Just Picked up Preacher
 

The first few pages turn my stomach a little... I dont know what it is, I'm not highly offended easily, but theres such a dark unforgiving tone to it already. I was reading it in the store and decided to pick it up anyways. I hear the characters are really well developed and the story is pretty original. What do you guys gave to say about it? I wanna know what I'm in for...no spoilers please!

I've never bothered to read it. Don't think I'd be a big fan of it. I think I prefer comics that aren't so dark, unless it's something like Alan Moore's stuff which is really well written.

Preacher is well written. I haven't had the pleasure of reading much of it but what I did read was good. After I finish Watchmen I'm considering Preacher as my next read.

You really should Spitfire...funny, I was wrapping up watchmen for my second time the day before I went out and got preacher...it's super fun to read. I'm gonna try and pick up the next couple of volumes this month. The characters are awesome too.

I've got to read Watchmen again before the movie comes out. I've got a little less than a year, right?:)

I'm not sure why, I just don't think Preacher would hold my interest. I've read some of Ennis' Punisher, but I guess I'm not the biggest fan of his dark humor. Maybe I'm just too much of a fanboy of superheroes...and mutant turtles.

It makes sense. It is pretty dark stuff sometimes, but I feel like the great characters lighten it up somehow...to me, they're just really loveable. Through all the dark themes, there is some light shown, like watching Cassidy and John(?...did I really already forget his name..guess it slipped)'s friendship grow. Parts like that really made things "feel alright" for me.
