The ever-growing list of television shows
based on comic books just keeps getting longer and longer, with DC’s Legends of
Tomorrow being the latest title to make me want to throw a hammer at my TV
screen. But there are a couple of creepy new titles on their way that I’m
genuinely excited for.
AMC’s upcoming series Preacher just
released this hair-raising 20-second clip that gives us just a taste of the
mayhem that is to come. Preacher will star Dominic Cooper as, you guessed it, a
preacher who’s inhabited by some mysterious force that gives him unusual powers
and thrusts him into a conflict with characters from heaven and hell.
The clip is short but promising. And this
new clip is notable for featuring a split-second shot of the um… aptly named
character, Arseface. The teaser is set to air this Sunday during The Walking
Dead’s Season 6 finale.

Speaking of Walking Dead, another one of
Robert Kirkman’s comic book series is coming to TV with Cinemax’s Outcast.
Outcast won’t debut until June 3 and it’s
already been renewed for its second season. Outcast stars Patrick Fugit as Kyle
Barnes, a man who has been plagued by demon possessions throughout his life and
is aided by a preacher on a journey to regain his normal life. Sounds oddly
familiar, doesn’t it?

I happen to own two Outcast comics and
greatly enjoy their art style and ambiance. I suspect Outcast will be something
of a more classic horror TV series while Preacher will reflect a little more…
personality — at least, if Arseface has anything to say about it!
What do you think about the new teaser
trailers? Which series are you more excited to check out? I’m talking to no
one. If you’re actually a human being who’s reading this right now, comment
below. I’ll die of surprise.
