Some comic book adaptations try to stick as close to the source material as humanly possible. “Preacher” isn’t one of those. Speaking to Entertainment Weekly, Rogen and Goldberg revealed that they initially took a page from "Sin City" and originally planned to do an almost "frame-by-frame" adaptation of the comic. But the producers decided to shake up the formula and start with a less frantic pace.
The show will spend more time exploring Jesse’s preaching career before his real mission begins. And the fact that villain Odin Quincannon (Jackie Earle Haley) is a recurring character in Season 1 — despite not appearing until the final two years of the comic — suggests that the show will be shaking up the conflict in very significant ways.
