It is the first arc, however, that will be what the book is remembered for. The second arc adds brand new elements to the story and begins to peel away more layers of Ennis’s strange universe. Much like the first half of Gone to Texas, the first half of this second book is told in a non-linear fashion, so it moves the plot forward as well as fills in the mystery of Jesse’s past. The first half of Until the End of the World is basically an origin story for Jesse Custer before his transformation. Like the first volume, it contains two story arcs however, unlike the first volume, both are very strong, making the book an incredible read. In the second trade paperback of the Preacher series, called Until the End of the World, Garth Ennis and Steve Dillon show us more of Jesse Custer the man, and his dark and twisted history. Despite having the powers of the Almighty himself, Jesse Custer finds himself face to face with his past and must use every ounce of will power he has to keep from letting it control and ultimately destroy him. If he hasn’t dealt with it properly, it can control him in ways he could never have imagined. No matter who he is no matter how far he has come or what he has accomplished sometimes a man’s past can still haunt him. 3.“Forced worship stinks in God’s nostrils” -Roger Williams.
