Product Details

Product Description

From Amazon.com

The Reverend Jesse Custer is a Texas minister who swears worse than a sailor and is not above killing people who get in his way. One might say he's lost his faith. No, he's just looking for God, and when he finds Him... Proud Americans is another sick and fun addition to the Preacher series. This book contains three story lines: One, a short tale about Custer's father in Vietnam. Two, a recounting of the transformation of Custer's Irish buddy Cassidy into a vampire and his coming to America. And three, the conclusion to the story begun in Preacher: Until the End of the World, the story of the angelic mafia (known as the Grail) who have come after Reverend Custer and the secret power inside him called "Genesis." --Jim Pascoe

3.0 out of 5 stars good, Jun 18 2004
By The Peruvian Wunderkind (Mississauga, ON Canada) - See all my reviews
After two inspired efforts, Mr. Ennis finds himself in the unenviable position of trying to catch lightening in a bottle yet again with "Proud Americans;" capturing that delicious combination of over-the-top pathos, humour, and violence. Does he succeed? Well, not entirely, but that doesn't mean "Proud Americans" isn't deserving a respectful place on the Preacher bookshelf; it's just not that great. The book has its moments, though: a colourful, emasculated hitman (don't ask); an impossibly obese leader of the Grail; a 'chosen child' given to obsessively exclaiming, "humperdido." Ennis, by this point, knows how to create interesting characters and how to insert them in interesting scenarios. However, the book is missing a bit of the flair with which I was becoming accustomed. I think this is because of the retrospective feel of the book and that little plot is actually advanced; we have the intro story that details Jesse's father's experiences in Vietnam, and the book's latter half that comprises of Cassidy's origin. Granted, "Gone to Texas" and "Until the End of the World" were heavily retrospective, as well. However, they contained stories that, to me, were much more gripping. Honestly, Ennis' construction of Vietnam is nothing I haven't seen a thousand times before, and the Cassidy feature wasn't overly impressive. Although the part dealing with the Grail was Preacher-quality, there frankly wasn't enough of it to make this a great read.

Dillon is good as usual. Not overly flashy, but really conveys the moods Ennis is hinting at. Check his depiction of the Allfather; hilarious stuff. One small gripe: my edition (4th printing) had relatively poor quality paper, not the bright sheen of the earlier editions. This correspondingly gave the art a rather drab and muddy look. Unfortunate choice, really, since Dillon's art plays such a crucial role in the whole 'feel' of Preacher.

5.0 out of 5 stars Shocking Series!, Dec 24 2003
By "sithdarklord" (Marsa Malta) - See all my reviews
One of the most controversial comic book series ever released can be at your finger tips for just $14.95. This 232 page book is by one of the most acclaimed authors ever: Garth Ennis. Garth Ennis as most of you who are into recent and 90's comic books know is an author who can shock you , make you laugh, inspire debates, provide social commentary and in general makes you have one hell of a time. Buy it before it goes out of print as very few copies of this book have not been sold and are in near mint condition.

4.0 out of 5 stars Different from the Previous Work, April 25 2003
By Hassan Galadari (Boston, MA USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
The third installment of this collected series about a Preacher mixed up with the divine, his hit(wo)man girlfriend, Tulip and their vampire friend, Cassidy is not as good as the previous two chapters.

The story divided into three parts. The first part is a flashback story about Custer's dad. A well told poignant story that finally speaks out wha the heck of a relationship it was with John Wayne.

The second has Custer following the path of his kidnapped friend Cassidy who was taken hostage in the last book. From all the stories, this one is the best told, though not as strong as the previous chapters in the previous books. Some light is shed on what is the being that is sharing Custer's body and why the beings in Heaven and Hell are just scared to confront him.

The last story is an origin retelling of the vampire, Cassidy. More questions stem out of this story than those attempted to be answered.

I have to admit the books was not as good as the previous installments. Ennis has toned down the content and the humor of the storyline. Dillon, however, just seems to move on like a locomotive, complteley and utterly unstoppable. The work here is comparable to the work Ennis has worked on the Punisher. The problem with this book is that you can't not read it. Some important aspects of the characters are showcased.

A wonderful read, just don't expect to much. The guys were taking a break and so should you.
