my memory of the comic is hazy so maybe someone could answer some of these questions for me?
why was genesis created if it would simply be used as a weapon against the god in the comics?
why was the leader of the samson squad laughing at starr in the finally briefing he was giving?
did jc still have that eyepatch once he was resurrected? Jarwulf 20:43, 29 December 2006 (UTC)
I don't see any real need to merge them here. Someday I'm going to do a Minor Characters in Preacher page, but I think they're notable enough to deserve their own article. Somebody should also flesh out the characters section here, with links and a short description for all of their characters with their own article. Stilgar135 05:57, 23 November 2006 (UTC)
Now it's official HBO will produce the adaptation of the comicbook! Mark Steven Johnson will write the script for the pilot. http://www.moviehole.net/news/20061129_hbo_confesses_to_priest.html

The opening line of this entry states that Preacher is a British comicbook. While I am aware that creators Garth Ennis and Steve Dillon are from the UK, that doesn't make Preacher a British comic book. DC/Vertigo is a US based publisher. I'm sure they also sell comics in England, but the one has nothing to do with the other.

Responce: Garth Ennis hails from Ireland, however if I remember correctly Steve Dillion is an American. What Ennis implies when he says its a British comic in the inital issue is the America seen in the Preacher books is one viewed through the lense of a Brit. The setting for Preacher is America seen through the twisted eyes of Garth Ennis, or one could even go so far as to infer that Cassidy is very much the embodiment of this concept a true green blooded celtic (albeit an Undead one) lost in a version of America filtered by telivison and myth and a darkly yet wonderfully morose sense of humor and morality...oh and that damn Atlantic Ocean.

Its worth noting that the plot line mentioned that describes the death of Jesus Christ in "Preacher" is a nod to Texan writer Joe R Lansdale, as the fate of Jesus "struck down by a run away dung cart" is taken directly from Lansdale's short story "Trains Not Taken"
In this story Jesus is described as a relative of John The Baptist who was killed in an unfortunate accident of the runaway dung cart type.

Hi, the new issue of The Irish Journal of Gothic and Horror Studies, which I'm co-editor of, has quite a good article (about 7,000 words) on Preacher and it's use of genre (Western and Gothic) and Irish elements. I see there are no "External Links" on this page yet. What would you think of adding a link to this article on the page? You can check it here [1]I don't think there's anything quite as in-depth been written about it on the web and as such it could be very useful for people wanting to know more about the series.

(
help)did anybody noticed how the theology of preacher is much like the one in the movie prophecy 1995?
In the "characters" section, the link from "god" leads to trinity. However, I very much doubt that most Christian would agree that the God depictured in Preacher is the true Christian God. Probably the God character in Preacher should have its own article. // habj 19:59, 9 August 2007 (UTC)
Funny, that there's no mention of Dune. I mean I haven't read any articles about it, but I've read the comics and the influence of the novel Dune is rather obvious, almost to the level of theft. I mean, the use of the Voice is only a coincidence, but when the overweight head of Grail appears who conducts human breeding for genetic purposes, that's just plainly elements from Dune. 81.182.236.176 ( talk) 03:27, 29 September 2008 (UTC)
Does anyone know if a pilot was ever actually filmed for HBO? - Joltman ( talk) 16:23, 23 January 2009 (UTC)
I saw this article at ANI, and I looked at the three sources. The only source that could make it have notability in the real world is the last one " The Da Vinci Code": What is the Priory of Sion?" written by Massimo Introvigne,published in his Center for Studies on New Religions. Unfortunately this article only says at the end "Preacher and The Magdalena (recently joined by Rex Mundi) were among the popular comic book series which also focused interest on the subject.", and I notice that this text was already merged into this article here. -- Enric Naval ( talk) 14:08, 6 August 2009 (UTC)
A few points in the article seem too flowery and in-universe for Wikipedia. Specifically, "In other words, Jesse Custer, bonded to Genesis, may have become the most powerful being in the whole of living existence" and "the image of the Saint of Killers, a reformed bounty hunter-turned-killer-once-more in the tradition of Clint Eastwood's Unforgiven character, William Munny, is a nod to the classic Western notion of nemesis, straight and true and terrible." In the case of the former, does it add anything that isn't expressed in the previous sentence, "However, as it is composed of both pure goodness and pure evil, it might have enough power to rival that of God Himself," beyond a more flashy wording? In the latter, there's no explanation of "the classic Western notion of nemesis" - just a poetic non-description. If it's a quotation from the comic, put it in quotes and give a citation. If it's not, would it be better to either ditch it or attach it to a greater explanation of what the Western notion of nemesis actually is? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 157.166.175.129 ( talk) 19:37, 12 September 2013 (UTC)

I've removed the following:
The entire section has been uncited since December of 2014. I'm guessing enough time was given for someone to cite any of the material and so its been removed.
