As it progresses, there gets to be a bit more of an emotional center to the series. I really enjoyed the latest volume. Ennis is a smart guy that sometimes gets bogged down in the business of being offensive and provocative. Preacher for example, makes some played theological arguments as well as presenting some very fresh perspectives on our relationship to the divine.
