Preacher #59

The final arc of Garth Ennis and Steve Dillon's acclaimed Vertigo series begins here, with Glenn Fabry's cover painting making an immediate impression — a close-up portrait of a hard-faced man wearing an eye patch dominates the image, the historic facade of the Alamo rendered beneath him against a deep blue night sky. "Alamo Part 1 of 7" signals that this 2000 series is building toward its conclusion, and the weight of that feels palpable in every brushstroke of Fabry's painted cover. If you've been following Jesse Custer's long, strange journey, this is exactly where you want to be.
