** spoiler alert ** 
 This is one of the best volumes in the Preacher series. 
 It opens with Tulip's backstory. Her dad taught her to be tough, how to shoot, how to defend herself and what it is to be a good guy in this world. This story also covers how she first met Jesse and later how she got away from Cassidy. 
 There's a single issue covering Jesse's trip from Salvation to New York intent on finding Tulip. It's enjoyable for the commentary about America. Anybody who argues that this comic is jingoistic is apparently not paying attention. Several characters--mostly immigrants--speak of how this is a good country because it gives people hope and room to dream. 
 Cassidy's backstory is revisited with an old friend giving Jesse the lowdown on Cassidy. All the parts that Cassidy left out are brought to light here and Jesse is left wondering if he even really knew Cassidy at all. 
 Starr is not to be left out either as he deals with Eisenstein, the man who recruited him into the Grail, and who has been tasked with dealing with Starr's outrageous behavior. And yes, Starr does suffer dismemberment again at the end of this volume. 
 This sets up well for the thrilling conclusion in Alamo. At times, I think like Amy does: "I wish I could be you. Either one."
