	Preacher (comics) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Preacher is a comic book created by writer Garth Ennis and artist Steve Dillon, published by the Vertigo imprint of DC Comics, with painted covers by Glenn Fabry.
		Preacher tells the story of Jesse Custer, a down-and-out preacher in a small Texas town, who becomes possessed by the supernatural creature "Genesis" in an incident which kills his congregation and flattens his church.
		Preacher is notable mainly for its extremely strong character-building and its focus on storytelling, the handling of religious and supernatural themes in an unapologetic way (which many may find objectionable), the extremely dark and frequently violent humor, and the wide range of influences from outside comics.

	The Preacher
		Let me remind you now that this comic does intentionally violate all standards of decency, and it is suggested that any person having problems with blasphemy and excessive violence for their own sake refrains from deeply exploring the topic.
		She was the one who forced him to become a preacher, and she wants him to father children in order to continue the line of Preachers in her family.
		It is this trait which makes him a comic superhero in the traditional sense, but his general behavior and language ensure that he and the whole series set themselves apart from the classic mainstream superhero comic.

	Preacher: Alamo Review - Silver Bullet Comics
		In addition, the artwork is consistently functional and although it is not especially pretty, neither is the plot; therefore, in a twisted way it captures the feel of the writing.
		I feel certain that no comics writer alive today would dare to do what he has done with Preacher and that is why I vote for Preacher as the book most likely to be burned in a national press witch-hunt in 2001.
		Preacher Book Nine: Alamo should be read in conjunction with books 1-8 to avoid total and utter confusion from a new reader.

		I don't want to collect EVERY single issue of the Preacher series, I was just interested in having issue #2 as a memento of the past series before some fat pimply fanboy gets his greasy hands on it.
		Comics are still worth something, just not the insane prices we had going when Senor Liefeld y Senor McFarlane were running the asylum.
		The only Preacher hardcover is Preacher: Dead or Alive, which is a gorgeous collection of Glenn Fabry's excellent cover artwork with commentary from Ennis and Fabry.

		Preacher is one of the more unusual and interesting of the comic series I've ever seen, with the requisite levels of adult content, good storytelling, and pure wierdness it takes to pen an instant classic.
		Preacher is the best adult comic out there, especially if you like disturbing yourself with gruesome violence, and bizzare plots only the minds of Ennis and Dillon can create.

		Preacher’s detractors like to point out that the concept is big and dumb.
		The more interesting way of considering God in Preacher is a literal incarnation of God as described in the Old Testament, a walking, talking bundle of hypocrisy who seems every bit as flawed as the strangely human deities of Greek mythology.
		Preacher is an epic, and like any epic the story is long and involving.

	Garth Ennis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Running from 1995 to 2000, it was a tale of a preacher with supernatural powers, searching (literally) for a God who has abandoned His creation.
		While Preacher was running, Ennis began a series set in the DC universe called Hitman.
		In 2001 he briefly returned to UK comics to write the epic Helter Skelter for Judge Dredd - this series cannot be considered a success, with Ennis himself saying that there is "not a hope" to return to writing Dredd as he was generally not happy with his run.

		One of the great things about comics is that you occasionally come across something that you know would be impossible to create in any other medium.
		Preacher is one such example - an epic work of fiction that's too long and too violent to appear in almost any other visual form.
		Ennis's America is a violent gun culture and Preacher pulls no punches in demonstrating what happens when you give every psycho (including the police) the right to carry arms.

		Before Preacher and before Hitman there was Dicks, a story in which two private investigators from Belfast cursed and caroused their way to and through crime scenes to solve mysteries.
		With Preacher, Ennis blew the doors wide open with his story of a Catholic preacher, his girlfriend and a foul-mouthed Irish vampire on a journey to find God and kick his holy ass.
		Preacher remains to this day one of the greatest stories ever published by Vertigo Comics.

		I went back to the comic store and asked about buying Preacher back issues since I was slightly behind in the series, which, at that time, was about to begin the War in the Sun episodes.
		As the clerk bagged the comics I noticed he gave me all the comics, which included multiple copies of issues #2, #3, #4, and #5, and my heart fell to the floor with shock.
		With Alamo, the Preacher saga began to come to a close and I was excited because I knew that the question of how Jesse would find and destroy God would be answered, but I was also sad because the magical effect Preacher had upon my life was about to end.

		Too often these days a comic book series is plagued by shifting writers, interior artists, and cover artists; it's a rare case when a unifying vision keeps a top team together for a full run on a series.
		For a "Preacher' fan this is a necessity; I'd even recommend it to graphics people or budding artists as a great overview of design and anatomy that straddles the grotesque and the fantastic.
		As a longtime of Garth Ennis' legendary DC/Vertigo comic Preacher, I was very excited to see this collection, which promised not only every Glenn Fabry cover from the series, related mini-series and one-shots, and trade paperbacks, but commentary by Fabry and Ennis, behind-the-scenes stuff like sketches and rejected covers.

		With Preacher, the whole concept itself was pretty blasphemous in itself, and it became more and more clear the more I read that Ennis was going out of his way to be as offensive as possible with regards to Christianity.
		Preacher was clearly riffing on the Western, as it was riffing on religion.

		Now although it is not my favourite of his Preacher installment (Proud Americans still being my favourite contribution), it still captivates me in a way that no other book will.
		Although not the strongest of the Preacher collection,(my personal favouite is Proud Americans)it shows the depth that Garth Ennis can go in to, given the opportunity.
		It's not that this book is bad - it is action-packed and follows the usual Preacher guidelines of addressing issues whilst having fun and throwing in a bit of dirty sex as well.
