Unfortunately, the political and religious climate in the US right now is NOT ready for Preacher on TV...on any network. Preacher is one of my favorite comic series of all time and I don't think MSJ would have done it justice, so this is probably for the best. Agreed, DanJW.

The main plot revolves areound the offspring between a devil and an angel, creating a being more powerful than God. As a result God abandons his throne in heaven and goes on the lam (oh and one of the best characters is 'the Patron Saint of Murderers'). Or something like that. In any case bible-belt America would go bat shit insane over it. I’ve read a few issues of Preacher, and I suspect that the problem was not the violence, but the blasphemy.
