No recent wiki edits to this page. Jesse Custer's dark journey to find God continues as he becomes the sheriff of a troubled Texas town. Then, Custer decides it's high time to renew his quest to find God and hold Him accountable for his actions. Preacher 5 - Book Five by uncas on February 22, Saying this is better than book four is somewhat akin to saying "throwing up at home is better than throwing up at work": this is better than book four. Instead of dealing with his expectations, assumptions, and observations from the end of book four, Jesse Custer decides to run away and hide and blame other people for his problems. But remember, it's all still God's fault. I suppose there is some good news in his abnegation of responsibilities especially to Tulip , in that he reunites with som This edit will also create new pages on Comic Vine for:. From the ashes of a small-town church to the bright lights of New York City to the backwoods of Louisiana, Jesse Custer cuts a righteous path across the soul of America in his quest for the divine--an effort that will be met by every evil that Heaven and Earth can assemble. Joined by his gun-toting girlfriend, Tulip, and the hard-drinking Irish vampire, Cassidy, Jesse will stop at nothing to fulfill his quest to find God.

While there are some jokes at his expense, for the most part, Ennis treats Arseface with more respect than one would think. He even gets one of the happiest endings in the book and it's just really nice and heartwarming. Steve Dillon's art is easily some of the best art in any Vertigo ever but one place where it doesn't work very well is when the book deals with angels and demons. Dillon was great at doing over the top violence, emotional storytelling, and just about anything else the book needed but his angels and demons are very pedestrian. The designs for them are very stereotypical and it's the only blemish on some pretty impeccable art. They don't look bad, there's just nothing very special about them and it's weird that a guy who cut his teeth on would design such run of the mill supernatural beings. Cassidy rounds out the central cast and he's a very complicated character, one whose deficiencies are revealed as the book goes on. At first, the century-old Irish vampire feels like exactly the type of person that anyone would want as a friend, someone who is always there for their friends, and fun to be around. However, as time goes on, readers learn more and more about him and see the real person behind the shades and he's someone completely different than we imagined. Ennis deals out the revelations in spurts and it works wonderfully. So, it's one thing for Jesse to be a sexist idiot and constantly try to keep Tulip out of the fight even though she's more dangerous than he is. However, Ennis uses doing bad things to Tulip as a source of drama way too much in the book. While all the characters get put through the wringer at one point or another, Tulip gets it the worst. What makes it so egregious is that Tulip is easily one of the strongest characters in the book, but Ennis keeps playing into the women in refrigerators trope. It was disappointing back then and it's even worse now. Preacher has a lot to say about religion and its role in people's lives. For a lot of readers in the '90s, it was their first exposure to the theory that Jesus survived his crucifixion and married Mary Magdalene. It was also a love letter to Americana and a meditation on the psyche of the weird place called America. Preacher: The First Mountain Man Series in Order by William W. Johnstone - FictionDB

Specifications Number of Pages: Description In this now-legendary graphic novel series that serves as the inspiration for the hit AMC television series, Jesse Custer was just a small-town preacher in Texas Now possessed by Genesis--the unholy coupling of an angel and demon--Jesse holds Word of God, an ability to command anyone or anything with a mere utterance. I liked finally seeing Custer make a big difference in a little town I'm interested to see what other work of his I'd be into. Something went wrong. Please try againSorry, we failed to record your vote. You're basically getting a trade for free everytime you buy one of these new "Book" editions and they have fantastic paper quality that improves over the original TPs. And while it didn't have as much gunslinging action as some of the prior volumes certain scenes in Volume 4 stand out in memory it had some very sharp writing from Ennis. I have always found the scene in Scarface, where Tony has just killed Carlo and he goes into Elvira's bedroom, wakes her softly from sleep and tells her to come with him is the most romantic moment in a movie ever. Instead of dealing with his expectations, assumptions, and observations from the end of book four, Jesse Custer decides to run away and hide and blame other people for his problems. Pretty much this is when I enjoy this story the most, when Texas becomes the main landmark, as I adore the primitive ranch-violence setting that worked magnificently in the first book. Lots of good stuff happening in this one. It starts out with Cassidy blowing down the highway, when suddenly sirens are behind him and he's about to get pulled over. He yells out to the cops who have pulled up beside him: "Hey! Cas Just gets better and better. Cassidy is in this one a lot. He finally meets another vampire after three quarters of a century, and he's a wanker. He calls himself Eccarius and feeds his ego by participating in blood rituals with a group of humans who call themselves Les Enfants du Sang. They are pasty humans who cut themselves and drink each others blood, mimicking the vampire lifestyle. They show up a couple times in this volume. We also get the return of Arseface. Starr shows up, has declared himself the new Allfather, and is still out to get Custer. Custer is somehow supposed to save the world. Who knew Starr would ever be the one to provide the comic relief? I liked her more by the end of this one than I did before. Overall, definitely one of my favorites. Garth Ennis and Steve Dillon are vile and disgusting men who should be banned from the comics industry! What did they do to so offend me, you ask? Was it the multiple depictions of incredibly graphic violence, including skull shattering gunshots and people getting their faces cut off? No, years of American television has desensitized me to that kind of stuff. Was it the constant profanity in the dialogue? It was that damn snake. Not just any snake, but a big honking anaconda draped over our hero, Jesse Custer, as he was in a voodoo trance in a graveyard. What kind of sick bastards would come up with the idea to add a giant snake into their comic? I can handle the murder and mayhem and a disfigured guy whose face looks like an ass, but snakes? Anyhow, Jesse, Tulip and Cassidy are picking up their quest to find God and kick his miserable ass for running out on humanity. But then they do that voodoo ritual and Jesse gets a big snake wrapped around him, and …. View all 11 comments.

