    Looks poopy, but I'll try it. No matter what, it's going to be a pale shadow of the comic.

    I'm afraid this show is going to dodge some of the weirder elements.

    I understand people are fans of this comic and love it, but you are dumb as dirt if you ever thought you were gonna get a pure adaption of the comic on a Cable TV Show. Like your expectations for these sort of things need to be toned down and realistic or you're always going to walk away disappointed.

    @lukehero: Typically I have low or often no expectations of adaptations. The older I get, the less keen I am on seeing a thing I like cross into the realm of live action.

    Looks okay, not straight Ennis, but that was never an option on AMC. Hopefully it's not as dour looking as it seems. Great cast from the look of things, loving Gilgun already as Cassidy. I really hope Saint of Killers and Herr Starr shows up at some point.

    I hate when they avoid mentioning the supernatural parts of the story just to reach a slightly wider audience. I would love it if they took the risk to explain Jesse Custer's abilities, it will be interesting to see how it goes when things start to go all Genesis and Lucifer on them.

    I've read the comic a bunch of times and I actually liked the trailer. Seems like they know what they're doing. Can't wait. Oh and I don't care about the 'changes' at all..

    Joe Gilgun is in this?! Imma try this out on him alone. But I did some what enjoy the trailer. Haven't read the comics, but people keep telling me it's great. Eventually I'll give them a try too.

    I thought "Preacher" would be a little too violent and profane for a movie. I never thought it would be a TV show. I guess I am very curious to see how this works out. I will definitely give it a try in honor of good old Ennis!

    I all fairness of what people in the comments have said, Disappointment was my expectation. I new that AMC wouldn't have the balls to have a 100% adaptation of the comic. Consider this, they are a station that has mad Breaking Bad and The Walking Dead and even with that in mind I and everyone new that they couldn't do this. Jesse isn't some vigilantly, He's a simple town preacher that gets possess and gains the power to make whatever he says reality. He tells someone to go screw themselves they'll rip off there own...you know, and do it.

    If AMC wants to make there own story, they can make there own story. If they want to adapt, adapt. I just don't want to see the tagline that this is the show fans agree is a good adaptation, because from this trailer it isn't.

    This is going to be a very loose adaptation of the comic, but that's ok. I just hope it's a good show.

    Huge fan of the comic. As cool as it would be to see a direct translation to tv, I'm much more excited for a different take on the story and characters. On a side note, how awesome does Into the Badlands look?

    I'm torn on this one.

    From what I understand, (Spoilers) Preacher ends with the title character killing God, and I'm pretty sick of the anti-God propaganda coming from Hollywood.

    On the other hand, I own the first twelve issues of Preacher many of which are trading for hundreds of dollars just in anticipation of this show, so it would be really nice financially if this show became the next Walking Dead.

    As far as the trailer itself, it looks interesting but doesn't seem to be taking much from the comics. I wonder if they'll gradually wok it in or if this will be an adaption in name only.

    I have not read the comic but to my understanding the comic have a very heavy supernatural presence... this seems to have 0 of that. I understand that adaptations are just that... but walking dead did not take out the zombies for a super-flu... why remove all the magic from this? I really hope its only the trailer not showing it off and not what it appears (that is has nothing)

    Judging by the trailer, it looks good. But there are some noticeable changes here. Jesse Custer's look is slightly different, though fine. The good thing is that he has that Texan accent. However, Cassidy doesn't have shades to cover his eyes. And his accent doesn't sound Irish to me. I'm not sure about Tulip though. We'll get to see more of her, once the show airs.

    Oh yeah, do we get to see Preacher's red eyes when he controls people's actions? If not, I guess that's fine. It doesn't have to be.

    I thought Preacher was about him trying to literally find God? Not being a mercenary disguised as a priest?

    I heard someone say that show going start off with Jessie not having Genesis within him and during mid season finale he gets Genesis or something like that. Sounds dumb to me but if it's going be a good show I will give it a try.

    The show better not be some bootlegged version of an amazing comic and they better do Angelville justice.

    Though I am quite worried about the amount of censorship that the Preacher comic will be put through since it's on AMC, I'm still excited about my favorite comic story-line being adapted into a tv series.. The trailer doesn't look like it has much relation to the comic, but I'll withhold my comments until the first episode. I hope it does well.
