Preacher Is A Book That Somehow Allows

It's Nice To Be In A Situation Where The Two Books That I Write For A Sort Of Regular Monthly Income Are Also Works That I Enjoy Immensely, Rather Than Them Being Some Kind Of Bread And Butter, Do It Because You Have To Do It.

The Comics I Read As A Kid Were Much More Influenced By Tv And Movies. Encountering Superheroes As An Adult Without That Kind Of Childhood Sentimentality, It Just Doesn't Allow You, Or In My Case At Least, It Wouldn't Let Me Take The Characters Seriously.

Wouldn't Want To Write The X-men, And I Suppose The X-men Is The Ultimate Marvel Comic, And I Really Wouldn't Want To Go Anywhere Near It At All, Although On The Other Had I Wouldn't Mind Having A Crack At Something Like The Punisher.

I'm The One Who Steps From The Shadows, All Trenchcoat And Cigarette And Arrogance, Ready To Deal With The Madness. Oh, I've Got It All Sewn Up. I Can Save You. If It Takes The Last Drop Of Your Blood, I'll Drive Your Demons Away. I'll Kick Them In The Bollocks And Spit On Them When They're Down And Then I'll Be Gone Back Into Darkness, Leaving Only A Nod And A Wink And A Wisecrack. I Walk My Path Alone... Who Would Walk With Me?

Yeah, Hitman I Suppose Is Most Of The Time A Lighter Read Than Preacher; It Was Always Going To Be.
