OUTCAST BY KIRKMAN & AZACETA CASTS OUT NEW STORY ARC

New York Times bestselling writer/creator Robert Kirkman (THE WALKING DEAD, INVINCIBLE) and artist Paul Azaceta (Daredevil, Punisher Noir) will launch a new story arc of their ongoing Skybound horror series OUTCAST BY KIRKMAN & AZACETA this November.

Previously in OUTCAST BY KIRKMAN & AZACETA, Kyle Barnes began to piece together clues about his strange abilities and plague of tragedies. He discovered a new sense of purpose, but also a growing concern for his ostensible partner Reverend Anderson.

In OUTCAST BY KIRKMAN & AZACETA #13, Kyle is faced with the most emotional exorcism yet as he begins to learn more about his abilities and what’s really going on around him.

“The first year or so of The Walking Dead and Invincible were spent building characters and the world around them before things really ramped up. Outcast is no different,” said Kirkman. “So far this series has set up a mythology that has a lot of mystery and intrigue. Well, now it's time for answers! Starting with issue 13, we're going to finally start peeling back the layers and show you more of what's going on with Kyle Barnes, why these demons appear to be attracted to him and what it really means to be an Outcast.”

OUTCAST BY KIRKMAN & AZACETA #13 (Diamond code: SEP150593) hits stores Wednesday, November 25th. Final order cutoff deadline for retailers is Monday, November 2nd.

NOWHERE MEN RETURNS, WELCOMES NEW SERIES ARTIST
The bestselling, fan-favorite series welcomes new artist and a new story arc

Bestselling writer Eric Stephenson, Publisher at Image Comics and co-creator of THEY’RE NOT LIKE US, teams up with new artist Dave Taylor, the returning Eisner Award-winning colorist Jordie Bellaire (PRETTY DEADLY, THEY’RE NOT LIKE US), and Fonografiks for the eagerly anticipated new story arc of NOWHERE MEN. 

The next chapter of the Eisner Award-nominated series will begin with NOWHERE MEN #7 and will hit stores this January 2016. 

"It's very cool to work on something you admire,” said Taylor. “My respect for the first series is making me work extra hard to fulfil Eric's concept to the end, in fact, this is the best work I've done for years." 

Best known for his work on Batman and Judge Dredd, British artist Dave Taylor will join the creative team on the fan-favorite series that follows scientists Dade Ellis, Simon Grimshaw, Emerson Strange, and Thomas Walker’s rise to fame and simultaneous fall from grace when World Corp.’s more unorthodox experimentations begin to go awry. 

Stephenson added: “It’s really exciting to finally be returning to Nowhere Men. I’ve admired Dave’s work since I first saw it back in the ‘90s, so learning that he was a fan of of Nowhere Men and interested in working on the book was nothing short of amazing. It’s awesome to be working with him, and I’m looking forward to seeing how his style develops as we further explore the landscape created by World Corp.” 

NOWHERE MEN #7 begins an all-new story arc and picks up where NOWHERE MEN, VOL. 1’s cliffhanger ending left off and will feature art by Emi Lenox (PLUTONA, EMITOWN) in the form of the sketch diary of Emerson Strange’s daughter. 

NOWHERE MEN #7 (Diamond Code NOV150515) will hit comic book stores on Wednesday, January 13th. The final order cutoff deadline for comic book retailers is Monday, December 21st.
