Preacher

I think Hellblazer beats Preacher, but both should be read thoroughly ;)

i can't really compare the two of them, mostly due in part to the fact that Hellblazer has about four times as many issues as Preacher. all in all, i would tend to favor Preacher though...if you were to select at random sixty six issues of Hellblazer, and compare them to the whole sixty six issue run of Preacher, i feel as though i would go with Preacher.

Transmet is nowhere near as bloody as Preacher. Preacher more or less set the standard for gross-out violence in comics.

Oh, I'd say Hellblazer is fucking fantastic if you ignore the parts Garth Ennis wrote (except for Dangerous Habits, which is quite good).
Honestly, Preacher is the only thing of his I've found readable.

Mike Carey's and Denise Mina's recent runs on it were both fantastic. Can't say anything for Andy Diggle's run, as it has yet to be collected in tpb, and thus I've yet to read it.

I guess my real question is: Would you recommend it to someone whose comic library consists of Alan Moore, Sandman, Fables, Bone, The Walking Dead, Flight, Penny Arcade, and Scott Pilgrim?

If by any chance you didn't enjoy your grandmother growing up...this comic will make you cherish her.
