Garth Ennis and STEVE DILLON's groundbreaking Vertigo series is finally given the Absolute Edition treatment with ABSOLUTE PREACHER VOL. 1! Merging with a bizarre spiritual force called Genesis, Texan Preacher Jesse Custer becomes completely disillusioned with the beliefs that he had dedicated his entire life to. Now possessing the power of "The Word," an ability to make people do whatever he utters, Custer begins a violent and riotous journey across the country. Joined by his gun-toting girlfriend Tulip and the hard drinking Irish vampire Cassidy, the Preacher loses faith in both man and God as he witnesses dark atrocities and improbable calamities during his exploration of America. Collects issues #1-26 of PREACHER in an oversized Absolute Edition format, complete with a new slipcase and bonus material!

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.

THE BIG CHILL • THE PUNISHER's taken the worst of what the backwoods can throw at him and sent it back in pieces. • But his temporary allegiances are over and his arsenal is long gone. • Will that stop Frank? No. No, it won't. There are still plenty of bodies to put in that cold, cold ground. Parental Advisory
