Ever since reading the book I read as much of Alan Moore as I can.

Another graphic novel I am waiting for to be made into a movie or series on HBO, showtime, or some other pay channel is a series by Garth Ennis calle "Preacher" totally awsome and totally messed up. A story about a bastard child of an angle and demoness, a drunken vampire and a preacher in search of God to find out why he abandoned heaven...
Its gonna be a movie with Paul Bettany and I think it comes out in August.

I can't wait for "The Walking Dead" which will be airing on AMC and is being directed by Frank Durabont who also directed Shawshank Redepmtion, The Green Mile, and The Mist. I wish it was gonna be done by HBO to match the grittyness of the books, but I've heard that late night AMC shows sometimes get away with things you can't do on primetime.

That movie is called "Priest" I read the plot and its not the same as Preacher, in Preacher he is buddies with the vampire in the story...

Preacher (comics) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This will give a good insight to what it is all about... Trust me the hardcore Christans will be upset with this when they discover that in the story that a secret group of Christans kept the bloodline of Christ a straight line by in-breeding the offspring....
