Preacher was a
Vertigo Comic by acclaimed author Garth Ennis and equally beloved artist Steve
Dilon. Lasting for a total 75
issues it’s considered a major hallmark for comics and is one of the universal
counters to the claim that comics sucked in the ‘90s as the series lasted from
1995 to 2000. Recently, rising
star comedian Seth Rogan has set-up about bringing the show to AMC in what, I
assume, was an attempt to recreate the monster success the network enjoyed with
The Walking Dead. Against pretty much everyone’s better
judgment that adaptation is going forward with a confirmed 10 episodes set for
a premiere next year and Dominic Cooper set to play the lead character of Jesse
Custer. Cooper is actually a bit
of a get for the series as he’s most well known for playing Howard Stark in Captain America: The First Avenger and Agent Carter making him one of the many
Marvel actors crossing the floor to a DC project. Now, the first full trailer has premiered for the show and
surprise; it’s garbage.
