Preacher - Book Five by Garth Ennis
5.0

I think this was my favorite volume. Which might be odd because I can see people thinking this is the worst.

So we have our hero finally starting up a new life. He finds a new little city, becomes the sheriff, and does what he does best. Put everyone who needs a lesson in their place. It's both hysterical who he fights and tragic and sad in the end results of what happens to certain characters. I really loved this arc because it brings a 'rebirth' in a sense for our Preacher.

After that we finally got the history of Tulip, and learn all about her past. It's both sweet and tragic, and made me feel bad for the character, but proud of what she became. This is one of my favorite female heroes in a long time.

On the flip side the second portion is all following a theme of second chances. Of turning a new leaf and fixing things. It's truly amazing to watch certain characters completely changing and fixing their life. I really loved some of the stories, made me laugh like crazy, and the final issue is nearly perfect. All about trying what feels right one more time and hoping for the best.

Plus the ending gets you pumped for the final volume/book. This is it guys, we're almost at the end, and after all that reflecting we finally get to the end. Let's hope for the best.
