Title: Don't believe the hype...
Product review: ...the Preacher series is graphic literature's most over-rated example. Is it good? Somewhat. But you get the impression that the creative team is making it up as they go along, and, at this stage of the game, that's not a compliment. With this volume and the Preacher off-shoot Ancient History especially, the creative team of Ennis and Dillon have lost direction and are simply keeping it going with all the blood and guts and their attempts at gross-outs - which with this volume consistently miss their mark and are at this point redundant - only because, as far as I can tell, that's what they're paid to do. Don't get me wrong. Earlier volumes of this series are good - particularly "Until the End of the World" - and the later edition "War In the Sun" is also recommended, but Ennis and Dillon should take a cue from the likes of Gaiman, Miller, and Moore and stay focused on the story they're supposed to be telling and then, once that's finished - end the series.