They're all going to haunt my nightmares and will have pushed my boundaries for what is acceptable in polite company, too. Gotta love it. So yeah, we're moving out of the backstory stage and back onto the main quest, mainly, to hunt down god and make him answer for all his dastardly deeds, but first, let's get away from being a man of god, screw psychoanalysis, and go find some shrooms and dance with indians You know.

I've been putting off doing this review for like a week but here goes, probably just going to be a lot of pictures ngl. Anyway, it's nice to be back on track after the complete and utter pointlessness of volume 4. It's great to see more of Tulip and it's also great to see telling Jesse what's up It's also nice to see her have a night out with a friend, although once again it brings me back to the old 'exactly how self-aware IS Ennis' question that, if I could find a solid answer to, would allow me I've been putting off doing this review for like a week but here goes, probably just going to be a lot of pictures ngl.

Also this. You're not fooling anyone, Cassidy. Overall a really enjoyable volume, and I even enjoyed the special issue that was included in this volume [unlike the ENTIRE previous volume] Really the only bad thing about this volume is that it starts the horrible fucking love triangle that is easily the worst part of the entire series. Feb 21, Jim C rated it it was ok. This is a collection that focuses on Cassidy. It contains a flashback of him living in New Orleans and finding another vampire. This flashback will tie in to the events that are happening in the present. Also, Cassidy makes a declaration that could affect the triumvirate of friends forever. There was a couple of reasons that this collection was not my favorite. I did like the beginning with the flashback of Cassidy. It was a nice way to show Cassidy is not like vampires we see all thru various wo This is a collection that focuses on Cassidy. It was a nice way to show Cassidy is not like vampires we see all thru various works and that he is his own vampire. He doesn't exactly adhere to the rules. After his flashback story and when we get to the present this collection did nothing for me. I have read that some reviews believe this to be filler. I view it as more set up and I believe that things are about to hit the fan. I believe this series works best when they are satirical and this collection went away with that as it concentrated on set up. I also did not like the artwork which was a change because I have enjoyed the artwork for this series. The problem was some characters looked too similar to other characters. I don't know if this was intentional but it did get confusing. Every story needs peaks and valleys in the action to keep the story going. This was a valley as there wasn't much to it. I am curious where they are taking a character even though I am not a fan of this development. Not the best collection but I am still enjoying this series. Dec 29, Mike rated it it was amazing Shelves: the-south , thes. The story follows a Texas preacher, Jesse Custer, whose mind is invaded by an entity that is half angel and half demon I hate when that happens, personally ; the entity informs him that god has abandoned his responsibilities in heaven and now walks the earth. I have no idea how far ahead he and Dillon were, but I do remember that the monthly issue was never late I also remember there were certain comics at the time that got a lot of hype but would routinely be months late; people eventually lost interest ; nevertheless, some of the early issues of the series seem improvisational. This collection is where the series started to hit its stride, in my opinion. The next story, collected as War in the Sun , in which Herr Starr detonates a nuclear bomb in Monument Valley I never claimed the story was plausible , is also great. It also moves beyond the, well, comic-book violence of many of the earlier installments, and focuses instead on one specific act of violence, and all of its horrible ramifications. Ennis was always confident enough in his sense of story to digress freely about whatever he wanted. This is also the collection in which Jesse relates to Cassidy, while they walk around the French Quarter, having wandered into a bar where the late comedian Bill Hicks happened to be performing; and they just talk about Bill Hicks for about five pages. Years after I read this I lived and worked in New Orleans, post-Katrina; but most of the downtown area was undamaged, and I could still remember the images from this comic. View 2 comments.

