 Amazon.com: Preacher Vol. 6: War in the Sun: Books: Garth Ennis   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-06)
One of the best Preacher stories wirtten by Garth Ennis, showcasing his dark humor(which was superb here in War in the Sun), his bizzare characters and plots, and his ability to write a compelling story.
To add some Southern spice, Ennis throws in some wonderfully off-kilter characters in the mix: a failed wannabe astronaut with a rather substantial chip on his shoulder, a creepy hillbilly trio living in an abandoned mineshaft with particularly disturbing culinary tastes (and possible knowledge of Jimmy Hoffa's disappearance).
Ennis' storytelling is great as always, although some of Dillon's art seems to get a bit scratchy towards the end of the book, War in the Sun is still a great read.
