I've seen a mini series floated as an alternative to a film. I could dig a mini. If they tried an ongoing it would almost certainly have to be on HBO.

I liked Saint of Killers! At least in the Ancient History trade. Why don't you like evil!John Wayne? (Although I tend to think of him as Clint). ;)

One good thing about it going to screen is that they'll tone down some of Ennis' usual excesses.

YES. I know there are people who read his work for those excesses, but I'm not one of them. There were times when liking Preacher took effort.
