Preacher Special: Saint of Killers

Preacher Special seriesNext:Preacher Spacial: The Story of You-Know-Who(1996) →

Jesse Custer, a preacher from Texas, has set out for Monument Valley to settle matters with God. His plans are disrupted when Starr and the Saint of Killers arrive with their own agenda. Jesse fuses with a strange spiritual force called Genesis and comes away disillusioned with the faith he has lived by. He now holds the Word, a power that makes anyone obey what he says, and he sets out on a dark road across a country full of cruelty and absurd disaster. Travelling with him are Tulip, his gun-carrying girlfriend, and Cassidy, a hard-drinking Irish vampire. The episodes build toward a final showdown, and side stories fill in the backgrounds of other characters.
