Image have released the following press release for Robert Kirkman’s new series.
OUTCAST BY KIRKMAN & AZACETA #1, debuting this week in a special double-sized first issue for just $2.99, introduces Kyle Barnes, his tragic past, and his unusual gift. Kirkman and Azaceta are zeroing in on demonic possession in this all-new dark and suspenseful series. This eerie tale blends the supernatural with a realistic setting, a characteristic of Kirkman’s storytelling that earned him early praise and success with THE WALKING DEAD. OUTCAST BY KIRKMAN & AZACETA’s tone echoes the grave, dread-building suspense of The Exorcist and The Sixth Sense while developing a complicated and tormented protagonist evocative of The Ghost Whisperer. Demons are here, demons are real, and Barnes is at the center of it all.
The demand for the series is so high that it has already sold out at the distributor level, the latest in a series of fan-favorite debuts from Image Comics and Skybound. This hotly anticipated #1 issue will be rushed to a second printing in order to meet customer demand and satiate the droves of THE WALKING DEAD fans in search of the next great comic. For fans of digital editions, OUTCAST BY KIRKMAN & AZACETA #1 remains available for purchase across all platforms, including the Image Comics website (imagecomics.com) the official Image Comics iOS app, Comixology’s website (comixology.com), iOS, Android, and Google Play.
Kirkman went on to thank the comic community…..
“The Walking Dead was grown out of the direct market, everything it’s gone on to become wouldn’t have been possible without support from the comic book retailer community,”
This second printing of OUTCAST BY KIRKMAN & AZACETA will be available on 7/30.
OUTCAST BY KIRKMAN & AZACETA #2 will hit shelves on 7/30.
Having featured Outcast #1 in our Comic Wish List We The Nerdy will definitely be picking it up this week and be sure to look out for the review!
