What do god, violence, vampires and John Wayne have in common? If you said The American Dream, you're right. If you said Preacher, you're also right.Garth Ennis and Steve Dillon lead the reader on a wild ride through an upside down universe where there really is no god in heaven in the 75 issue National Comic Award winning American epic, Preacher.
Ennis' hyper-violent pseudo-religious-western plays out elegantly against Dillon's soft, but sufficiently detailed pencils. In fact, the unreality of Dillon's somewhat cartoonish characters often serves to enhance the intensity of the violence -- the blank expressions and simple explosions that accompany gunshot wounds or the water cooler spout that ultimately serves as Herr Starr's catheter are two examples that seem to stick out. Needless to say, with Ennis' endless cast of quirky characters and calls for obscene violence -- this is one partnership that works out nicely.
