the end.......BANG!, Jan 31 2004
the cool lines,the action,the gore,the blasphemy,the eye patch and the (suggested for mature readers)tag on the back of this book,makes it simply, irresistable. this is the conclusion,here you'll learn what will happen,to the runaway zeus like god,his cowboy angel of death,the antichrist lookalike crusader,the irish vampire and the eyepached preacher's quest for vengeance. and not forgeting arseface.all in a hell of a twister cult story if you are a church goer -or a mosque goer in my case-and marilyn manson doesn't offend you,but makes you laugh sometimes,then buy this book. if he does offend you ,you better look away. some reader complain about the ending ,well ,as arseface said "WUHL..BUGUHZ CUHND BUH CHUZUHZ!"

Well..., Jun 19 2003
A slightly contrived conclusion to an otherwise (with the exception of 'Dixie Fried') first-rate series. If you've got this far you're going to buy it anyway regardless, and I recommend you do, but I couldn't help feeling a little ripped-off. I grew to dislike Jesse Custer somewhat after his abhorrent actions near the end of 'Salvation', and by this book I couldn't care less whether the mongrel lived or died. Asides from that, this volume contains more of the solid writing sharp dialogue we've come to love, and the art is top notch as always.

The awesome finale for one of the best comics of the 90's, May 17 2003
For five and a half years it has led up to this. Jesse Custer's confrontation with God is coming full circle, as is the fates of all the characters who have gone through more character development in that aforementioned span than some comic characters go through in a decade. All the oddly written characters we have grown to love and hate like Jesse, Tulip, Cassidy, Herr Starr, The Saint of Killers, and Arseface meet their respective fates in big ways; ranging from Starr seeking his revenge on Jesse, to Jesse's showdown with Cassidy, to The Saint of Killers' war on heaven, and everything in between. By the end of Alamo, long time readers of the series will feel satisfied of most of the outcomes, and even though it is sad to see the Preacher series come to an end, it is good to know that the series didn't re-hash itself every twenty four issues and kept the storyline on one true track during the entire run. Let it also be noted that Preacher creators; writer Garth Ennis and artist Steve Dillon, stayed on for the entire Preacher run. That in itself is an accomplishment in the comic industry as they brought readers some of the most unforgettable characters and one of the most engrossing sagas in the modern comic age. Rumor has it (straight out of Wizard Magazine) that a Preacher re-launch is in the works, but time will tell. I also strongly suggest Ennis and Dillon's Punisher TPB for Marvel Comics; even if you've never had an interest in that character you should read the re-invention of him by the Preacher duo, it is pure genius.
