Grim post apocalyptic wild western madness. "The way My Dad tells it There used to be men called SYNTISTS who said a time wood come when the sun wood start to die." Follow a small group of survivors as they make their way across the desolate sea-bed with a man they know only as "The Pilgrim" to keep them safe from pirates. According to Ennis the inspiration for the series came when Preacher was ending and he "wanted to push the idea of the classic Western or action anti-hero a little bit more than I normally would..." The result is like something you'd find in classic 2000AD: bizarre situations and pitch-black humour. "Let's eat."
