Preacher, Volume 1: Gone to Texas is a modern American epic of life, death, love, and redemption packed with sex, booze, blood, and bullets - not to mention angels, demons, God, vampires, and deviants of all stripes.

At first glance, the Reverend Jesse Custer doesn't look like anyone special - just another small-town minister slowly losing his flock and his faith. But he's about to come face-to-face with proof that God does indeed exist.

Merging with a bizarre spiritual force called Genesis, Jesse now possesses the power of "the Word," an ability to make people do whatever he utters. He begins a violent and riotous journey across the country in search of answers from the elusive deity.

This volume collects issues #1-7 of the series.
