Preacher 2: Until the End of the World

I enjoyed this volume a lot more than the first. The story was crazy. It laid out the back stories of both Jesse and Tulip. You find out how they met and all about Jesse's horrific family. The characters in his family were quite scary. The grandmother was far and away the ugliest/creepiest character I have seen in a comic so far. I thought she sort of looked like the Other Mother in Coraline towards the end of the movie. I found myself sympathizing more with Jesse and understanding his actions more. I was also glad that Cassidy made an appearance in this book. I liked when he changed his accent to pretend to be Cassidy. (p.) I appreciated that there was a bit less killing and bloody scenes in this volume. It made it a little easier to read, I wasn't as grossed out. My favorite picture in this volume was on page 105 right after Jesse killed T.C. I thought it does a really good job of showing Jesse's new perspective and character. Even his clothes screamed "Bad Ass." I am excited to see how the story plays out in the next volumes.
