MAJOR SPOILERS DISCUSSION\\n
\\nPreacher Vol. 1\\n
\\n Here\\u2019s a book guaranteed to offend a bunch of people, not only because of its profuse profanity and graphic violence, but because it\\u2019s the epitome of iconoclasm. Like a brutal accident, you can\\u2019t watch but you can\\u2019t turn away. The story follows an ex-preacher man, Jesse, who has become disgusted with God\\u2019s abandoning of His responsibilities. So Jesse starts off into the wilds of Texas with his hitman girlfriend and new best friend (a vampire) to find God so that he can give Him a piece of his mind. Despite its superficial perversity, this book contains what may be the most moral character in mainstream comics. A cult hit in the making. Fans of Quentin Tarantino take note.
