What's up with Preacher?
Alan just finished Preacher, by Garth Ennis and Steve Dillon, and said what we were all thinking... "I wish I could keep reading." Yeah, if only it were a Hellblazer-esque ongoing. I felt the same way about Transmetropolitan, even though that probably has less potential for eternal ongoing-ness.
But yes, Preacher is just so good it hurts. Read it.
I wish I could produce a better review right now, but it's been awhile since I read the whole thing, and I only own the first two (thanks to Alan). But suffice it to say that despite a lull in the middle the story, characters, and art are all pretty incredible. The way the Jesse/Cassidy relationship develops is heartbreaking and infuriating at the same time. And the Jesse/Tulip story is one of the most in the gutters depictions of true, pure, romantic love you can imagine. It's true love, and it's dirty and hard as all hell.
ps- I'm running out of room on my DC shelf. If I buy any more preacher the whole series has to get moved. Especially to make room for my eventual purchase of New Frontiers. Stupid DC, sometimes you really fucking suck.
