This article containsmajor spoilersfor thePreachercomics and probably the TV series, too.

Its alsocompletely unsuitable for younger or more sensitive readers.

In the world ofPreacher, horror is the eleventh commandment.

But were not here to talk about that sappy stuff.

An entire church burns to death, and thats just the start.

Ennis and DillonsPreacheropens with a church full of parishioners horribly burning to death.

TC Buggers a Live Chicken

TC and his pal Jody were Jesse Custers childhood tormentors.

They worked for Jesses evil Grandma Custer and kept order on her sprawling estate.

TC was a clearly inbred redneck whose sexual proclivities were just as disturbing as his ghoul like face.

Yes,Preacherwent there.

Sadly, Jesses best friend witnessed TC choking his chicken and was killed by the enraged poultry violator.

Theres a Kid Whose Face Looks Like a Puckered Ass

Ah, poor Arseface.

But he lived, and the results arent pretty.

Preacherfans will never forget the reveal of the abused boy who would come to be known as Arseface.

Ennis had a blast telling Aresfaces side story asPreacherrolled on.

Cassidy met Coltrane at Woodstock and the two became fast friends.

Jesus DeSade

The character of Jesus DeSade probably epitomizes thePreacherexperience.

What starts out as a humorous romp through fetishism and strange eroticism soon takes a truly dark turn.

The whole building now, not just the weird Nazi bartender and the guy in the teddy bear costume.

But this is where the mastery of Ennis and Dillon comes into play.

What has been a very funny scene got very real, very quickly.

Wub

Poor Herr Starr.

Starr is a master strategist and needs Jesse Custer to complete the Orders domination of the world.

At one point, Starr is horribly injured and left for dead in a desert.

By the way, inbred villains are kind of a motif inPreacher.

The youngest Chunt, Cyrus, has issues (see what happens after generations of inbreeding?)

and keeps uttering Wub whenever he sees Starr.

One day, Cyrus comes to Starr alone holding a gun and a roll of toilet paper.

It turns out Wub means Wipe, because no one has wubbed Cyrus in a long time.

Now, lets dissect this.

Cyrus is a cannibal with a butt that hasnt been wubbed in perhaps months.

So basically, Starr is forced to wub little bits of human remains from Cyrus nether regions.

Have fun with this one AMC!

Jesse took up the badge and became sheriff of Salvation and opposed Odin.

Now, all that is riveting, but where does the disturbing come in?

Odin would frequently go into his shed to relax.

From there, readers would hear Odin saying things like Spread the cheese and other disturbing utterances.

The image was Steve Dillons most twisted visual in his entire run onPreacher.

The Saint was once a frontiersman and former soldier who happily lived off the land with his family.

The soldiers quest was fraught with peril and he was delayed.

Swearing vengeance, the soldier gunned down all the bandits save the leader.

His gun jammed and the bandit killed the soldier, leaving his vengeance incomplete.

The soldier may have died that day, but the Saint of Killers was born.

He went down to Hell, but the killing didnt stop.

He gunned down every demon and devil he saw.

The Saint was sent to heaven, but the killingstilldidnt stop, he gunned down every angel he saw.

The afterlife sent him to Earth and made the soldier the Patron Saint of All Killers.

And the killing didnt stop.

This brings the Saint into Jesse Custers story.

The Saint is charged with tracking Custer and…well.
