Well that was....dark.

3.5 stars. So this book deals with possession. Our main character, Kyle, dealt with people being possessed around him growing up. His mom, wife and kid. He never knew what was happening. Then a reverend who deals with possession brings Kyle along with him one time and the both realize Kyle has the ability to burn demons out of people. So now they want to try it with other people. Cool idea. However the story does build up really slow but I still found myself interested in what was going to happe...

I really enjoyed Kirkman's Walking Dead back in the day, but quit around volume 10 because it got unremittingly bleak. I simply wasn't enjoying it any more. This series deals with supernatural horror but it's more of a mystery as opposed to nihilistic apocalyptic horror. Still dark at times, but much more my speed.

I'd never heard of Kirkman's Outcast, but it was another of the Halloween Horror comics my friend (view spoiler)[ Thank you, spooky friend! (hide spoiler)] sent to me in a goodie basket, and so far it's one of my top picks!I may have put off reading it because the art is less than appealing, but another friend dubbed it an R-rated Supernatural, so that pretty much bumped it up to the top of my list. And you know what? The kid was kind of right! Now, I won't go so far as to compare it...

Find all of my reviews at: http://52bookminimum.blogspot.com/WARNING: EVEN THOUGH NOTHING REALLY HAPPENS IN THIS VOLUME, SOME OF YOU MAY CONSIDER WHAT IS POSTED BELOW TO BE SPOILERS OF ALL THE NON-HAPPENINGSOh snap, I just gave something by Robert Kirkman a not-so-great rating. Hold on a sec so I can gear up . . . Alright. Bring on the pain (and insults to my intelligence).Is there anyone left on the planet who isn’t aware of who Kirkman is? For the three of you who need a refresher, he’s th...

Picked this up on a whim and didn’t know what to expect, but it was solidly entertaining. Who doesn’t love a good possession story? I mean, I love reading about people who have marijuana and…Wait, what? Different kind of possession story? DEMONIC possession? That’s creepy. Right. Got it.So, yeah—this was appropriately creepy, and I like that it had a rural, set-in-the-past vibe even though it wasn’t really set in the past…it added to the creepy (everything seems creepier when you’re beset by the...

Robert Kirkman has made a name for himself turning a horror sub-genre best known for its superficial shock value and gore, the zombie sub-genre, into something more sprawling, sustainable, and TV-friendly: a character-driven drama... with zombies, yes, but mostly just in the background. In his introduction to the first volume of The Walking Dead, Kirkman writes:“For me the worst part of every zombie movie is the end. I always want to know what happens next… I just want to keep going… The Walking...

I received an arc from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review This graphic novel was about exorcism and a guy who needed to conquer his personal demons. Interesting premise but it wasn't executed well. A huge disappointment considering this is a work of Kirkman. Not even close to how good Walking Dead is.It started off quite good. The introduction seemed to offer a lot but while the novel progressed, it slowly lost its momentum. Nothing happened for the most part of this. A lot of jibbe

I've never read a Kirkman book before and I really don't like zombies, they bore me.I've seen the reviews on this from other members and I can see why it doesn't strike a chord with some, but IMO it was great. It just really worked for me.Everyone thinks he beat his wife and kids because his mum beat him for years, but that's not the truth! There's something more sinister behind it and Kyle starts to understand this after years and years of horrible changes in the people around him. The artwork

Kyle Barnes is an outcast exorcist. He exorcises demons - but he can’t exorcise his own personal demons! Ironyyyyyyy! In this book we’ll meet a kindly reverend who’ll team up with Kyle to rid West Virginia of as many possessed people (which turns out to be quite a few!) as they can in between moping sessions. Settle in, folks, this is volume one of probably several dozen if his other titles Invincible and The Walking Dead are anything to go by, because Kirkman’s more interested in setting up lon...

A set-up volume about what appears to be a long series about demon possession in a small town. Kyle, our (tortured) hero is the "outcast" who is good at exorcism. He teams up with preacher Anderson who also is good at exorcism, though in the more traditional religious way. Kyle and the preacher have their own "demons" from the past to work on. Kyle is estranged from his wife and daughter, for instance. Nothing surprising happens, really, but it's good, solid.I'm not a big fan of Kirkman's writin...

The Walking Dead for the demonic possession set. Paul Azacleta's art fits the mood of the book. Robert Kirkman has cooked himself up another franchise. I could easily see this as a series on AMC. Well, I just googled it and it turns out it's going to be on Cinemax instead.

It's okay. Slow, but never gets tense. Not particularly scary.

I read a handful of Walking Dead volumes, and I’ve never really loved them. It’s difficult to put my finger on what it is that just leaves me feeling kind of eh about them. When I first saw this volume of Robert Kirkman’s new venture I was excited. Not because it was Robert Kirkman but because for a moment I thought it was a new volume of Revival. The cover really looks like it could be in the same world as that interesting take on what would happen if the dead came back to life, but not as mons...

Another rereadjust because it was at the library and I like it

Also available on the WondrousBooks blog. Hmm...Hmmmmm...I read this a couple of days ago and if I had rated this then, it might have gotten 4 stars. Writing the review now, I feel further away from the story and not that impressed by the memory of it.I have had this for almost half a year, but my main motivation to finally read it, was the fact that I saw the TV show trailer and it looked very promising. I am still looking forward to the show and I do plan to continue reading this when the n

You can find my review on my blog by clicking here.This is actually the first series I’ve started that’s written by Robert Kirkman. Don’t hurt me! I’m up to date with the Walking Dead TV show (who’s ready for season 7’s big reveal?) and I do plan on checking out the very comics that brought the show to life (in some twisted way). While Robert Kirkman is a tour de force in the comic sphere, it’s not far-fetched to wonder if he can continue strive in the business by delivering new and exciting sto...

I was excited when I started, disappointed by the time I finished. Not bad, not great, not recommended. There are better choices available in the graphic novel market. Maybe it's better if going in with lower expectations. I have no plans to read volume two.

I received this from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. 3.5 stars. Here's the blurb: "Kyle Barnes has been plagued by demonic possession all his life and now he needs answers. Unfortunately, what he uncovers along the way could bring about the end of life on Earth as we know it." This first volume was a good introduction, but I'm left with a whole lot more questions than answers, and there wasn't anything revealed that seemed to threaten the end of life on Earth. The artwork was good, a...

Mysterious evil stranger to exorcist priest after being asked his name:“You know me by many names for I am Legion, but you can call me Ray, or you can call me J, or you can call me Johnny, or you can call me Sonny, or you can call me Junie, or you can call me Junior; now you can call me Ray J, or you can call me RJ, or you can call me RJJ, or you can call me RJJ Jr but you doesn't hasta call me Johnson!".”*sigh*How about if I just call you, Mitchell Satan? Any graphic novel that can make this gu...
