While Preacher is one of my all time fav's I thought he ended it very weakly. And I was pissed when all the shit happened with Cass and Tulip....that just didn't feel right and made me uneasy about my second favorite character in the book.
but I'm glad to hear that Ennis got the movie greenlit....I know alot of the fans think it'll ruin the series but I'm interested to see what Ennis can do script wise.

: ...but that's about it...it was definitely the coolest comic I've ever read, and could be translated directly to film...it's like reading the coolest movie never made...I love Ennis, he was a great flair for pacing and dialoge, and the theology he devised for Preacher was pretty interesting...the series sort of diddled out the last few issues, probably lasted 4-5 issues too long, but still, an excellent story...I think the ending needed to be "bigger." The series was so big and outrageous and loud and flashy and violent that the ending (Yes, I know what Ennis was trying to do, but you can't be emotionally barren the whole of the series and then try to make our hearts swell in the last few pages) can't help but feel like a letdown...
