so is this guy basically Punisher with a collar?

also, is this supernatural in nature?

Not quite Punisher. And it is supernatural in nature. Plot concerns an angry Preacher who is endowed with the word of God - basically a holy power after some religious hell and heaven ****ery gets in him. He teams up with his gun-toting ex girlfriend and an alcoholic Irish vampire to literally find God himself, who recently abandoned heaven, in order to kick his ass.

Along the way they run into an assortment of assholes and psychos including Assfaces, Nazi Dominatrix's, an armadillo banging aristocrat, and all manner of scum, all while being hunted down by the Patron Saint of Killers, and guided by his moral compass John Wayne.

It's ****ing dope.

It's a magical story of love and loss.

Read Preacher asap, Marwash. You won't be sorry.

My wife is now reading the TPBs of Preacher at my behest.

I wonder if they'll still use Kurt Cobain killing himself for Arseface's origin.

That would be dope if that happened. However, many of today's younger audiences might not even know who Cobain is.

This still going ahead or has it been scrapped?

So He shares something with Garth Ennis. Both are full of SHIT!

Why don't you like Ennis, Fly?

Jackie Earle Haley is Odin Quincannon. I can't think of a better actor, personally.

That is a story that is too horrible to bring up on this forum.

Jeff Fahey needs to be Conan Quincannon.

There needs to be more love for Preacher, you sperm burpers!

I just have a real fear they are going to f*ck this up.

I have to admit that it'll be neutered.

I don't see any of the violence being altered.

How much of it will really need to be neutered though?

The violence probably won't be allowed to exceed shows like Breaking Bad or Into the Badlands, but not be allowed to reach Messing up the Zombies Level of TWD.

Because AMC has a Standards' and Practices just to F with you just like all the other networks.

Which is used to show why The people on TWD can head shoot zombies blindfolded from a mile away but can't hit a bad human 4 feet away.
