Best Comic Book Ever!,
By Madelyn Pryor "Goblyn Queen" (Mesa, AZ United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Cassidy (Paperback)
Time and time again I reread Cassidy: Blood and Whiskey, and it's easily one of my favorite comic books ever. Why? Well, it stars Cassidy, an Irish vampire who would rather have a pint of beer instead of a pint of blood. He's also one of those characters that says exactly what the reader would like to say in the same situation. Some of his one liners are great for use with friends (and enemies). In this adventure Cassidy goes to New Orleans and meets another vampire, who thinks that Anne Rice is the authority on how all vampires should act. This other vampire, Eccarius, is going to be condemned to eternal life as a boring, self righteous jerk unless Cassidy can set him strait. With deliciously powerful scripting by Garth Ennis; flowing, delicious art by Steve Dillion; and a gut wrenching twist ending every Preacher or Ennis fan should have this book. By the way, look for a cameo by fan favorite Neil Gaiman as "Roger" a Goth follower of Eccarius. NOTE: With nudity, extreme bad language, various other sins, this book is not for the young or easily offended.

Reprinted in Dixie Fried,
By James Moar - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Cassidy (Paperback)
A few years before the events of "Gone to Texas", Cassidy meets a vampire with a slightly different attitude to undeath. A fun little romp, foreshadowing later events in the Preacher books. It's reprinted in its entirety in "Dixie Fried".

Interesting prelude to the Preacher saga,
By N. Durham "Big Evil" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Cassidy (Paperback)
A one shot featuring Preacher regular Cassidey, Blood & Whiskey is a precursor to the events in the opening Preacher storyline Gone to Texas. When the hard drinking Irish vampire Cassidey goes to New Orleans, he meets another vampire named Eccarius who lives his immortal life exactly as a vampire would in an Anne Rice novel. Cassidey tries to help him out from "being such a wanker", but not all goes according to plan. Ennis' story is hilarious and blood curdling at the same time; something he became known for with the Preacher comics, while Steve Dillon's art is superb as always. The events in this story would play an important part later on in the Preacher series as Cassidey's character became more developed, and you can find this story re-pritned in the Preacher: Dixie Fried TPB.
