From the creator of The Walking Dead..akan tayang June 2016

Outcast, based on the Skybound/Image comic title by creator Robert Kirkman and artist Paul Azaceta, follows Kyle Barnes, a young man who has been plagued by demonic possession all his life. Now, with the help of Reverend Anderson, a country preacher with personal demons of his own, Kyle embarks on a journey to find answers to obtain a normal life he has never known. But what Kyle discovers could change his fate — and the fate of the world — forever.

Patrick Fugit (Gone Girl, Almost Famous) stars as Kyle, a man searching for answers, and for redemption, who sequesters himself from those he loves for fear of causing greater hurt. Philip Glenister (“Life on Mars”) stars as Reverend Anderson, a West Virginia evangelist who believes he is a soldier in God’s holy war against the forces of evil on Earth. An inveterate drinker and gambler, he doesn’t believe God intends people to sweat the small stuff. Gabriel Bateman (Stalker) stars as Joshua Austin, an eight-year-old who lives across town from Kyle. To his family’s dismay, Joshua appears to be in the clutches of demonic possession, but there’s something very different about this possession and its connection to Kyle Barnes.

Cinemax debuted the trailer for its new horror series, Outcast at New York Comic Con in October. The pilot episode, set to air in 2016, is being directed by Adam Wingard, who oversaw the fantastic You’re Next in 2011, which is the trivia enthusiast’s way of saying that the series is sure to be a Walking Dead-sized hit. You’ll love it, but you should love the comic first. It’s the best thing Robert Kirkman has ever written.

The Outcast comic follows Kyle Barnes, who has been plagued by demons since he was a child. Barnes partners up with a likable local priest, and the two men check in on former possession victims, only to realize that demons are far more powerful, and more present, than anyone had imagined. Kirkman’s demons aren’t cheesy; they’re complex beings who respect the series’ primary villain, an elderly man who could be Satan, but might be God. This old man follows Kyle around, trying to prevent his attempts at exorcisms and, when asked about his identity, replies simply, “You know who I am.”

Kirkman’s Walking Dead empire, which includes the comic books, series-inspired video game, and two shows, is built on a story with huge gaps in energy. Although The Walking Dead inspires a massive number of weekly viewers, it’s been criticized for losing sight of what makes a horror story watchable: stakes and monsters. Where The Walking Dead sometimes succumbs to cloyingly heartfelt conversations, Outcast is just bleak and hard and scary.

Kirkman’s demon-comic, compared to his zombie-comic, is quiet and tense. Artist Paul Azaceta plays with light and shadow in a more nuanced way than Tony Moore, who illustrates The Walking Dead. Azaceta’s details, like the bulging eye of a possessed little boy, jump off the page.

Outcast’s Kyle Barnes broods and reflects on past trauma, while Rick Grimes moves relentlessly forward. The characters on Walking Dead need to survive above all else, and secondary objectives warm peacefully on the backburner. Outcast, however, has two competing arcs: Kyle’s quest to determine why demons are drawn to him and the growing global threat of demons who have inhabited humans for hundreds of years. The common thread in the comics is the art. The Walking Dead comics now feel like a means to an end — they are no more artistically exciting than the TV series — but Outcast is its own work of visual rhetoric.
