Preacher, Volume 3: Proud Americans by Garth Ennis
5.0
This volume was broken into three very separate parts -- the first was a flashback to Jesse's father's time in Vietnam, the second was a continuation of The Grail plot, and the third was a flashback to Cassidy's past.
The two flashbacks were great, helping to give depth to the main characters and flesh out their motivations, but the real highlight was the middle part -- Jesse rescuing Cassidy from The Grail. Just when I thought this series couldn't get any more violent/absurd/awesome, it went and topped itself.
My only complaint about this volume was that the paper it was printed on wasn't glossy, unlike the first two volumes. It was pulpy, and didn't give the art the same pop the earlier volumes had.
