Picks up a little bit of pace, still a slow burn though, without the actual burn.

Again I read these volumes in one sitting. They're so easy to read through cause the writing is top notch and the art is so well crafted, you can't help but love it. We get a little more answers about the Outcast and what they are, but man oh man, what's coming is even more fucked up than you can imagine!

In the first Outcast book we met Kyle Barnes, a divorced mess of a man with a past riddled with seeming demon possession. He mooned over being separated from his wife and kid, he helped out the Reverend Anderson in exorcising some demons, and he wondered what an Outcast was. Satan, or someone like him, possessed an old man and moved into Kyle’s neighbourhood. In the second Outcast book, we catch up with Kyle Barnes, still a divorced mess of a man with a past riddled with seeming – but more and m...

2.5 starsOkay, so this volume continues the story about Kyle Barnes (aka The Outcast), along with Reverend Anderson, trying to solve the mystery of the demonic possession currently plaguing the community. To be honest, this second volume didn't really ignite me as the first one did - the first one introduced me to the set-up, its characters, the scenario, and having established this, the second volume did little to expand on what I already knew. I found it pretty slow going with nothing actually...

2.5, actually.Meh, still slow and kinda boring. Nothing much happens and I find the conversations between Kyle and Reverend Anderson about faith and whatnot to be extremely annoying. It got somewhat better towards the end, so hopefully in the next volume things will pick up pace.

So much better than the first one. Not sure why. I think I had to open my mind more. Such a creepy story, I think I need to reread the first one in order to expand my mind. The Outcast can't run forever!

Day 1 of the 7 consecutive days of comic book reviews on the WondrousBooks blog.Any hopes that I might have had for vast improvement after the first volume are now, sadly, gone. I am not saying that Vol. 2 was necessarily bad, it was just not any better. 1. Absolutely no development on some of the stories they started in Vol. 1. I expected several stories to be continued and I was actually anticipating it, but it did not happen.2. No character improvement that we can speak of. I already finished...

Yes, this story is slow to build. It's been long enough since I read volume 1, that I had trouble remembering what was going on at first. It all came back to me after a bit though. The general theme of Outcast is demonic possession. Kyle Barnes, the titular Outcast, causes physical pain to the demon-possessed with his touch. If he maintains the physical contact long enough, the demon leaves the body in the form of a cloud of black vapor. It's left as an open question whether these are demons in

Slow-paced series about demon possession with a focus on the two main characters Kyle and Rev. Anderson, whose lives are still fallen apart even as they try in their own ways and as a team to exorcise the innumerable demons in their little town. The focus is on deepening the characters, rather than helping us know just what an outcast is or what is making all the evil proliferate, but we know it has something to do with the shape-shifting Satan who's in town. I'm not fully engaged, but I keep re...

This was a pretty cool volume and it focuses on Kyle dealing with what he learnt from last volume regarding Demonic Possessions and then there is the matter of Sidney visiting the dear old Reverend and giving him some mark, while they continue to exorcise people that Reverend thought he had cured in the past and one such happens to be a girl named Sherry. And things go bad and later we learn of something called "The Great Merge" when Sidney is going around town and then somethings happening with...

The Walking Dead It Ain't...Not much happening in this second volume. The book blurb claims that “Kyle is starting to piece together the truth” behind all those cases of demonic possession, but he isn’t exactly making a lot of progress. And even if he did… I mean, how interesting can this “truth” possibly be? A demonic conspiracy? The devil himself? Yawn…To my mind, the title has three problems:a) The topic does not lend itself all that well to the serialized format, and the attempt to turn it i...

I remember back when I picked up the first volume of Outcast. I was just starting to get in to reading comics and graphic novels and I picked it up on a whim based on its description alone. I didn’t even realize that it was written by Robert Kirkman, creator of the uber successful The Walking Dead series until the cashier brought it up.I definitely had some high hopes going into this second volume as the first moved at a rather slow pace and felt like more of a set up or an introduction to a muc...

So this was delivered to me a couple of hours ago and, of course, I had to dive straight in. I absolutely loved the first volume of Outcast and I absolutely loved this volume too. I love the colouring in this, the art is so great and the style suits the horror aspect of the story. Speaking of which, so much more happened in volume two, and a lot of questions are starting to be answered. I just absolutely love this comic series. I can't wait to get my hands on issue 13 and keep following this sto...

When I first started reading these I was unaware that it was a tv series, as well.Evidently, it is. And evidently, it sucks. <--or so they tell me Having not watched the show myself, I can't say for sure how it compares to the comic. I can say I'm really digging this story. Although looking around I see that quite a few of my friends aren't loving it quite as much as I am, so you should probably take that into consideration if you're thinking of plopping down your hard earned cash for this sucke...

I read this straight after Vol 1. I just feel like the plot doesnt play out at a fast pace. Way too slow, and the 2 main protagonists just seen oblivious to whats going on. Still a solid horror but now Im thinking it could be more about an alien invasion.

I feel like this volume was a little better than the last volume. I do enjoy reading these comics but they definitely don't blow my mind yet. I'm hoping it gets better because it's definitely building up to something (known as The Merge). My biggest concern is what happens after The Merge and how long is it going to take to get to that point? I just hope Kirkman doesn't drag it out but I don't know what else he can do. I really like the artwork and the colouring. I would recommend this series if...

I don't know how Robert Kirkman continues to put out all the work he does every month and still maintain the quality, but he does. Another great series even if it's a bit derivative of Revival. Paul Azacleta's art is perfect for this series. Looking forward to the next one!

Bullet Review:Those pesky womenfolk! Always getting rape and abused and possessed by demons! Geez!So volume 2 was interesting - but did we actually gain any ground or answer any questions?? Is Kyle Barnes going to become the next insufferable Marty Stu like Rick Grimes?Will the Reverend make his pentagram a permanent tattoo????

Story is starting to build up. Not much action like the first one, but still worth the read. Hope the next installment we'll get more answer on why they call Kyle "the outcast."

Here we are volume two and we still don't have the answers and neither do the two main characters. I'm interested enough to continue with the series and hope the good guys get a better handle on how to defeat the devil or demons.
