Number 52 - Outcast volume 4 - Kirkman & Azaceta


 The saga continues

The conspiracy widens at the same time that it tightens its net around Kyle and his family.

The resolution to the cliffhanger we were left with at the end of volume 3 was resolved slowly and violently, which was good.  There are no "And with one bound he was free" in this storytelling.

This series is shaping up to be more satisfying than The walking Dead was. the Walking Dead, for all its greatness treaded very familiar ground. This started in the realms of a standard exorcist tale but has expanded to something much more far reaching. 

These aren't normal demons (if they even are demons) and all the Power-of-Christ-compels-yous in the world won't have any real effect.

Volumes 5 and 6 are on my shopping list for the weekend.
