Preacher Book 1 and Preacher Book 2 by Garth Ennis, 352 and 368 pages
The Preacher series, or at least the first two books, are about a preacher named Jesse who has unwillingly merged with an ancient spirit named Genesis. Genesis was the result of an unnatural union between an angel and a demon and is a being powerful enough to rival God. Jesse seeking answers begins a journey to find God who fled heaven when he learned of the birth of Genesis. He is aided by an ex girlfriend named Tulip and a vampire named Cassidy.
This is quite an interesting series and so far I like how it has developed. It takes a little while, name till the end of book two before we learn the main characters back story but the rest of the plot flies along. It is a very graphic novel especially in the gore department but there is also some adult material. There are some religious themes that could be offensive to some.
