Preacher on AMC

[mistercharlie]

This is an awesome comic book that was published in the '90s. It was written by Garth Enis and drawn by Steve Dillon. This was one of the first comics to really take it 'out there' even more so than Watchmen. I've been waiting for someone to adapt it for the screen. I had always thought only HBO could do it, but think AMC will do just fine.

The only downside I see here is that Seth Rogan is attached behind the scenes. I'm not sure how I feel about that.

I'm not worried about Seth Rogen. He's a fan of the book and he's gonna get it done.
I have some concerns about the changes to the narrative though. I don't want to get spoiler-y for those who don't know the story but if you do, seek out yesterday's Nerdist piece. They show a cool makeup test HBO did for Arseface.

Either way, I'm anxious to see this. It's an amazing story and could make great television.

Yeah, that sound pretty different from the story we know. I bet it will be good though, given AMC's track record.

I am really liking the different take on the story. Kind of a slow burn type of thing going on.

The hard part is that I've read it before so the wife keeps asking me questions about things that are explained right out of the gate in the books but seem like they are keeping an bit of mystery about some of it so I don't want to answer her questions.
