Preacher

I read a bit of this a number of years ago, then promptly forgot about the whole thing. I happened to chance upon some megauploads of the entire series, so I took the opportunity to read it through. And now, years after the series ended.... what a mess!

At first when I was reading it, I thought it was kind of interesting. That comics could be so gritty was kind of a new thing to me at the time (it was like junior high age). Reading through it now, though, I felt like it was less interesting and just more weird. Someone in #comics made the statement that Preacher was about how screwed up Ennis could make the series instead of anything with a good plot, and I guess I'm inclined to agree.

Up til the showdown at Angelville, I was following along pretty well. But come the Grail, the deeper investigations behind Cassidy, and ARSEFACE, it was just getting plain messed up. I enjoyed it quite a bit more when Ennis was trying to be funny (thankfully Starr never stopped being a joke, although it came at the expense of the plot making any sense).

Anyway, I guess I'm rambling. What do the rest of you folks think about Preacher?

Jam it back in, in the dark.

So basically this series is wildly overrated and unpopular, as I suspected.

THANKS GFF

There's nowhere I can't reach.

My favorite one was when

he's at that Midwestern Native American military ground and he tells a group of them to "Fuck off". As the group is running away, one of them turns to another and goes "F-forever?"

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
