Wow, what a week! What’s the saying? When God closes a door he opens a window? This week we have the final issue of OUTCAST BY KIRKMAN & AZACETA hitting the shelves. It’s been an amazing run over the course of 48 issues and almost 7 years. I think OUTCAST was the first Robert Kirkman book that launched after I started at Skybound. It’s been amazing seeing the machine work—from launching the book, to working with Cinemax on the TV show, to the toys, to a website, to a podcast… all of it. Awesome times. And at the end of it all, will Kyle Barnes find the peace he deserves? Is that even possible? Huge congratulations to Robert, Paul Azaceta, Elizabeth Breitweiser, Rus Wooton, Sean Mackiewicz, and Jon Moisan!
On the flip side, we also have a new comic premiering! SUMMONERS WAR LEGACY #1 is here! This book is super fun and super vibrant. You’re in really safe hands with this creative team. The story immediately feels like a familiar adventure but has that cross-genre thing that Justin Jordan is so friggin’ good at.
And last, we have REDNECK Vol 5! This collects the TALL TALES story arc, where we turn the clock back and really dig into the lore of Donnie Cates’ Texas vampire tale.
Keep scrolling for a SUMMONERS WAR preview, get to your local comic shop, and stay safe out there!
