"The Characters of Preacher" - PREACHER Featurette

Truthfully, I am "fearful"... I fear the hype bores no fruition and my dearly beloved comicbook series turns in a thud ... sure there are plenty other licenses, like "Constantine", "Lucifer", "Arrow", "The Flash", "Supergirl" et al ("DC's Legends of Tomorrow" is a slightly different beast...), and I can reasonably see past any discrepancies from the source material (NOT that they need at all to be 100% faithful, not at all) ... but specifically for PREACHER, I've never felt the comic would have been made into a different medium and not have it's concepts maintain their potency, and not feel like it's come out diluted thru the other end where the sun don't shine ... I sincerely hope not tho!

WHAT-IS:
"Based on the twisted and popular ‘90s comic book franchise of the same name, “Preacher,” created by Garth Ennis and Steve Dillon, is the story of Jesse Custer (Dominic Cooper) a conflicted Preacher in a small Texas town who is inhabited by a mysterious entity that allows him to develop a highly unconventional power. Jesse, his ex-girlfriend, Tulip (Ruth Negga), and an Irish vampire named Cassidy (Joseph Gilgun) embark on a journey to, literally, find God. The Sony Pictures Television and AMC Studios co-production was developed for television by Seth Rogen & Evan Goldberg (“This Is the End,” “Superbad,” “Neighbors”) and showrunner Sam Catlin (“Breaking Bad”). The series is set to premiere mid-2016."
