I like how the story is moving quickly. Characters are developing and changing as the story progresses, and relationships are evolving in sensible ways in response to the change of events. When these things are are static, the story suffers.

I also like how there's more hope in this story than in The Walking Dead. I don't need a ton of bleak in my life right now....

I'm still pretty interested in this one, but I'm starting to feel a little catfished when it comes to the storyline. Is anyone else out there thinking this feels less demon-y and a little more body snatcher-y? More sci-fi and less horror?
These whatever they are who are possessing people seem to be alien life forms looking for hosts, not evil demonic forces from the pits of hell. Or it's starting to look that way to me, at any rate.



I can't really say that I would be pissed, just that it's not really what I signed up for originally.
Still.
I'm willing to let it play out and see if Kirkman can wow me with his creativity.



What's not really wowing me is the art palate. A lot of the people kind of looks the same, and there are so few colors used on the pages that I can't even try to identify secondary characters by their clothes or hair. I get it, it's a dark story and the art is trying to match it. But it just gets too bland and boring after a while. <--for me



Even with the complaints, it's not enough to turn me off of this one yet. I'm crossing my fingers that it picks up a tad and we get some (not all, just some) answers to what's happening.

I remember the first time I picked up Outcast, Volume 1. It was last summer and I was in HMV in Toronto and the cover caught my eye. Although I admittedly do love judging a book by its cover, a beautiful cover still isn’t enough for me to purchase a book, especially one I hadn’t heard of previously. I proceeded to read the description on the back and that’s when I knew I needed to give this series a read. I didn’t even realize it was written by Robert Kirkman, a.k.a. the creator of The Walking Dead until the lovely cashier mentioned it to me.

Overall, I found the first two volumes of Outcast to be good, but nothing special. Nothing really made me think “wow, this is amazing”. The story moved quite slowly and it didn’t really pick up the pace until the cliffhanger ending of volume two, which was one key factor in my decision to pre-order volume three.

After finishing the second volume, I had heard the news that Outcast was being adapted into a television series. Based on my lack of awe while reading the first two volumes, I figured I’d like the show, but it wouldn’t be a stand out or that it wouldn’t live up to my expectations as a huge fan of The Walking Dead television series. I am happy to announce that I was completely wrong in the best way possible. The first episode of the television series aired last week and I absolutely loved the shit out of it. I watched it twice, I loved it that much. The pacing was so much quicker and the writing, acting and special effects were all on point, but I digress. I’ll be writing a review and comparison of the first season once it is finished airing. All you need to know is that it was amazing and it was the second key factor in my decision to pre-order the third volume of the comic series.

For some blessed reason, my pre-order showed up in my mailbox two weeks early. When I saw it waiting for me on the 9th, prior to it’s release of June 21st, I was beyond ecstatic. I don’t know if the Canadian release date is different compared to what is stated on Goodreads/Amazon, but hey, I’m not complaining one bit. After becoming ridiculously hyped up after watching just one episode of the television adaptation, I was so ready for more Outcast.

A quick refresh: Outcast tells the story of a man named Kyle Barnes who is surrounded by demons that possess his loved ones. He has no idea why this is happening and he also has no idea why they all seem to know him and refer to him as “Outcast”. For some unknown reason, Kyle as the power to extract these demons from the human bodies they have possessed, but usually at a terrible cost.

Outcast Vol.3: This Little Light, did not disappoint. The pacing was much quicker this time around. While moments of the story were still quite vague and a lot of questions remain unanswered, the story moved much quicker. I completely devoured it. I don’t think I have read anything that fast in a long time. We are slowly gaining more answers, but it does also feel like every time we get an answer to one question, a new question forms. Which as annoying as it is, because I’m impatient and want to know everything right now, it also works as a great tool to keep readers coming back for more.

Kyle continues to become more relatable as the story continues. We know that he is severely misunderstood and we know that he is willing to take the blame for crimes that he did not commit in order to protect his loved ones. Hopefully more characters continue to see this as Kyle deserves better.

I did feel as though moments were slightly repetitive. I know that the story revolves around a man surrounded by demons possessing the people he loves, but it has been happening in every single volume with basically the same results. I’m hoping something changes soon as this might get a little old if it continues to happen in every single volume.

