5.0 out of 5 stars It keeps getting better and better., May 11 2004
By Andrea (Toronto, ON) - See all my reviews
How can you not love a collection that begins with an older vampire corrupting a younger one who is basically a "wannabe" and has learned everything he knows about being a vampire from Mary Shelly?

As with the previous books, new colorful characters are encountered on the mission. Faces from previous editions return, too, when you weren't expecting them too. Beware.

I've enjoyed this series since the start but each one gets better and better.

3.0 out of 5 stars Well..., Jun 16 2003
By "writing_static" (Melbourne, AU) - See all my reviews
Good art (as always) but mediocre plotting (note: "plotting", not "writing". The writing is excellent) make this the least essential of the Preacher books. It's entertaining enough, I suppose, but feels soulless. Happily, you're not buying an issue a month, so you should wince your way through this storyline as quick as you can and then rush out and pick up the excellent 'War In The Sun'. Continue your enjoyment from there, and forget 'Dixie Fried' ever happened.

3.0 out of 5 stars Fried but not Stirred, May 31 2003
By Hassan Galadari (Boston, MA USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
After the last chapter of the Preacher series, this one comes back to where Jesse, Tulip and Cass were left off in Chapter 3. Ennis is taking his time bringing back the premise of the characters after their trip to Paris. His style is laid back, down to earth and not as shocking as his previous work.

The story starts off with Cass and Jesse in NYC getting ready to meet Tulip. After a rundown of the things that happened to them previously in Paris, Tulip shows that she's never to be underestimated under any circumstance. For that part, I think that would have been the most memorable thing in the whole book The gang head to New Orleans, when they come upon a hellbent Arseface that wants to kill them all. Good thing he decides otherwise and actually joins the group to become a sensational singer. This goes to show you that not only is Ennis is sick, he is the pure essence of evil when it comes in creating pitiful characters that you just love to make fun of. Another thing that makes this guy pure unadulterated king of BAD (sorry Michael Jackson), is the fact that he creates a love triangle between Tulip, Cass and Jesse. I, for one, want to see what the heck will happen in that department.

Dillon is back. Can't say he's back with a vengeance since his style really is adamant in not changing at all. His work is a sight for sore eyes to tell you the truth, since he was AWOL during the last chapter. He carries the book as usually gracefully.

Not a bad book, but not a good one either. I don't know if it's lack of creative idea or direction, but Ennis and Dillon should pick themselves up pretty quickly if they want to keep their readers interested in their characters. Preacher was original when it first came out. Let's just hope that the characters and story remain that way till the end of the series.
