Outcast (trademarked as Outcast by Kirkman and Azaceta) is an ongoing American comic book series created by writer Robert Kirkman and artist Paul Azaceta.
It is a supernatural horror story that chronicles Kyle Barnes, a man whose loved ones have been involved in demonic possession since his childhood. With the help of a clergyman, he tries as an adult 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 with Cinemax which began airing in June 2016.
Outcast was officially announced on October 2013 at New York Comic Con, after two years of development. Kirkman said it was the first time that he already had a clear ending in mind when he began to write the comic book. He described Outcast as an epic horror story, hoping to give real scares to readers, unlike The Walking Dead style. Kirkman said that orders for the first issue were higher than for the most recent issue of The Walking Dead.
Cinemax picked up the rights to produce a show based on the comic in 2013. Ten episodes were announced to be produced with Patrick Fugit (Kyle Barnes) and Philip Glenister (Reverend Anderson) as the leading roles for the television series, which premiered in June 2016.
The first issue of the comic was released in June 2014 to positive reviews.
