About this ebook

Merging with a bizarre spiritual force called Genesis, Texan Preacher Jesse Custer becomes completely disillusioned with the beliefs that he had dedicated his entire life to. Now possessing the power of "the word," an ability to make people do whatever he utters, Custer begins a violent and riotous journey across the country. Joined by his gun-toting girlfriend Tulip and the hard drinking Irish vampire Cassidy, the Preacher loses faith in both man and God as he witnesses dark atrocities and improbable calamities during his exploration of America.

Ratings and reviews

Next to Spawn, this is one of my favorite dark graphic novels of all time. Ennnis wanted to make something as anti-pc as he could, and hit it out of the park.

Started watching the the television show and lived. They've taken lots if liberties I see but both are great. Can't wait to read volume 2.

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!
