Missy Posted November 27, 2007 Report Share Posted November 27, 2007 It seems as though they might be both. Dormammu's Wiki page calls them siblings. However, Umar's first notes them as being wed, but later it says they're brother and sister. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted November 29, 2007 Report Share Posted November 29, 2007 Preacher 4 - This was all side stories, focusing on the Saint of Killers and Arseface. The last story with the rednecks wasn't really needed at all, but the other two were definately interesting. Next - Preacher 5 and Marvel Knights Spider-man, perhaps.

tglancy Posted November 29, 2007 Report Share Posted November 29, 2007 I love that Defenders book. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted November 29, 2007 Report Share Posted November 29, 2007 DW mentioning Preacher, volume four reminded me of something. Were Cassidy: Blood & Whiskey, One Man's War and Tall in the Saddle ever collected? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stavros Posted November 29, 2007 Report Share Posted November 29, 2007 There are a great many books you should read before the Spider-man Marvel Knights series. I was not impressed by it. I love Preacher though, its a fantastic book. I'd read the first two and then got my hands on the complete rest of the series and finished it in very short order. I recent read the first Transmetropolian and really liked it, I'll definitly revisit it at some point. Spider is just crazy. I always pimp these books- Invincible (redefines superhero genre), Walking Dead (Best zombie story in any medium), Y the Last Man (apocalyptic concept where allt he men are dead but one) and a personal favorite of mine- Sleeper. Fucked up double agent with superpowers trying to determine who he is really loyal to. Sleeper has 4 trades that tie into Wildstorm but I read the whole thing through with no background knowlage and no difficulty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 1, 2007 Report Share Posted December 1, 2007 Preacher 5 - The reveal with Cassidy and Tulip just added a whole new dimension to everything. Something else I love is how great a lot of the panels are that don't have any dialouge. Just the looks that the characters have, even in the backgrounds, just little things like that are great. Might try Y: The Last Man, as we have the whole series at my work, and I was looking at it recently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted December 1, 2007 Report Share Posted December 1, 2007 The final Y: The Last Man trade will ship in February-ish, so now is a great time to read the other nine volumes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 4, 2007 Report Share Posted December 4, 2007 Preacher 6 - I'm running out of ways to say "this is awesome". I'm going to start Y after I'm done with Preacher. Next: Preacher 7 and Rising Stars 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted December 4, 2007 Report Share Posted December 4, 2007 In my mind, "Salvation" (Preacher, volume seven) felt like filler, so I'm interested in hearing your thoughts, DW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 4, 2007 Report Share Posted December 4, 2007 Hmm. It looks to me like they've filled most of the backstory for everyone at this point, so I wonder what that could entail exactly. Other than expecting to figure out how Jesse lost his eye (though I have a pretty good idea). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 4, 2007 Report Share Posted December 4, 2007 Rising Stars 1 - Fresh take on the whole "random accident causes superhero" tale. I was a bit bothered by the opening, but things really picked up from the introduction of the new Patriot name onward. Some panels confused me here and there, but I imagine it will make sense later on. Preacher 7 - I just started this, but I'm already pissed. SIX FUCKING MONTHS HAVE PASSED!?! He just walked away? Are you kidding me? And skimming forward a bit, Tulip and Cassidy are NOWHERE to be found in this book. What. The. Fuck. More complete thoughts later.

Missy Posted December 4, 2007 Report Share Posted December 4, 2007 Don't worry, Jesse's resolve to find God is rekindled by the end of book seven. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 4, 2007 Report Share Posted December 4, 2007 I'm not worried about God. I was worried about how much of a shit kicking Cassidy was going to take when Jesse got up the muster to face him. But instead he just walked away.

Missy Posted December 4, 2007 Report Share Posted December 4, 2007 They're not done yet. And what scene are you talking about? I'm drawing a blank. Was this when Jesse saw Cassidy and Tulip outside the bar? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 4, 2007 Report Share Posted December 4, 2007 Yeah, then Cassidy got a kiss from a very visibly miserable Tulip and Jesse just collapsed, ending part 6. He didn't even make an attempt to follow them? He was gone for four weeks and that suddenly turned into six months. I severely hope that missing time isn't just told all through flashbacks because 7 issues in, that method is getting rather old. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted December 4, 2007 Report Share Posted December 4, 2007 Well, I think they were long gone by the time we woke up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 4, 2007 Report Share Posted December 4, 2007 True enough, but I just hate to be left with a cliffhanger like that just so we can be taken for another detour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted December 5, 2007 Report Share Posted December 5, 2007 The one piece of good news is that I was exactly right about how Jesse lost the eye. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 5, 2007 Report Share Posted December 5, 2007 Preacher 7 - I think I'll appreciate this more once I'm through with everything. Just the cliffhanger at the end of 6 not being touched at all really irked me. Had its moments, though. Preacher 8 - I really should have taken count of how many times Tulip and Jesse fuck in this series. It's got to be in the dozens. Good set up for part 9, which I'm about to rip into and finish this series, finally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Missy Posted December 5, 2007 Report Share Posted December 5, 2007 I'm man enough to admit I cried when Jesse started crying at the end of the ninth volume. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
