Putting the graphic in Graphic Novel

Putting the graphic in Graphic Novel.

Every TV show or film has a somewhat troubled route before it’s made but Gareth Ennis’ seminal graphic novel Preacher is the definitive tale of a stop-start production. Skyfall and SPECTRE director Sam Mendes was briefly attached to the property but Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg are the latest minds to take a stab at it.

Dominic Cooper plays Jesse Custer, a clergyman who becomes fused with a powerful demon named Genesis and embarks on a journey of revenge across the US but he’s not alone.

Ex-lover, Tulip, and Irish vampire best friend, Cassidy are in tow for this dark, violent and foul-mouthed show. This looks absolutely stunning.
