"brahn sauce"

This is what's stigmatized the brown sauce I know as an ingredient for a meal. Most southerners throughout the 20th century held it up as the source behind Empirical domination. And its gone on recently too. Twonks.

Now, i enjoyed Preacher a lot (up until the last few where it all started to get a bit repetitive) but I always thought jesse was a bit of a pain in the hole, with his black-and-white morality and hackneyed machismo. Much preferred Cassidy - bit closer to home, I suppose, but he's as much a normal, fun bloke as a bloodthirsty vampire can be.
Torturing the cat was unforgiveable on both of their behalfs though - go after the bad guys, you bastards, but don't petrify dumb animals because they annoy you. It's not like it's going to learn its lesson.
Maybe I'm just jealous of Jesse because he's tougher than me.

And the Northeners secretly wished they could afford it. It would have made the black pudding taste better.

I just completed my first full read of Preacher.  What an over-rated mess that was.  Yes, it has its moments, but Jesse and Tulip are a pale imitation of the already-irritating Sailor and Lula from Wild at Heart, stretched out excruciatingly over 9 volumes of castration jokes. The  Saint of Killers and Arseface... Cheeses wept, they were watery fare.  Clearly the whole thing is a young man's vice.

I did however enjoy Cassidy, a wonderfully immoral shite with a passably interesting tale, and some of the art was very nice (although I may have had enough Dillon to see me out).

Heh, Irish vampires, make sense.

Agreed. I had some on the weekend on my walk in the Lakes (in the North), and very spicy indeed. I don't buy it myself but, if its in with the BB I'll attempt it.

I have not and never will venture anywhere near Preacher. Overheard the guy who runs our local comic shop outlining the plot to one of his customers a while back, and my blood ran cold.

No sir. That story is not for me.

I made a concerted effort to get into Preacher a year or 2 ago. I ended up buying and reading the first 4 volumes but gave up in the end because it's just so vulgar, juvenile and desperate to shock in the most peurile way possible. As Tordelback says, there are decent moments and the art is great but it just pissed me off too much to continue reading it.

It's, to me, the best (worst) example of something that's 'INTENDED FOR MATURE READERS!' which is actually more suited to the more immature, adolescent reader who'll be impressed by this over the top nonsense. I'm no prude, far from it, but, as Paul Scott and I agreed at Thought Bubble on Saturday, Preacher is basically just vulgar.

A while ago I tried reading some non- 2000 AD comics for the first time in many years.

Unfortunately, I picked Preacher and killed the project stone cold dead.

Repetitive, boring, repetitive, tedious and repetitive.

I know. Sorry about the euro, everyone. We fucked up.  

Don't mind the vulgarity of Preacher at all, and some of it was freakin' ace. (Though yeah, SERIOUSLY repetitive near the end. Every bad guy's a pervert who'll get get his cock shot off.) It's only really jesse I didn't like; though I didn't take to Tulip too much either.

I didn't really like Dante as a character at first either, but have warmed to him a lot (probably something to do with me becoming a lot more confident too; i just couldn't relate to such a cocky bastard in my younger days).

But Jesse - meh. just annoying, smug and violent.

And the Cosh is right. Nothing wrong with a bit of repetition.  I don't think there's anything wrong with repetition.  Nothing wrong with repetition at all.

Yes. Nothing wrong with a bit of repetition.
