A review by adamz24
Preacher, Volume 3: Proud Americans, by Garth Ennis
3.0
The Crusaders arc makes up the bulk of this collection, and it's fine. God has one absolutely hysterically funny panel, wherein He's an even bigger prick than in his previous appearance.
The other three issues are better. The first has more background on Jesse's dad, and the last two detail Cassidy's becoming a vampire and his immigration to the US, with emphasis on his relationship to NYC. These issues are lyrical and pretty at times, and that's almost always what gets me about Preacher, is how really human and even elegiac it can be despite the constant barrage of absurdly OTT violence and sex and foul language and blasphemy and all that good stuff.
