Preacher, Volume 6: War in the Sun

1999Garth Ennis

2.8/5

I really loved book 1 in the Preacher series and found that ever since then my enjoyment of each successive graphic novel has been declining, to the point where I stopped thinking of them as a good investment of £13.99. Graphic novels are expensive things - £13.99 is a lot for something I can read in a day. A book typically occupies my reading time for a month.Still, I was in Forbidden Planet and it had been a long time since I bought volume 5 ... and I caved.#6 is actually the first step up in the series, for me at least. It was better than the few that preceded it, though not as good as the first couple. Perhaps I'm just becoming used to the rather silly vibe that the introduction of Herr Starr and the Grail organisation ushered in.Anyway ... this was more of the same really, more Herr Starr sexual 'deviance', more Saint of Killers excesses (he goes mano a tanko), more Jesse-Tulip-(Irish vampire whose name escapes me ... looked it up: Cassidy) love triangling, more Arse-Face. I enjoyed it. Two of the main characters lose body parts which I guess could be a sign that we're on the home straight now ... it's all fun and games til somebody loses an eye. I think I will hang in there and see how it all ends. Will they find God? What will he have to say for himself?I feel I got £14.50's worth of entertainment from my £13.99.If you have a moment, give the TV serial a go. It's great fun.
