I love it! ( )

I'd have to agree with one of the responses in the letters page that Ennis is never as revolutionary as he seems to imagine himself. Cursing is really an art, and while Ennis is a proficient user, he's really not masterful enough to make it beautiful. He's had to study it with some care and made an admirable transition from Irish to Southern U.S. (which may not seem a drastic change in volume, but is a world apart in vernacular).

After reading Morrison's Invisibles, it is a sweet blessing to find someone with a mind for coherent storytelling. Even his flashbacks and cuts seem reasonable and driven. Then again, there is a smidge more action in Preacher, and a lot fewer unrelated tangents. ( )

Though the storyline is fascinating, the writing seems very unpolished. The dialogue is especially stilted. Overall, the characters make it worth continuing on to the next collection in the series, which I hope to do shortly. Perhaps the writing will improve as the plot develops. I think I'm just spoiled after having read so much Gaiman and Alan Moore over the years. This is a far cry from From Hell or The Sandman, after all. ( )

This series converted me to graphic novels - (make sure you read them in order)

Violent, sexy, painfully funny and very addictive. This series starts off well with Gone To Texas and just gets better and better with the progression of plot and character.

Well written, very well drawn, and an interesting take on the topics of religion and faith. ( )
