Preacher series does not come close to the quality of the source material. The comics are far better than the series, in my opinion.

Yeah, what I was saying is definitely not a universal opinion. It's just that Ennis' work seems to be more for some than others. What I've seen people say is that they prefer it toned down a little bit, as adaptations tend to do. Wouldn't mind taking a look at the comic and seeing for myself though.
