Priest #11
Priest, Volume 11
For centuries, the Order of St. Vertinez has used whatever means necessary to protect Catholic interests around the world. The autonomous order reports to no one, not even the Pope, for its deeds would leave blood on the soul of any man. Years ago, while investigating an ancient artifact in the American West, the Order inadvertently released the fallen archangel Temozarela from centuries of imprisonment. Now the Order has returned to clean up its mess, and this time, no one will live to tell the tale.

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.

For those of you disappointed with the change of pace in volumes 9 & 10 (two books for a single fight level of self indulgence) you'll be pleased to note Priest gets back on track, reverting to its normal complexly plotted self for this 11th instalment.
Ivan saves Lizzie but when she tells him she's willing to be his beloved Gena, he ditches her and she finds some outlaws to join.
Coburn and his Posse are still going strong and have a new enemy to deal with: The Order of Saint Vertinez - there are 7 fanatics hot set on starting the apocalypse. These are the guys that set Ivan into opening the Domas Porada and are now on a killing spree. American Indian scout Cairo takes them on single handedly with bloody results.
So were back with multiple character threads and the complex epic story of good vs evil... but where its very hard to tell exactly who the good guys are!
The artwork in this volume is rather interesting and varies: we have some rough sketchy illustrations, some minutely detailed freaky art, one section of heavily shaded almost blurred art and of course the single panels recreating what I take to be original Medieval images and woodcuts. I don't know if different sections are done by different artists or not, but it makes this stand out from other manga, its visually arresting and goes really well with the story.
In feel we're getting back into Hellsing territory especially with the bespectackled, hook handed fanatical villain and all the limb severing. It is sort of Hellsing without the humour.

Saya jadi lebih sering mengomentari artworknya ketimbang alur cerita LOL
Terlepas dr penyusunan panel yg aneh (atau mungkin sy tak terbiasa dg manhwa alih2 manga?) artwork Hyung memang menarik dg beberapa ilustrasi samar kasar, terkadang beberapa terkesan eksentrik namun sangat detail, terkadang yang hampir buram dan tentu saja panel tunggal yang menciptakan kembali apa yang saya anggap sebagai gambar/ potongan lukisan dr Abad Pertengahan asli. Itu setidaknya membuat bagian2 ini menonjol dari manga, secara visual menarik dan sangat cocok dengan cerita.
Dalam perasaan kita kembali ke wilayah Hellsing terutama dengan penjahat fanatik berkacamata, tangan kait dan semua anggota badan yang terputus XDDD Yah, ini semacam dunia Hellsing tanpa humor hhe
