Preacher

[Aroura]

Not familiar with the comic book, I watched most of season 1. It just never clicked with me. My husband enjoyed it at first, but eventually just grew bored of it. It didn't help that it felt like I was watching as much commercial as program. But even aside from that, I just couldnt get into the story or characters. I can see why it is popular, it just wasn't for me.

I've read some of the comics.

The first season of the show came nowhere near the quality.

And then the comic's artist, Steve Dillon, died.

Yeah RIP Dillon. A lot of people didn't like his style but I loved it. Super deliberate lines, very distinctive eyes. I actually stopped reading Punisher for a bit, because he was on it when he died and I didnt want to read Punisher and be sad haha

Yeah Dillon's art can be pretty divisive.  I think he does a lot of good work, but there's some legit criticism when he uses the "Dillon face" for every other character.

Frank Castle went to the stylist and said "Give me the Logan." Lol

Yeah, I definitely understand the criticism. I just like how he never danced around a shape. I'd say that 80% of comic book artists opt to suggest a shape, and so it's refreshing when someone like Dillon comes along and straight up defines the shape with unbroken lines. Now, did everybody have to look closely related? No haha Just look at Gabriel Walta's work on The Vision and the current Occupy Avengers to see deliberate lines with variety.

(Funny enough both Dillon and Walta worked on the Thunderbolt Ross' Thunderbolts run, a line up that included Punisher)

The comics are SO radically different and SO much better, like leaps and bounds better, it's worth getting your hands on all the volumes, once you start you probably won't be able to put them down.

The only thing I found remotely interesting about it was the idea of Genesis going through numerous other preachers around the world and exploding them from the inside (especially that comment about Tom Cruise being one of its victims). I mean, they could have done the exact same story, only added those little creative extras to it without losing any of the original content.
