WHAT IS PREACHER

Amazon.com review
Here's a book guaranteed to offend a bunch of people, not only because of its profuse profanity and graphic violence, but because it's the epitome of iconoclasm. Like a brutal accident, you can't watch but you can't turn away. The story follows an ex-preacher man, Jesse, who has become disgusted with God's abandoning of His responsibilities. So Jesse starts off into the wilds of Texas with his hitman girlfriend and new best friend (a vampire) to find God so that he can give Him a piece of his mind. Despite its superficial perversity, this book contains what may be the most moral character in mainstream comics. A cult hit in the making. Fans of Quentin Tarantino take note.

More elaborated plot follows...
Jesse Custer is a down and out baptist preacher who gets bonded to an entity named Genesis, the creation of an angel and a demon fucking each others brains out.
Genesis is as powerful as the lord himself and as story go's....God simply leaves his post once Genesis enters the world.
So its up to Jesse and his newfound powers, Cassidy (An irish vampire) and Tulip (Jesse's hit-man ex girlfriend) to find God and make him fess up for all the wrong he's done to his people.

I've read Watchmen, and watched the movie.
Still does'nt compare to Garth's masterpiece. IMHO.
Alan Moore gets over-rated...alot. Not to say he's a bad writer, but he is extremely hyped.
