Preacher Volume 1 : Gone to Texas

Merging with a bizarre spiritual force called Genesis, 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 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.

Reviews:

Utterly, utterly unrestrained violence both verbal and actual define the start of this renowned variation on the theme raised by Tony Kutschner's 1993 play Angels in America - to wit, that God has quit his creation and can't be found.

But in Ennis and Dillon's savage, black humoured rampage through archetypes from Jehovah to John Wayne and back, this is a man- (or God-) hunt, not a lament, and every character deployed is armed to the teeth.

Featuring a hard drinking Irish vampire, a rogue preacher with a power greater than heaven in his voice and an indestructible undead gunman straight out of a Sergio Leone movie. Had a body count that made even me blink.
