“The rest of the comic is an interesting look at the French Quarter of New Orleans, but mostly it is a chance for Ennis to parody the Anne Rice style of vampires by contrasting them with his vampire, Cassidy…
The result is some strong parody work (although I thought that the Neil Gaiman jabs were a bit much – I’ll feature them as a Meta-Message very soon) and really, a compelling story about what happens when you, for lack of a better phrase, “buy into your own hype,” as the other vampire gets into the idea of being a vampire far more than he should.

News: Joe Gilgun cast as Cassidy in AMC’s Preacher: Now this is some damn fine casting. Joe Gilgun, best known for his roles in Misfits and This Is England (along with its TV mini-series sequels), has landed the key role of Cassidy in Seth Rogen & Evan Goldberg’s AMC adaptation of Preacher. Perhaps one of the most iconic characters in non-superhero comic books, Cassidy is a hell-raising, hyper-opinionated Irish vampire, dead for over a century. He joins the titular preacher Jesse Custer (rumours abound that Dominic Cooper is set for the role) and his girlfriend Tulip (the recently cast Ruth Negga) as they travel across the American south in search of the literal God. Outside of the likes of Colin Farrell or an actual undead Irishman, Gilgun is a very good, and slightly unexpected choice for the role, but an encouraging sign that Rogen & Goldberg, and showrunner Sam Catlin, know what they’re doing.
