Superheros Reconisdered:Preacher 1-7

Starting with the cover i thought the illustration was awesome. showed how dark and disturbing the comic is and i just enjoyed the coloring of it.  I noticed that all the people in the comic had long faces and most had long features as well.  The illustrations were awesome i never got bored reading this comic because the illustrations lead me through the writing of it.

The story is about how the preacher tells us the story of Jesse Custer who is a preacher in a town Annville in Texas.  He was by accident possessed by Genesis which killed his entire congregation and flattened his church... He seems like he is battling his faith with God and so is he is on an adventure of trying to find Him, God. 

This preacher is definetely not right with himself or God, i mean he was in a place looked like a dinner and told people out loud what their secrets were since he is the one that hears it all the time, which is completely wrong, and some of those secrets were cracked out.  And he smokes cigareets and drinks where he does say things like that out loud, which portrays him as a dark and disturbed preacher.  Even the dim lighting of each panel gives off that way. 


Some of the story lines were gory which i thought were cool.  When the girl decides to blow away this guys mouth while he was in the car with two other people was just awesome.  The coloring of the panels were sick because they were cold illustrations with the use of blues and greens, and then when she shot the gun, and the outside of the car was orange and yellow and reds and inside the car was blues and greens still.  I just think that the artist really depicts what is going on with the choosing of his colors.
