Robert Kirkman, creator of
global entertainment phenomenon THE WALKING DEAD, and Paul Azaceta have
summoned a new industry hit with OUTCAST BY KIRKMAN & AZACETA, the second
printing of which has sold out immediately. In order to meet customer demand,
Skybound/Image Comics will be sending this debut issue back to press for a 3rd
printing.
The first new series
written by Kirkman himself in three years and since the premiere of the AMC’s
most watched television show adaptation of THE WALKING DEAD, this is the
perfect new series for readers to jump on to. Comic Book Resources predicted of
OUTCAST, “Given the quality in this first issue, it's without doubt that
readers will return for the next piece of the puzzle.”
OUTCAST BY KIRKMAN &
AZACETA #1, boasts a special double-sized first issue for just $2.99, and
introduces Kyle Barnes’ plight, his tragic past, and his unusual gift. Kirkman
and Azaceta explore demonic possession and incorporate a subtle creeping terror
that harkens to that of classic horror stories. IGN says of the series,
“Whether you're a fan of things that go bump in the night or just someone who
likes good comics, you can't do much better than Outcast. Kirkman and Azaceta
prove a dynamic and disturbing pairing, crafting a riveting story that's sure
to possess your very soul.”
The demand for the series
has grown at a breakneck pace, with this the second instant-sell-out of the
first issue and is being fast-tracked to a third printing. 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.

AZACETA #2 (Diamond Code MAY140719) will hit shelves on 7/30.
