Great ending! I loved this series! I'm a little sad to see it end. :'( ( )

I started this journey just under 6 years ago, read all the extras, and watched the show (which I didn't like at first, but then grew to love). These last 2 graphic novels (which I read in the past month) were great, after it seemed to lag a bit before that. The whole idea of the preacher is just so unique and then add in the unique characters and complete over-the-top craziness of just about everything involved and it really couldn't help but be a classic. I expect it will be around for a long time, even if just as a "curiosity", for future ages to look at and wonder WTF was exactly going on in the 90's. ( )

This was excellent, dark, full of twists and unexpected surprises, with the reintroduction of some figures from the past. The denouement was a teensy bit lame and Hollywood but ultimately I guess this is a love story. Actually, I would've ended this story 15 pages from where it did end and it would've been nearly perfect. ( )

What an ending this this fantastic series! We are given the finale of every major character to walk the pages of Preacher, and for the most part they all receive happy endings. Jesse is the one how most would be concerned about, since his quest for God is nothing if not dangerous, so I'm happy to report that it all ends up well for him. Maybe a little drama with Tulip, but such is life when you're a guy and your woman has a personality! With a little help from Cass (who made a deal with God to render Jesse unconscious long enough that God could deal with the Genesis creature) Jesse managed to trick God into returning to Heaven, where the Saint of Killers was waiting for him. The Saint might be the only one of the "good guys" who doesn't get quite what he wanted, because after he takes out God he winds up on the throne of Heaven himself. At least this way humanity has a fitting deity who won't abandon them, because he has a man's sense of responsibility and duty. ( )

Glouriously crude, violent, and blasphemous, Preacher remains one of the most moralistic and thought provoking series in comics. This concluding volume brings all the plotlines together for a fitting climax at The Alamo that serves as a perfect resolution to the series. ( )

It ends here.
Quotations
We don't gotta just accept the way things are. Just like we don't gotta let ourselves be lessened by death or any other damn thing. Just like we don't need no God to shape the world for us. We can make our lives the way we want them--or we ain't worth nothing. Now take my hand an' I swear I'll love you 'til the goddamn stars go out.
