageously irreverent creation of Garth Ennis and Steve Dillon. Custer's a man with a mission to find God, but this time it's personal. Cassidy, Custer's Irish vampire friend, is a captive of the all-powerful organisation known as The Grail, and he's not having a good time of it. Cue Custer, who is not only entering a trap, but also has the added danger of the lethal Saints of Killers closing in! Plus the story of Cassidy's vampire origins comes full circle in this shocking and sharply observed slice of modern Americana. Preacher: Proud Americans contains extreme violence, sexual situations and bad language.

5.0 out of 5 stars Ouch., 10 Mar 2001
By A Customer
Preacher - It rocks all the remaining taboos in our society. This book is sick, and should be banned immediately. The very notion of the Grail, lead by the grotesque AllFarther D'Aronique, inbreeding the descendants of Christ for two millenia, and the horrendous depiction of the new messiah are heresy and blasphemy of the highest order. If ever there was a good argument for the burning of books, this piece of depraved filth is it. I loved every page of it. Comics don't get any better than Preacher, and Preacher don't get any better than this. More Please - 5 stars isn't enough. All that and I didn't mention Frankie the Eunoch - it's characters like him that Ennis does best. Pure genius from cover to cover.

4.0 out of 5 stars Clearification of the Grail, 9 Jul 2001
By A Customer
This book (volume 3, which collects #18-26) picks up the tale right where the last issue in "Untill the end of the World" left us, with Jesse going on his way to rescue Cassidy from the Grail. Before the actual rescue operation begins we first get a little intermission-window-tale (#18) where Jesse meets a man at the airport who tells him a story about the time when he used to know Jesse's father in Vietnam. Not really an important factor for the rest of the story, but plenty entertaining. After that (#19-24) the search for Cassidy is on and you get to read a tale that makes the intentions of both the Grail as Starr a lot clearer (which was indeed a little neccesary). Starr however is expecting Jesse and waiting to ambush him, and the Saint of Killers is also on his trail again. Starr himself isn't having an easy time either since the allfather of the Grail comes checking up on him, a sign he thinks that they suspect something about his little scheme. With that we get to meet "the greatest treasure of the Grail" (who isn't exactly how you expect him to, to say the least) and Jesse meets a creature who learns him more about the Genesis entity. This is really a very good part of the story and, I dare say, the most important part of the TPB for those who are following the main story. Off course it's also filled with humorous little sub-plots you would never have thought of yourself in a million years, like we're growing used to from Ennis it seems. Finally the last part of the book (#25,26) handles the origin of Cassidy. It shows how and when exactly Cassidy became what he is now, how he learned to live with it, and how come he's in America now (being an Irish bloke). This little part falls a bit out of line in the Preacher saga sometimes (makes you think of Heartland, for those who've read it) when Garth makes clear how he feels about Ireland.

Like I said, a lot more about the Grail and their goals becomes clear now which really comes to the good of the series. It gets really clear what each player is in it for and what they hope to achieve. The bizar humor stays at the good level it's been for a while now, keeping the series a laugh-riot along the way of the great story. Dillons art is as good as before, clear and expressive without taking the attention of the story too much. A worthy successor after "Gone to Texas" and "Untill the end of the World"

5.0 out of 5 stars Preacher the man, 1 Jul 2004
I believe this is one of the best graphic novels about in this day and age. The story of Jesse and his amazing abilty for a cross between good and evil outstands me. I do believe the writers and artists deserve a pat on the back and a drop of the old bourbon. The charcters are well detailed and very well put forward.

I first started to read the novels out of my public library and always eargly awaited the next one to pop up. When it did i thought i was in heaven so to speak

I hope this will continue as well as the marvel comics did and if you like your graphic novels hot and gory this is the one for you. BUT, you have to read from the beginning to truly understand Jesse's well being and how he came about.

As my old mate Jesse Custer would say.

"Until the end of the world"

4.0 out of 5 stars Houmoruos and exciting. Love, death and a lot of violence!
This book starts with a story from Vietnam. It is about Jesse Custer`s father and this story gets really nasty, like in the other "Preacher" books. Read more
