Outcast (trademarked as Outcast by Kirkman and Azaceta)[1] is an ongoing American comic book series created by writer Robert Kirkman and artist Paul Azaceta.

It is a supernatural horror that chronicles the story of Kyle Barnes, a man whose loved ones are involved in demonic possession since his childhood. As an adult, with the help of a reverend, he tries to unveil what lies behind the supernatural manifestations and why he seems to carry special peculiarities.

The first issue of the monthly comic was published in 2014 by Image Comics. Before the first release, Kirkman also began to develop a television adaptation, whose rights were bought by Cinemax.[2][3]

Publication history

After a two years long development, the project was officially announced on October 2013 at New York Comic Con.[4] Kirkman said it was the first time that he already had a clear ending in mind when he began to write the comic book;[4] he described Outcast as an epic horror story, hoping to give real scares to readers, unlike The Walking Dead style.[5] In the first issue Kirkman also stated that first orders were higher than the last Walking Dead issue.[5]
