The King is dead. Long live the King.
If you were to ask anyone familiar with my work what my favorite genre is, they’d probably say horror. And they wouldn’t be entirely wrong. But the truth is, I’ve been a fantasy fan even longer than I’ve been a horror fan. I can talk for hours about the political machinations found in A Song of Ice and Fire, I can still name all twelve swords from Fred Saberhagen’s Book of Swords series by heart, and I’ve been playing D&D for nearly 30 years. So you could say I’m a fan of the genre. And OUTCAST brings my love of horror and fantasy together.
The press release describes the series thusly (yes, I used the word “thusly”):
“OUTCAST tells the story of King Valen Brand. He was a just king and a great warrior until he was killed by a Necromancer in battle and resurrected as one of the walking dead. Now he’s considered an abomination in his own realm, an outcast with only one purpose: to restore his lost soul…”
I don’t think it’s possible for me to express to you just how epic this series is going to be. Think about it. An undead king with only a massive sword and a grudge in his possession, searching for his stolen soul across a land that no longer wants him? I was BORN to write this series.
Issue #1 comes out in December for only $1.00. Yes, you read that right. A buck. And we’re NOT talking about 16 pages of story with a bunch of ads to fill in the gaps. I mean a full, 22 page story. For a dollar. I’m telling you, folks. You. Are. Not. Prepared.
I’ve attached the #1 cover images below to whet your appetite. Gor…geous! Oh, and we’re doing something REALLY cool with the Joe Jusko limited variant cover so stay tuned.

Hello MAN! Although I prefer such things as collections I will put this book on my pull list just to support it. And ceterum censeo we still need a Lucifer ongoing. Best Wolf
Yes, please do! And just so you know, a Hexed ongoing is in the works so stay tuned.
Wow!!!
Do you already know the artist for Hexed? I so do hope it's Emma Rios.
Not yet. It's still in the early, early phases so nothing has been decided on yet. I love Emma's work and would be thrilled if she's able to do it, but we'll just have to wait and see.
I want to take this moment to say that I really love this blog. It has been a good resource of information for me. Thank you so much
