This was a major concern of mine going in. And (I don't think this is a spoiler), the show really doesn't do the comic justice. BUT it also doesn't try to. They change a lot. At first I was kind of 'eh' on it because it doesn't follow the comic enough.
That being said, I warmed up to it and it's an enjoyable show. 'Preacher' the comic is pretty much impossible to make into a tv show, even on a pay channel. It'd be too much of a hassle. So they didn't really try to adapt it. Like I told my buddy when he was iffy on it: "It's a good show, it's just not a good adaptation".