While the cliffhanger at the end of the second volume was addressed and served as a main story line throughout this story arch, this volume also ended with a bit of a cliffhanger, albeit a rather confusing one. It created a new question that I need answered ASAP.

The artwork by Paul Azaceta is, once again, wonderful. It’s dark and haunting and works perfectly with the darker tone of the story. There was actually a few little details that portrayed perfect storytelling within images alone. There were a few close ups of characters faces to show their expressions that really helped showcase how the people around Kyle were feeling. Another small detail that I loved was the close up of a crow in the distance behind Kyle in one scene. I automatically heard the crow caw in my head which made for an excellent storytelling device.

I think my interest in this series is definitely peaking and I’m eager to continue with reading the series and watching the television show. I am absolutely loving the amount of graphic novels and comic books that are being adapted into television and film lately and Outcast is a perfect addition to that list.

Initial post reading thoughts:

This pre-order showed up in my mailbox early and I dove right in, I just couldn't help myself. The first episode of the television adaptation was just so good all I wanted was more Outcast, so you can imagine my excitement when I found this delivery waiting for me today. I will say some moments are a tad repetitive, but we're finally getting some more answers! I can't wait for more Outcast!

Another solid story from Robert Kirkman. Picks up right where volume 2 left off with Kyle trying to exorcise his sister. Kyle finally starts figuring out what is going on and how to battle these possessed people. The end of the book changes the direction of the series and the situation is more dire than it first seemed.

Day 6 of the 7 consecutive days of comic book reviews on the WondrousBooks blog.

What has happened since last volume? NOTHING AT ALL, that is what.

Entire one star goes to the beautiful art and coloring.

The rest is still as bad and as boring as it was at the beginning, I'm afraid. Kyle still has serious mommy issues, we have again read "my mother hurt me", "like my mother hurt me", "because my mother hurt me" and the variations every couple of pages. Everybody's mom is hurting them, there has not been a woman in this entire story not to hurt her children, even the random mom of the step-sister.

The men are still going through the same drama, the priest and his belief, Kyle and his... everything.

Arrested development? Uh-uh. 

I really don't have all that much to say about this volume, because nothing has changed since the last one, especially the general idea and direction. For more detailed comment of those:  Outcast, Vol. 2 review.

[Andreas · Rating 3 out of 5]

3.5, actually

Considerably better than the second one! Now I feel like this is going places...

[Artemy · Rating 4 out of 5]

Ya know what? Outcast is probably the best comic book by Robert Kirkman, which, granted, is not saying much. Invincible? Garbage. The Walking Dead? Poop on a stick. But Outcast? This one I can give a read, no problem.

(Update: since writing this review, my opinion about The Walking Dead has changed. I actually quite like it now! Who would’ve thought)

So, volume 3. Kyle Barnes keeps exorcising the evil spirits while getting the shit beaten out of him. If this sounds familiar, that's because this is exactly what was going on in the last two volumes. Still, the exorcism scenes are probably the best part of the series — they're always so intense, raw and gritty. But there are some plot developments in this volume, too — we get more of the strange dude in a black hat with his evil plan to do whatever, and we also get to see a darker side of Reverend Anderson. Oh, and Kyle realises something about what kind of things help in performing his exorcisms, which is a pretty funny scene closer to the end of this volume.

Look, I know, not much is happening in this comic so far, but to be fair, not much is ever happening in The Walking Dead, too. At least there aren't like a zillion boring-ass characters in Outcast. It's hard for me to explain what I like about this particular series. Just, like, the feel of it? The whole dark atmosphere feels somehow unique and pretty captivating. It's also an especially good read this time of year, in October, when it starts to get cold and dark and Halloween-y. Well, maybe it's just me.

What is definitely great about this series, though, is the artwork by Paul Azaceta. There is a very David Aja feel about his style, which is a good thing. His action scenes, in particular, look great. And masterful colouring by Elizabeth Breitweiser is gorgeous as always. You may also know her from Ed Brubaker's latest comics like Velvet, Kill Or Be Killed and Criminal Volume 7, and just like those comics, Outcast looks great in big part thanks to her colouring.

Outcast may not be the most acclaimed Robert Kirkman series, but I do think it's his best, and his only comic worth reading. I only hope it will end sooner rather than later, because I absolutely can't image this going on for more than 10 volumes (and we all know how Kirkman doesn't like to end his books). Poor Kyle Barnes can only take so many beatings before it becomes completely ridiculous, but until then, I am on board with the series.

