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.

Best graphic series ever.

ByCaraon November 25, 2016

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

This review is for the whole series and this 6 book format. The story is absolutely amazing and brilliantly crazy. Anyone who reads it should love love it as long as you're not overly sensitive concerning religion. Also it's different from the new series on AMC, so don't think you know what the books entail completely. As for the 6 book format in paperback, they are the best bang for your buck compared to the old 9 volume editions and certainly the hardcover or the Absolute editions which are way overpriced. Just enjoy reading and keep an open mind.

Seminal Graphic Novel - Worth a Read

ByMLTon May 19, 2017

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

This series pretty much defined adult-oriented graphic novels. The TV series is seriously weak tea compared to the original and if you're at all interested in it, I strongly recommend you buy this and read it.

Spoiler: If you're a die-hard Evangelical Christian with little tolerance of anyone questioning the utter rightness of your beliefs, you might want to give this a pass. It'll irritate you.

Give it a shot unless you have real thin skin

ByJosephon November 14, 2016

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

I was wary to pick up preacher because of the premise and hearing that people were upset by how anti-Christian it was. I'm Christian but I'm not easily offended or anything. I love Crossed and had read the one arc by Ennis with the Englishman, Irishman, etc. That didn't offend me but it was annoying how preachy it was with atheism. I was worried preacher would be an entire series like that but I was pleasantly surprised! After reading the first book I think anyone wary like I was doesn't need to worry, assuming you're not easily offended.
It's funny, twisted, and dark with good characters and a good/evil or heaven/hell theme. Great story too, I couldn't put it down. I also was pleasantly surprised by the art work! I know this came out a while back so I was worried it would be that old style comic art that comes on the newspaper style paper (like old Hellblazer). The art is great and pretty modern looking, the book itself is nice quality with gloss paper. Holds up to any modern trade paperback. I tore through the first book in 2 sittings and already have book 2 ordered. Unless the series takes a turn and becomes one long atheist sermon, I don't see what the big fuss was about. I'm glad I gave it a shot and can't wait to see how the show holds up!

Wow. Wow. A very cool and unique story. I couldn't put it down. Great characters. It kept me guessing from page to page. I have to get book two to see where the story goes next.

IMHO Best Comic Series Ever Published

ByJeffrey W Simonson May 3, 2016

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

I've collected/read comics for over almost 40 years, just re-read this series in anticipation of the AMC TV show. One of the best comic books ever written (definitely my personal favorite). Garth Ennis tells such a gripping, unrepentant, unapologetic tale of love, friendship, what it means to be a man in America, dysfunctional families, and why God needs to own up to His creations. LOL.

And the Saint of Killers is one of my favorite comic book characters of all time.

More than I thoght

ByThe Bespectacled Observeron September 18, 2013

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

This 'book' format is a second edition of a Preacher collection, and it contains twelve issues--and Preacher only ran for about 75, side stories included. It's three complete storylines here. I was very surprised by how much of Preacher was in this one book. If you don't have Preacher but want to, it's a good buy.
