(W) Jack Kirby (A) Jack Kirby (CA) Rian Hughes
For the first time, DC collects Jack Kirby's legendary run of the Fourth World titles in oversized Absolute editions! These comics spanned galaxies, from the streets of Metropolis to the far-flung twin worlds of New Genesis and Apokolips, as cosmic-powered heroes and villains struggled for supremacy, and the world-conquering Darkseid adventured across Earth for the deadly Anti-Life Equation. Collects SUPERMAN'S PAL JIMMY OLSEN #133-145, FOREVER PEOPLE #1-6, NEW GODS #1-6, MISTER MIRACLE #1-6, plus extra features.

PREACHER #1-26 are collected in this new Absolute edition! Merging with a bizarre force called Genesis, preacher Jesse Custer possesses the power of "The Word," an ability to make people do whatever he utters! Joined by his gun-toting girlfriend Tulip and hard-drinking vampire Cassidy, Custer begins a violent and riotous journey across the country to find God.
(W) Garth Ennis (A) Steve Dillon (CA) Glenn Fabry
In these tales from PREACHER #27-40, presented in DC's Absolute format for the first time, Jesse and Tulip are reunited at last. Together with Cassidy, they head for New Orleans in the hope of finding the secret buried in Jesse's psyche. And while Cassidy and Tulip face the painfully pretentious Enfants du Sang, Jesse taps into some dark magic-all while Herr Starr gathers his forces against the trio. And, against all odds, Arseface finds fame as a singer! Also includes THE SAINT OF KILLERS #1-4 and the specials ONE MAN'S WAR, CASSIDY-BLOOD AND WHISKEY, THE GOOD OLD BOYS and THE STORY OF YOU-KNOW-WHO.
(W) Garth Ennis (A) Steve Dillon (CA) Glenn Fabry
In these tales from issues #41-66 and PREACHER SPECIAL: TALL IN THE SADDLE #1, Jesse Custer's dark journey to find God takes a detour as he becomes the sheriff of a troubled Texas town. Then, Custer decides it's high time to renew his quest to find God and hold Him accountable for his actions. As the series winds up, Jesse makes amends with Tulip, then seeks revenge against his former friend Cassidy for the things the Irish vampire did to her when they both believed the Preacher to be dead.

The rain lashes the grassy dunes of Brody Island, and seagulls scream above the bay.
