The Story of You Know Who is the second in the Preacher specials. This one, as the title states, tells the story of how precisely Arseface came to become Arseface. The story was first told in [b:Gone to Texas|95431|Preacher, Vol. 1 Gone to Texas|Garth Ennis|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1309914494s/95431.jpg|1433215] so it isn't as if any of the backstory comes as a surprise.. it's still just nice to see it all laid out, though.

Prior to becoming the character we all know and love, Sheriff Root's kid was what you would expect... a disaffected youth with a penchant for pot, grunge, and general teenaged idiocy. The artwork in this book was particularly good, and the character of Pube particularly well established. For all the complaints about Preacher being a bad influence, the moralizing in this was rather grand.

I would say that the best part in the whole bloody book here was the speech that Catherine gives him after the suicide attempt. Suicide, for the most part, is an incredibly selfish act. If you think that nobody cares about you, you're wrong. More often it's you who doesn't care, or think, about others. ( )
