That's an interesting point. I read the Preacher comics waay back in the day (also 90s, I think) and after I finished them it really did seem to play up Jessie as the tough cowboy-thug-alternative-grunge-priest thing. I enjoyed reading them in the moment but was ambivalent immediately afterwards.
I was impressed with the illustration in OP but it was paired with this emotionally unsophisticated/immature narrative that was just so jarring. There are one-man bands that are similar, where the vocals or music may be top notch, but the rest is cringeworthy.
