5.0 out of 5 stars One eye and one ear down..., 10 May 2004
By Zagnorch (Terra, Sol System) - See all my reviews
This volume of the PREACHER saga is where the REAL fun begins for me! In the second half of this book, creators Garth Ennis & Steve Dillon intro my fave character: Herr Starr, the head enforcer of the world's most powerful covert organization! I consider him the most interesting and colorful 'heavy' ever to hit the four-color medium! His no-nonsense attitude and blunt & acerbic words as he tries to track down Reverend Custer make for some of the funniest moments in comics! His penchant for unbelievable misfortune also begins here: in this volume he loses an ear in a firefight at a high-society orgy, and involuntarily experiences the- um, joy- of the love that dare not speak its name for the first time! The loss of one's body parts & dignity doesn't get much weirder (or funnier) than this!

But, let's not forget the first half of this illustrated tome, where we get an inside look at the Rev's past, from his being raised by a ruthless and sadistic 'family' to his eventual breakout from this nighmarish clan. Then there's the capture of the Irish vampire Cassidy by Starr & his mercs, which sets up the events chronicled in the next volume of the PREACHER TPB series. Yep, it's kinda like 'The Empire Strikes Back' of comics: a really compelling and wonderful adventure that alla sudden leaves you hangin'! But, unlike 'Empire', it has lots more naughty language, gory ultraviolence, naughty bits, and substance abuse. And it's not based in outer space, or 'a long time ago'. And the main hero's a bit tougher than that teenaged blond kid from that desert planet. Come to think of it, there really aren't that many similarities 'Preacher Vol 2' and ESB, are there...?

Anyway, time for me to fall back to Earth. If you've already read the first PREACHER TPB (if ya haven't, it's available at www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/1852867132/qid=1084205556/sr=1-1/ref=sr_1_2_1/026-1744450-1571658) and you feel like continuing the adventure, then I'm pretty sure you won't be disappointed with this installment. It's got everything you've come to expect from the previous book, and then some!

2.0 out of 5 stars Preacher Vol 2, 14 May 2009
By Brian Lelas "laerfan" (Dublin, Ireland) - See all my reviews
This second volume in the "Preacher" collection was a fairly big let down for me. I'd come fresh from the joys of the first volume and expected the same quality as before.

The wonderful artwork and pacing of story is clearly as well defined here as it was before, and is a consistent joy to behold when reading the work of Ennis and Dillon, but I found the story in this second volume quite lacking. The plot surrounding Jesse's Grandma, though inventive at times, is lacking any real sense of danger. The backstory regarding his mother and father is an insightful look into the character we know and love from the first volume, but clichéd to the point of ridiculousness. It's easy to love the over-the-top nature of "Preacher" but the conclusion to the first half of this part is ludicrous to the point of making fun of itself.

It's clear that the ommision of Cass was a major failing point for this half of the volume. The predicable nature of the plot throughout this section is made all the more stale by the lack of his exceptional wit and sense of humour. When he makes his way back into the story in the second half, the entertainment value jumps considerably, quite instantly.

But the second half of the story is even less appealing to me. The character of Jésus DeSade is one of those cleverly crafted hedonists. He's a character you really would love to punch in the face, and some of his lines are such obvious attempts at absurd shock tactics that once again the story feels like it's only there to make crude sexual references without any plot to back them up.

The introduction of Herr Starr is this volume's saving grace. His introduction is slow and steady, but he quickly becomes a dominating figure in the story and leaves the ending of this volume as a high point, leaving you wanting more. It's just a shame that it took so long to get the quality back up.

As a big fan of the first volume, I found this one to be a big disappointment, but I persevered with it and it's quite worth it for the last section and for the wealth of treasures ahead in the next volume. It's a low point for the series, but it's still "Preacher" at the end of the day.
