Gone to Texas was a mixed bag for me. On the one hand, I found this first volume to be a bit underwhelming. There was a lot going on, and some of it was fantastic, and some of it was... meh. Maybe I was just expecting too much out of it because the series came so highly recommended by so many people. I get the feeling that Preacher is a slow burn, and the first book in a series like this is usually not the best book in the series (see: Sandman). I liked it a lot, but I didn't love it. However, Preacher has a fantastic premise, and I think Garth Ennis has the chops to pull it off. I plan to stick with it, and I'm very optimistic about volumes 2-9!
