I know I had a post about this a while back, but AMC has given the release date for the new Preacher series based on the comic book series by Garth Ennis and Steve Dillon. It will premiere May 22 right after Fear the Walking Dead. So mark your calendars for a different kind of ride. Here is the trailer that AMC is sharing on their YouTube channel with everyone for a reminder of what the show will be like. I for one can’t wait!:
Preacher Trailer
AMC has released the first trailer for it’s new series Preacher, an adaptation from the Garth Ennis title. Being a cable channel I’m sure AMC will stretch the boundaries like the do with the Walking Dead, but will have to stay confined to a degree. If they did a true adaptation this would have to be on HBO or some other paychannel. However, as good as AMC has done with the Walking Dead, Preacher might be another hit for them. This is one wickedly twisted story…check out the trailer through AMC’s YouTube channel:

DVD Release of Interest
Here are two DVD’s that will be of interest to libraries this week that are comic/animation related. The first is AMC’s Walking Dead Season 1, the adaptation of Robert Kirkman’s Image series Walking Dead. This will definitely appeal to your zombie fans. If your library happens to have the collected editions of the comic book series it would be a great tie-in promotional. The other DVD is a little bit more kid friendly. Disney is bring over Studio Ghibli’s adaptation of Ursula K. LeGuin’s Tales from Earthsea. Again this DVD can provide a tie-in promotional to LeGuin’s novels.
