PREACHER GONE TO TEXAS TP (DC COMPACT COMICS EDITION)(MR) (05 Jan Release)

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. Collects PREACHER #1-7.
