Preacher (1995)

The television version reshuffled Garth Ennis and Steve Dillon's story so heavily that the comic is close to a new experience. Over 66 issues for Vertigo, it becomes a road story across America, with a preacher setting out to find God and confront him, and its jokes, blasphemy and violence go well past anything cable allowed. What viewers may not expect is how sincere it gets about friendship and loyalty underneath the shock value. Dillon's plain, expressive faces keep the wildest scenes grounded.
