But I am going to nerd out just a little here.
My old Starbucks boss is the closest thing I have to a pop-culture dictionary. Movies, music, books, you name it and if he hasn't personally seen, heard, or read it he at least knows about it. Needless to say he's not only flippin' awesome but he's also pretty useful to have around.
Ever since I started working for him last summer he's been loaning me comic books- well, graphic novels- to read. I had read a few before I met him; namely the first two in Neil Gaiman's Sandman series and Jhonen Vasquez's Johnny the Homicidal Maniac and Squee. None of which truly measured up to my favorite series...[drum roll]...Preacher by Garth Ennis and Steve Dillon.
I don't know what it is about the series... maybe it's because Jesse Custer (note picture) is from Texas, and therefor more awesome and bad-ass than most. It doesn't really matter why I love Preacher; what matters is that you read it.
