Summary of this Book...
In this second installment of the Preacher series, titled "Until the End of the World," Reverend Jesse Custer's history is revealed. You meet Custer's demented, sadistic family (and you'll wish you hadn't) and find out what makes Jesse who he is.

Captured by his family, Jesse finds himself trapped with Tulip, perhaps near the end of both their lives. He relates the story of his parents and his family, also telling how he became a preacher.
This type of Book is good for...
fans of the Preacher series, obviously, will enjoy this second graphic novel, follow-up to "Gone to Texas." The appeal of the Preacher story is that many can relate to it, and many will be offended by it. That's not to say the writers go out of their way to offend, however. Actually many who are offended by the material are also among the most loyal fans to the series.
I especially liked...
I love the way this series (and this book in particular) makes me feel strong emotions. I'm not only connected to and invested in the characters, but I feel strong emotions toward them. I love certain characters, and strongly hate others. This isn't just a story you read, but one you feel involved in while experiencing it.
When I finished reading this Book I wanted to...
When finishing "Until the End of the World," I find myself drawn to the next in the series, "Proud Americans." I've read through the entire series several times, and once started, I can't stop until I've finished reading the series all the way through. One leads into the next so easily and effortlessly.
The author of this Book...
Garth Ennis wrote the series, assisted by Steve Dillon's artwork. The writing and artwork styles flow together incredibly well to present the fantastical yet realistic world of Preacher.
I recommend this Book because...
There are so many styles, genres, and topics approached in the entire series, and this book, "Until the End of the World," is one of my favorites. It tackles family, honor, duty, and even God Himself makes an appearance. Although many may be offended at some of the subject matter, language, sex, and thematic elements, most can see beyond any offensive material to the heart of the story and its important messages.
Further Comments...
If the Preacher series were a film, an NC-17 rating would certainly be applied to it at the very least. It would probably also come with many warnings to those easily offended. For most, there will be something to be offended by here, but there is also at least one thing to which each reader can relate. The Preacher series goes beyond labels or genres, involving a bit of comedy, wester, horror, supernatural, religous and more. It's worth a look!
