I LOVED the comic books, The Saint of Killers being my favorite character, but it can't be put into an animated series. This needs to be a TV show which is given a LOT of room to work, so it might have to be on a channel that allows a lot of blood and swearing and adult themes. It would also have to have some creative minds behind the adaptation itself. I know Seth Rogen is 1 of the producers, but hopefully they get some good screen writers, maybe even the comic book writers themselves, to make the story fit on either the small or big screen. I do think it's a great story to be put on TV.

Google is your best friend, but basically it's about a Texas preacher who gets the essence of a supernatural entity inside him and he has the ability to make people do whatever he wants. He has a best friend who is an Irish vampire, and a total a$$hole. Sometimes in a good way. He's definitely entertaining. Then there's my favorite character, The Saint of Killers, who is an Old West gunslinger who ended up in hell after killing the people who murdered his wife and son. He is angry at God for letting it happen, and after torturing him for a long time, the Devil frees him to get his revenge. He also gives him a couple of six-shooters, called "God-killers" which the Saint promptly uses to kill the Devil on his way out of Hell. The creators have stated they based him on Clint Eastwood's character from the film Unforgiven. The preacher, named Jesse Custer (note the initials) also takes off in search of God whom he believes abandoned humanity, or is at least negligent of us, and he intends to make things right. That's basically the story, following those 2 main characters and a few other minor ones, with the conclusion of who reaches God 1st. The Preacher to make him own his responsibilities, or the Saint to avenge his family's death? Very good story. I do have to warn you, if you have strong Christian beliefs, it may be offensive. I would love this series to become a TV show, but it's brutal and harsh, and I doubt it could be put on basic cable, and definitely not on a network. Maybe on HBO or Showtime or something.
