The second half of Volume 3 in this series was devoted to the reminiscences of one of the main characters; Volume Four gives us three backstories about some of the background characters - the Saint of Killers, Arseface and Jesse's redneck relatives Jody and T.C. - altogether more

It's a collection of one-offs (the Arseface and Jody/TC stories) and a mini (the Saint of Killers story) that were published outside of the regular run. Because of this the style was "allowed" to be quite different to the regular book - and it might be that you're enjoying.

Personally, I loved the style of the Jody/TC story, because it's exactly the kind of irreverent silliness that appeals to me. The others were both pretty good though.

Yes, I liked it best too. You knew what was going to happen, the humour was gross and violent, but none the less I thought it was very funny.

I have only read volumes one and three. But damn, they were amazing. I really need to catch the other books.
