Priest, Volume 8

Priest #8

by Min-Woo Hyung (Illustrator)

Everybody wants a piece of Ivan Isaacs. The agents of the fallen angel Temozarela want to destroy him. The law has a bounty on his head, not knowing that no mortal man could hope to take it. The one who needs Ivan most of all is Coburn, a US Marshall who leads a team in an investigation of the recent string of “unusual” incidents around the Southwest. His only lead to finding Ivan is Lizzie, former leader of the Rebel Angels and the only surviving Witness of the St. Baldlas Massacre. Lizzie needs Ivan too―he might be the only one who can help her cure the plague she contracted from her encounter with Temozarela’s agents.

Reviewing my reads from years past, I felt that I've outgrown this title. Thus, it is among the first to join my first ever Culling, in the hopes to free up valuable shelf space for more important and worthwhile books.

It may have been the publisher's demise and my inability to find further volumes that doomed this series for me. It was a waste because it was once so promising.

Flashback pengenalan Temozarela-Ivan&Beliel akhirnya selesai! Hyung tidak terlalu membedakan apakah ini flashback atau bukan. Yang jelas, pembaca masih diarahkan pada kisah diary. Sempat timeslip ke masa ayah ester hidup, namun tidak ada perbedaan panel yg berarti. Namun saya cukup bertahan dg manhwa ini, setidaknya menilik dr artworknya sy berharap banyak :))

This is the half-way point of the series and pretty much sums up the previous 7 books ending the lengthy flashback plot expositions and
returning the narrative to the Wild West setting.

We get Belial trying to tempt Ivan to his side but the stubborn priest manages to keep his own will - Belial does resurrect Gena's stallion Jupiter, giving Ivan his own supernatural steed.

We follow Ivan as he becomes a bounty hunter killing the outlaw Sentenza gang for silver to fashion silver bullets.

Federal Marshall Coburn and his Posse along with Lizzie (bitten but still fighting) are on Ivan's trail trying to find out what's going on. The Vatican have sent Father Lucian yet another priest to find out what happened to father piestro (the driven priest who forced Ivan to open the Domas Porada)

Not a particularly interesting volume. The most notable aspect is the similarity between Gena and Lizzie - is she a reincarnation? Hmmmmmmmm.

I didn't like this volume.... I just keep wondering what happened. the main idea of this book or the only thing that will effect the plot is that we are back to the time in volume three nothing else....

The flashback is finally done! Love this series, but I was definitely more than ready to get back to the "present". Excellent artwork! Wish I could read more!
