At first glance, the Reverend Jesse Custer doesn’t look like anyone special—just another small-town minister slowly losing his flock and his faith. But he’s about to come face-to-face with proof that God does indeed exist. Merging with a bizarre spiritual force called Genesis, Jesse now possesses the power of “the Word,” an ability to make people obey whatever he utters. He begins a violent and riotous journey across the country in search of answers from the elusive deity. But those answers are going to be hard-won—especially considering what Heaven has sent to stop him.
This compact volume is the beginning of the Preacher saga, one of the most celebrated comics titles of the late 1990s. Created by writer Garth Ennis and artist Steve Dillon, this modern American epic of life, death, love, and redemption is also packed with sex, booze, blood, and bullets—not to mention angels, demons, God, vampires, and deviants of all stripes—making for one of the most viscerally appealing tales ever to see four-color print.
