I Wish This Was A Weekly Cartoon Strip
(click to enlarge)
This is so genius if you get both Calvin and Hobbes and Spider-Man history. In a perfect world there would be years worth of this strip to enjoy.

Preacher - Briliant End To Season One
Damn Preacher - to start with a shots of buttlick Texs to the background soundtrack of Willie Nelson. That is just the way you start me a program. Then Hank Williams, Johnny Cash ect. Damn, bitches. Stop it. I love me a powerful soundtrack that understands the importance of good music to good storytelling. This show may need a soundtrack release.
Yes, for all your purists, Season One didn't slavishly follow the comics by almost telling the story BEFORE the comic book begins. In the comic, the Genesis enters Jessie in issue one and that kills his whole congregation. That doesn't happen here and that is okay. It's better that we get all this great, rich background before the REAL search for God begins. Fantastic adaptation that could not have been done UNTIL 2016. The world was not ready for this comic book when it first came out and it took this look to get it made just right. Season one will be a fun binge on ten episodes that you will dig, a lot. Especially when GOD shows up. Yes, THAT God.
Now where is my Harley J. Earle figure? Hell of an Emmy worthy performance from a punk child star who became one of the great character actors of the day.
I also gots me a deep love for Miss Tulip. Yes, once again a black woman replaced the white woman from the comics but it made not one lick of difference to the story. In fact it made it better in many ways due to the great performance of Ruth Negga.
Thank you Preacher for never pulling back just to save my feelings or my sensibilities. If I have to burn in Hell one day I know this one will be on TV all the time down there and I can live with that.
Sign Me Up!
When I was in jr high we had religion once a week. Catholic kids in a room with Father Boring and Protestants in the gym for music and slides featuring Peanuts characters. I converted on the spot for that one class. Mama didn't raise no fools. Now if they would have given us this choice I might have taken it. I like their mascot. He looks like a magician and what kid doesn't like magic?
“It’s important that children be given an opportunity to realize that the evangelical materials now creeping into their schools are representative of but one religious opinion amongst many. While the Good News Clubs focus on indoctrination, instilling them with a fear of Hell and God’s wrath, After School Satan Clubs will focus on free inquiry and rationalism, the scientific basis for which we know what we know about the world around us. We prefer to give children an appreciation of the natural wonders surrounding them, not a fear of everlasting other-worldly horrors.“
Maybe they could have spend a little more money to make their video more inviting and not so freaky. This looks like a poorly made 70s slasher film.
