Anyone who has had the pleasure of reading any or all of this Vertigo/DC comic series will be glad to hear that HBO has picked up the rights for a series. This is good news because a few studios were trying to pick it up as a 2 hour movie. For those not in the know the entire Preacher story from start to finish ran 66 comics (not to mention the 4 or 5 other mini-series or one shots). This would of never worked in a 2 hour movie format. The bad news is that the pilot is being written by Mark Steven Johnson, the man behind Daredevil and the upcoming Ghost Rider. I'm crossing my fingers....
