For those who don't know this series it's basically Hunter S Thompson in the future. Spider Jerusalem is a ranting hack who will stop at nothing to get a story and bring down those he hates - which is everybody. Writer Warren Ellis is a literary god in my book...albeit a god with a sick mind.

Some things I remember, some I forget...
I kind of remember some things from my first reading of this - and it's the quasi-disturbing things; this, and Preacher Vol. 1: Gone To Texas were my first introduction to Vertigo graphic novels. So I remember the Angels 8 riot, and the bowel disruptor, and vaguely some of the plot.
All told, it's a good start to the series and I look forward to reading more - I have the next 4 waiting for me. ...more

I read these as single shot issues back when I was at University and I knew I had to own them forever. Spider Jerusalem is a classic character, the like of which you rarely come across in a lifetime, so I am grateful to my friend for gifting me with an interest in this story.
