This is a book with a powerful international organization trying to cover up the truth of Jesus Christ’s secret history that was written years before The Da Vinci Code. But instead of one albino monk, there’s a crazed German trying to stage manage his own apocalypse, a pair of self-styled ’sexual investigators’, hedonists having an orgy that a porn star would run screaming from, and an evil old grandmother from hell.

Dan Brown is a wuss.

This felt slightly dated compared to the first volume, though still thoroughly enjoyable. The writing is what makes this series so special and the art is no sloucher either. Plenty of violence, rather disturbing because you know that there are people in this world who have faced similar experiences as represented here, though maybe more in a realistic and truly terrifying sense.

So I've come to a certain conclusion involving the main character and I will enjoy continuing the series to see if my...more

It's funny.. While I love both this book and the volume that preceded it, I have the same problem with both. Both Gone to Texas and Until the End of the World have fantastic first halves. They start in medias res and go back to explain how things got so messed up. However, both volumes change locations halfway through the story, introduce us to a half dozen new characters and bombard us with new information before we have a chance to process it.

With Volume 2, I thought the stuff with Jesse's gra...more

The first story with Angelville was the kind of pulptastic awesome I expected when I read the first book. Depraved and terrible and over the top and awesome. Four stars for fun, definitely.

I thought that was an insanely entertaining book and kept my fingers crossed that this second volume would hold up. I dare say that it at least made par.

Jesse Custer, a preacher who now speaks the Word of God--literally--after being struck by the entity known as Genesis (an escaped offspring from a forbidden affair between an angel and a demon), is on the road with his estranged girlfriend Tulip when he runs into his past. Well, more like his past catching up with him. His family has found him and wants to claim him once again to preach the Word to the hungry masses. And when Jesse tries to use the Word on them and finds that they're the only people immune to its power, he realizes just how deep a hole he and Tulip are in.

The first volume introduced Jesse as a disillusioned man of God, who after being given such an awesome ability as to have anyone bend to his will, decides to pick a fight with God himself over being an absentee landlord. This second volume traces back his family history and gives a clear sense as to what caused him to be so disillusioned and angry. His family, ruled by his grandmother Miss Marie, is about as evil a family as you could ask for. And they've got someone in their corner who is either a very shady God or a nefarious impostor.

But the story of Jesse's family and his love for Tulip is only have the story in this weighty graphic novel. The second half has Jesse reuniting with Cassidy, the vampire with a Keith Richards attitude towards life, and an exercise in justice against a debauched millionaire responsible for the death of one of Cassidy's old girlfriends. The lurid depictions of the villains in this half are damned near comical, as Jesse and company try to wade through the perversion in order to get at the top dog.

All in all, it's like having two graphic novels in one book. That's great if you want to be thoroughly engrossed by these characters and their antics, but after the absolutely wrenching ordeals from the first half of the book, the second half did feel like it came up a little short. Although, the subject matter is given a much more comedic sentiment that maybe it's just there to help diffuse the wrenching scenes that linger from the first half.

That's about the closest thing to a complain you'll hear from me on this book, as it was just a great read all the way around and I'm eagerly anticipating the third volume, Proud Americans.(less)

I truly enjoyed the backstory and showdown involving Jesse Custer's dealings and eventual showdown with the L'Angelle clan. And I am intrigued by his interaction with the ghost of John Wayne. Is this a real ghost? A spirit guide? Or is Jesse simply fucked in the head?

Given his upbringing anything is possible.

Both are placed in a position where escape seems unlikely, therefore, what better time to unburden their past to one another? Ennis also gives a little more of an explanation to why Jesse is so desired by a secret religious organization and Cassidy jumps back into the story, playing a bigger role this time around.

The killer then turns to the bawling kid, looks down, and calls him a crybaby. This is one of the tamer passages in the book.

Volume 2 is even more insane, violent, and taboo than its predecessor, but at the same time, it expands and deepens the storyline, giving us critical, emotionally resonant backstory on the major characters and providing a surprisingly well-rounded critique of various attitudes towards faith and religion. Each of this volume's three major villains represents a different take on the subject matter. For Jesse's evil grandmother, God is a tool to terrify and break individuals, making them subservient to her will. She upholds the institutions of Religion and Family through terror. For Herr Starr, the true, submissive blind faith demanded by Jesse's grandmother is irrelevant. He openly seeks power and cynically uses other people's faith against them to advance his own agenda. Lastly, the evil, decadent Jesus De Sade openly rejects not just God and religion, but all of the morality and basic human decency that is supposed to go along with it. The Preacher series may be highly critical of blind faith and institutionalized religion, but it is equally pointed in its critique of those who transgress moral boundaries just for the sake of rebellion.

In all of this, Jesse Custer emerges as a truly original but still thoroughly classic American hero archetype. He has no use for those who seek to control others, and he holds firmly to his own deeply personal sense of right and wrong. He is an independent thinker, a born rebel, AND a humanist, and thus truly worth rooting for. Also, if you mess with him or his friends, he will seriously kick your ass.

