A good conclusion
I couldn't wait to get my hands on this last chapter! I'm one of those who missed out on this during it's intial run, and have to say this is one of the most entertaining storylines ever. This is a story for adults told about adults, and that is one thing which has set it well apart from others. While I have enjoyed the other graphic novels leading up to this one, some have wandered around while putting in the required background. This was much tighter and led to a very satisfying conclusion.
a great ending for the best comic ever written
Preacher does things to the reader that few other comics can do--like Miller's work in Batman, Moore's The Watchman, the first couple of years of the Darkness, Sandman, Fables, Sin City,and most of Wolverine's story--and this is a fantastic finale. I'll not say anything about it. You have to read it.
Storyline is wearing thin at this point...
While I read this entire series when it was originally published, I had a chance to reflect on the work when looking at a friend's TPD collection, and I realized that this series went on too long. By the time the reader gets to vol 9 (of what should have been at 6 or 7 volume series) it's too much. All Ennis is looking to do is inject shock value elements to this story, which was wonderful in it's first three or four years.
Sure, get this volume to get to the end of the story, but don't expect the excellence that was there before.
