It seems like the project that will never happen: getting Garth Ennis and Steve Dillon's amazing Preacher comic series adapted to either television or film. There have been several aborted attempts, and it's still very much up in the air as to whether the latest one will fly, but at least now a pilot has been ordered for the proposed AMC series. I still have my doubts that anyone can successfully translate the material out of its original medium and deal with the inevitable push back from religious types, but time will tell.
My love for Preacher is nearly boundless, and it's one of the very few long comic series (75 issues) that I've re-read multiple times. It's also on my short list of comics that I won't be selling as long as I still own any comics. That's how good it is.
