They fall nicely into my recent post-apocalyptic reading, from more of a Judeo-Christian bent than the zombie books I’ve been reading.

Oh, and they’re graphic novels—comic books. Thanks to the gang at the Shack for the recommendation.

I’m not going to describe plot (it would sound ridiculous), the art style (it would sound gratuitous), or even the characters (vampires, angels, and fat men… oh my!). I will say that the Preacher combines the religious overtones of Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman’s Good Omens, a fair helping of the gratuitous, over-the-top violence of Sin City, and a dash of genuine, homegrown perversity.

It’s edgy and interesting, and I’ve enjoyed the hell out of it so far.
