A review by gingerliss
Preacher, Book 1 by Garth Ennis

5.0

I would definitely place Preacher at number one in my top graphic novels list. It's not for you if you can't stand any gore or much violence, as there's much of both included. It's full of action, but the action doesn't overweigh on the story line. The story and it's characters, and their backstories are all built up extremely well. It's difficult to take a break as you're pushed to read on. It's only that I don't yet have book 2 in my possession that I have managed to stop and write this review. As well as all that there's room for Ennis's great humour which is at times laugh out loud. Reading it now, as I read the first 6 issues a long time ago, it reminds me of several other pieces of literature and pop culture, while at the same time being very original. Preacher is yet to become a cult legend methinks. I look forward to carrying on, and am very interested to see the tv series it has become.