This volume will give you a lot to think about, but it is also great populist entertainment, with endlessly quotable and hilarious dialogue, not to mention plenty of fist-fights, explosions, shootouts, car chases and all that other pulpy comic book goodness. The sense of humor will definitely be too twisted, violent, and obscene for many people, and I understand that. For those of you who can go along with it though, you will find that this series provides some great thought-provoking fun. (less)

Between the first volume of "Preacher" and this one, Garth Ennis and Steve Dillon have apparently worked out a lot of the kinks: The "southern-fried Noir/ultraviolent Neo-Western" side and the "guerilla theology meticulously de-constructing Judeo-Christian cosmology" side actually work together instead of against each other here.

One reason is that even though the story is even more all over the place, there's much more focus in how the themes are woven into the narrative structure. This basically takes the main characters established in the first volume, and moves the story forwards by confronting the demons of their past which in each their different ways tie into the comic's underlying theme. There's also more of a direction in where the story's going... what's not to love about how the conspiracy theory from "Holy Blood Holy Grail" about the bloodline of Jesus is reworked into a shadowy villainous organization right out of a James Bond movie?

The other major improvement is that more of the grimness and darkness come across as something actually earned even if it's still rather cartoonish. Not only are the characters allowed actual moments of joy and happiness amidst the horrible things happening, that miraculously don't come across as forced or sentimental. It's also clear that much of the gruesome content of the story reflects situations in the real world Garth Ennis happens to be genuinely angry at.

After all, the main themes in the story arc here are how people can commit the most monstrous acts in the name of family and religion while believing such deeds to be completely noble, and how difficult it is to break free from the resulting vicious circles of violence. Those are things that a writer who grew up in Northern Ireland when the Troubles were at their very worst must know an awful lot about. I think *that* explains why the fucked-up shit here actually feels much more honest than in the previous volume, even when it gets so grotesque it reaches "Itchy and Scratchy" levels. It feels like actual satire, and not just a crude approximation of it.

Well, for the most part. Some of the "extreme" content here still feels gratuitious or at least misguided. The best example is probably how whenever socially unacceptable sexual preferences appear they're not just usually the domain of villainous characters but also associated with moral error. It makes Garth Ennis look like he had more in common with the hectoring religious moralists he spent most of the story justly railing against, than he might have wanted to admit at the time.(less)

Appearing in the short-lived but critically-acclaimed British anthology Crisis and illustrated by McCrea, it told the story of a young, apolitical Protestant man caught up by fate in the violence of the Irish 'Troubles'.

Appearing in the short-lived but critically-acclaimed British anthology Crisis and illustrated by McCrea, it told the story of a young, apolitical Protestant man caught up by fate in the violence of the Irish 'Troubles'. It spawned a sequel, For a Few Troubles More, a broad Belfast-based comedy featuring two supporting characters from Troubled Souls, Dougie and Ivor, who would later get their own American comics series, Dicks, from Caliber in 1997, and several follow-ups from Avatar.

Another series for Crisis was True Faith, a religious satire inspired by his schooldays, this time drawn by Warren Pleece. Ennis shortly after began to write for Crisis' parent publication, 2000 AD. He quickly graduated on to the title's flagship character, Judge Dredd, taking over from original creator John Wagner for a period of several years.

Ennis' first work on an American comic came in 1991 when he took over DC Comics's horror title Hellblazer, which he wrote until 1994, and for which he currently holds the title for most issues written. Steve Dillon became the regular artist during the second half of Ennis's run.

Ennis' landmark work to date is the 66-issue epic Preacher, which he co-created with artist Steve Dillon. Running from 1995 to 2000, it was a tale of a preacher with supernatural powers, searching (literally) for God who has abandoned his creation.

While Preacher was running, Ennis began a series set in the DC universe called Hitman. Despite being lower profile than Preacher, Hitman ran for 60 issues (plus specials) from 1996 to 2001, veering wildly from violent action to humour to an examination of male friendship under fire.

Other comic projects Ennis wrote during this time period include Goddess, Bloody Mary, Unknown Soldier, and Pride & Joy, all for DC/Vertigo, as well as origin stories for The Darkness for Image Comics and Shadowman for Valiant Comics.

After the end of Hitman, Ennis was lured to Marvel Comics with the promise from Editor-in-Chief Joe Quesada that he could write The Punisher as long as he cared to. Instead of largely comical tone of these issues, he decided to make a much more serious series, re-launched under Marvel's MAX imprint.

In 2001 he briefly returned to UK comics to write the epic Helter Skelter for Judge Dredd.

Other comics Ennis has written include War Story (with various artists) for DC; The Pro for Image Comics; The Authority for Wildstorm; Just a Pilgrim for Black Bull Press, and 303, Chronicles of Wormwood (a six issue mini-series about the Antichrist), and a western comic book, Streets of Glory for Avatar Press.

In 2008 Ennis ended his five-year run on Punisher MAX to debut a new Marvel title, War Is Hell: The First Flight of the Phantom Eagle.

In June 2008, at Wizard World, Philadelphia, Ennis announced several new projects, including a metaseries of war comics called Battlefields from Dynamite made up of mini-series including Night Witches, Dear Billy and Tankies, another Chronicles of Wormwood mini-series and Crossed both at Avatar, a six-issue miniseries about Butcher (from The Boys) and a Punisher project reuniting him with artist Steve Dillon (subsequently specified to be a weekly mini-series entitled Punisher: War Zone, to be released concurrently with the film of the same name).
