Preacher is a brilliant comicbook title released
through DC Comics' Vertigo imprint. Very violent in a slapstick sort of way,
and very free with the language.
A disillusioned Texan preacher is suddenly imbued with holy essence and the
power to use the Word of God. Having learned that God is somewhere on Earth.
Jessie Custer means to confront the Almighty and find out what's what.
He travels across the country (sometimes detouring to Europe) with his
girlfriend Tulip and irreverent Irish vampire Cassidy, dodging a
millitaristic crusade hellbent on world domination.
Of course, that's only the short version.
Very cynical and cheeky. Certainly not for everyone. In fact, it is a
celebration of our freedom of speech.