My absolute favourite story, maybe in the whole series, is Cassidy in New Orleans meeting an Anne Rice vampire - and his goth hangers-on. Ennis conjures up the emo heartfelt tortured immortal as well as any of those deadly serious books ever did, and then kicks them straight in the balls exactly as it should be. I read a couple of those Anne Rice turds as a young man, but even then I wasn't able to stom Resurgence of the Great Hunt For God, with a whole bag full of rich side quests along the way. I read a couple of those Anne Rice turds as a young man, but even then I wasn't able to stomach any more, and I was never sure - until I first read Preacher - if that was some kind of moral failing of mine. Cassidy's disgust and dry sarcasm are the perfect balm for that scuff on my soul. His moral outrage is even better near the end. Makes a man proud to have Irish roots, I tell ya. Arseface and Herr Starr both after Custer. You'd almost think they'd done something right to warrant this kind of hatred. And there's some uncomfortable stuff in here, stress between Tulip and Cassidy - the kind of shit if you were hearing it firsthand, and if you're anything like me, you'd be sitting there dumbfounded, no idea what to say to break the tension, no idea how to escape so you're not assaulted all day by the brutality of all the emotional turmoil. I don't begrudge it being in here - it's a pretty common occurrence in life, and makes for some rich, nuanced characters - but holy good god it's probably more tense than some of the "who's going to die next" subplots we endure in long-running books like this. I think I'd rather a poetic or pathetic end than this slow, agonizing drag through a field of broken glass. Dixie Fried feels a little bit like filler. It opens with an entertaining story of Cassidy finding another vampire in New Orleans--as well as a group of immortal-wannabes. This sets up the action for the present-day when Jesse, Tulip and Cassidy visit the city. The stop-over leads to a voodoo trance, flying bullets, uncomfortable revelations, a beheading, and a meeting with none other than Arseface. Since I'm not crazy about the route Ennis is taking with Cassidy, I was somewhat dissappointed in Dixie Fried feels a little bit like filler. Since I'm not crazy about the route Ennis is taking with Cassidy, I was somewhat dissappointed in this installment. Still, it was nice to see a resolution for Arseface and to learn more about the entity sharing soul-space with the Preacher. Back to the normal gory mayhem in the next book! Jun 17, Jedi JC Daquis rated it liked it. Dixie Fried felt like a large yet necessary filler chapter om Preacher. It sets the playground for the next arc of the story, which is to find God by letting Genesis overtake Jesse Custer's consciousness. The whole Cass vs. Les Enfants subplot is more like a channel for some some violent and bloody action. I absolutely do not dig the love triangle subplot though. Tulip, Jesse and Cass are so awesome together that painting a malicious issue between them really hurts the way I see them. I hope this Dixie Fried felt like a large yet necessary filler chapter om Preacher. I hope this goes to something relevant and good. Arseface was a bit of a chore to read. He is funny as ever yet he works best in small doses. Going full Arseface is not the way to go. Volume 5 may not be as good as the other Preacher volumes but it is blasphemously entertaining and funny to read. Nov 02, Jesse A rated it liked it Shelves: library-it-up , graphic-novels.

What to say Well it keeps on moving right along, picking up after our interlude in Vol. But first we have the best story of the Volume, with Cassidy: Blood and Whiskey. Cassidy is in New Orleans and runs into another vampire, only this one turns out to be a tosser, a wanker, a pompous twat. Worst part is, he's got a cult of gothic morons following him and worshipping. Cassidy ends up taking the guy out in a fantastic crucifixion on the What to say Cassidy ends up taking the guy out in a fantastic crucifixion on the church roof with the sunlight because of his preying on the stupid goth kids. This exists to show us that Cassidy is a good man when push comes to shove Throw in Tulip kicking ass, Jesse getting into a Voodoo trance, and Arseface hitting the big time, and you've got the idea. I hope that's it for Arseface, as he's a waste of time now, no need for comic relief thanks.
