Preacher

There are far too many things hiding in the dark. Too many secrets bring kept. Too many words silenced. Until Preacher. Jesse Custer and his angel/demon spawn, Genesis, bring a town to destruction and quickly move to the next. You might want to straighten up and fly right, y'all. And get these graphic novels. They expand from where the TV show left us hanging and I WANT MORE!

I've tried so hard to get my friends to read this, but they all say the same thing. "Oh, it's a comic book." Look, my dude. I'm telling you right now. This is NOT your average comic. You'll be mind blown by just how much this book will throw at you. And it just keeps throwing it. Best book I've ever read. On book 4 right now.

Twisted, disgusting, brilliant, terrifying, hilarious, disturbing, epic--all these words and more could describe volume one of Garth Ennis's Preacher. By page 100 or so I plowed straight through the rest of the 350 page graphic novel, however the first three or four chapters are fairly clunky. It tries so hard to get the story moving that it jumps the gun on proper character introduction, leaving it to info-dumping flashbacks and convenient coincidences. Still great though.
