Preacher is my favorite vertigo title of all time. I don’t even remember why I bought the first issue, but I’m glad I did. The story of Jesse Custer, girlfriend Tulip and friend vampire, Cassidy, it’s the simple story of a man’s search for God. Not the spiritual way, but actual God. And that all I can say. Get it. Read it. It’s not for everyone, and it helps if one has a warped sense of humor, but it’s worth reading! Again and again and again.

From the very first issue, Preacher captivated me in a way few graphic novels have. I read every single issue of this story within a matter of weeks, I could not get enough. The story follows Jesse, a preacher in Texas, who gets invoked with a spirit that may make him the most powerful being in existence. The characters are beautifully flawed, the themes of religion, right and wrong, are mixed with Movie Westerns and Secret Societies. Once you start Preacher, you are in it for the whole 75 issues. You will be glad you went on this journey! The hardcovers are beautiful and a must-have for you to enjoy reading over and over again.
