In this now-legendary graphic novel series that serves as the inspiration for the hit AMC television series， Jesse Custer was just a small-town preacher in Texas。。。until his congregation was flattened by powers beyond his control and the preacher became imbued with abilities beyond anyone's understanding。

Now possessed by Genesis--the unholy offspring of an angel and demon--Jesse holds Word of God， an ability to command anyone or anything with a mere utterance。 And he'll use this power to hold the Lord accountable for the people He has forsaken。

From the ashes of a small-town church to the bright lights of New York City to the backwoods of Louisiana， Jesse Custer cuts a righteous path across the soul of America in his quest for the divine--an effort that will be met by every evil that Heaven and Earth can assemble。 Joined by his gun-toting girlfriend， Tulip， and the hard-drinking Irish vampire Cassidy， Jesse will stop at nothing to fulfill his quest to find God。

The powerhouse creative team of Garth Ennis and Steve Dillon bring readers on a violent and riotous journey across the country in this award-winning Vertigo series， beginning with Preacher: The 25th Anniversary Omnibus Vol。 1！
