I don't know what it is about mature, violent late 90s comics but they seem to grab me and finds a place in my heart almost immediately. Preacher is one of those comics that most people would assume I wouldn't like - it's violent, it has some body horror, and it has foul language, among other things. But I honestly didn't care about any of that - the story had me hooked almost immediately. I loved Jesse, I was invested in his relationship with Tulip (what a ridiculous name), and Cassidy made me crack up. Then there's the art, which really added to the story and I can't wait to draw some of it.
I can't recommend this one to most people. But man, I sure enjoyed the ride.

I can't deny that it's a page turner, but the content is also very dark. Because of that, it's far from an enjoyable read.
