Two warnings on this review: 1) I'm totally obsessed with Preacher and 2) this is so brutal that it won't be to many's liking. That being said, it's completely to my liking as Preacher, Jesse Custer, receives a mysterious power that people obey his word. Jesse is the kind of preacher who has a vampire as close friend as well as ex-girlfriend that he abruptly abandoned before taking up the cloth. He's also on the run and wanting some answers. This graphic novel was written in the mid-1990s so the cultural references reflect that. I think it works since I'm certainly old enough to remember the 90s (and a few decades before that). This is a great supplement to anyone watching the AMC series. Like The Walking Dead, there are differences between the series and graphic novel so both can be enjoyed and offer surprises because of the two mediums. The graphic novel is great for filling in some of the mysteries of the show if one is still puzzled.
