In this most excellent volume of Preacher, we get the orgin stories of both Herr Starr and Arseface. (And Arseface's history is NOT the same as it is on the TV show.) We also get a bit of history about The Grail. Lastly, there are some crazy-ass cannibal rednecks. What's not to love? ( )

More profane, irreligious and downright fun adventures featuring Jesse Custer, Tulip & Cassidy. This book has volumes 34-40 bookended by some back-story specials. First up is One Man's War, the tale of how Herr Starr was recruited by the Grail and his rise to prominence within that organisation. Then it's on to the main story with the starring trio heading into Indian Country so that Jesse can commune with Genesis. But it seems like Starr knows where they're headed so lays in a little surprise a a welcoming party but things don't go as planned when the Saint of Killers is once again added to the mixture. Who's going to be left standing at the end? Two more specials close out the book with The Story of You-Know-Who filling out the past life of Arseface and a side-story featuring The Good Old Boys back in the swamps of Louisiana from before hey were dead.

If you've enjoyed the story up till this point there's no doubt you'll continue to do so here. The artwork is still perfect for the story and the colours really stand out especially when the action takes place in Monument Valley. The full page prefaces to each chapter are superb, Glenn Fabry should be commended. The image gallery at the end of the book seems to be getting smaller though with just 4 pages this time around but the inclusion of the 3 specials mean you're not short-changed. ( )
