Preacher or Sandman?- first time comick book expieriance

Hello there, comic book fans, i have a quick question for you all. The last comick book that i bought/reed was spiderman vs carnage or something like that ( it was 1997 i think and i was 10 years old).Recently isnpired buy listening to LEOG i wan't to read some really good comic book (not so into super heroes)

So my question to you is simple, should i pick up Preacher or Sandman (The LEOG guys are refering to those books as the moast importent non- super hero comics of all time) I read the first issue of Preacher online few days ago and i was fucking loving it, But i don't know for sure witch of those books will be more suitable for a guy who didn't read a "funny book" in ages.

So i'm open for youre suggestions, thanks in advance

ps. sorry for the grammar i'm polish and on xanax right know :)
peace.

Do you read fantasy and classical literature for fun? Are you at least familiar with it? Are you a fan or art? Then get some "Sandman" books.; ▶ Reply to This

Right know i'm participating in an auction for 8 complete Preacher books and it's 200zlotys (about 50$) so i might get it, becouse Sandman Books are really hard to find
in my fu****g country.

Thanks for help everybody.; ▶ Reply to This

Seems to me you'd probably dig "Preacher" more.; ▶ Reply to This

Hell, get .both; ▶ Reply to This