[Donovan · Rating 5 out of 5]

This series is fucking awesome. Kirkman and Azaceta continue to "kill" it in Volume 3 as the mystery unravels. Kyle Barnes and Reverend Anderson find out more about themselves and continue to battle demons in their quiet little town. But something big is brewing among the demons and I can't wait to find out how! The writing, art and characterization take this beyond for me and therefore deserves 5 stars.

[Subham · Rating 3 out of 5]

This volume was cool and focuses on Kyle tryna exorcise the demon out of his sister Megan and things happen with Mark and he is injured, and we learn more about the nature of his powers. Also when he does exorcise it there are police cases. They help another guy named Maurice and that was something, quite brutal but reveals so many things and then there is the thing with Allison, and Kyle understands whats it like to be an outcast and the nature of things happening and the stuff at the end was something. Great development for Revered and we get closer to understanding what the Great Merge is.

[Shaun Stanley · Rating 4 out of 5]

Outcast Vol. 3: This Little Light collects issues 13-18 of the Image Comics series written by Robert Kirkman and art by Paul Azaceta.

Kyle has to exorcise another individual who is close to him, this time his sister. As events escalate quickly, Kyle is thrown into a situation where he has to act on his own and he starts to gather some answers.

Another solid collection of issues in this third installment of the series. This volume of the series is especially brutal. The book ends on a cliff hanger where and I’m curious to see where it goes from here.

[Sarah · Rating 4 out of 5]

The best volume so far. I'm glad I stuck with this comic because it is really interesting. It's different to the tv series so I'm excited to see where it goes from here. Again, my only concern is whether or not this comic will be dragged out or not. Also, where can it go from The Merge? We'll see. The artwork is great as per usual.

[CS · Rating 3 out of 5]

Did I read this??? I can't remember now :P

Bullet Review:

Oh yeah, I DID read this! This is the one where Kyle Barnes' sister, Maggie, goes bonkers and chucks her husband out of a window! And Kyle tells his ex about her antics as well as that his daughter inherited his ability.

So quite a bit of info actually; don't know why I forgot to mark it read!

[James DeSantis · Rating 4 out of 5]

Another solid volume. I'm a huge horror fan and this series just calls to me as much as Nailbiter, but for different reasons.

This volume picks up where the last left off. Megan is possessed and Kyle and the Rev are trying to get that little pesky violent as fuck demon out. It was tense and sad results lead to a lot of well crafted character development. I also LOVED the one possession storyline with the big guy who nearly did some fucked up shit to Kyle. You learn more and more about these demons the further we get into the series. It's both intriguing and interesting and I hope it continues to do so.

The volume ends with a "Oh shit" moment and hope the next is just as good.

nie zrozumcie mnie źle -- ta seria jest *mega* dobra, ale powodem moich niskich ocen dwóch ostatnich tomów jest fakt, że autorzy skupiają się za dużo na horrorze (z którym chyba nie wiedzą co zrobić), a za mało na bohaterach, których dalej praktycznie nie znamy. klimatyczny, szybki i ładny komiks, ale czekam, aż potencjał ten serii, który ujżałem w pierwszym tomie, powróci

Estando a ler esta série em simultâneo com a The Walking Dead, do mesmo autor, e tendo sido ambas adaptadas para série televisiva, é impossível não fazer algumas comparações, no sentido de tentar perceber porque, não tendo visto nenhuma das séries, The Walking Dead é tão mais aprazível.

As diferenças são muitas, ainda que ache a premissa inicial semelhante – entre os seres humanos muitos já não o são, transformando-se em monstros. Se no caso de The Walking Dead a transformação é visível e de tal forma vincada que permite a total desumanização das criaturas, em Outcast os seres humanos continuam a ser capazes de executar as tarefas rotineiras de sempre, não tentam morder ninguém e conseguem manter conversas quase civilizadas. A transformação neste caso é interna e a sua pouca visibilidade faz com que os amigos e familiares neguem, sempre que possível, as evidências.

Se The Walking Dead é carregada de momentos de acção onde a esperança de uma vivência mais relaxada contrasta com os episódios catastróficos de chacina emocionalmente pesada, em Outcast o tom é constantemente deprimente, com pouca mudança de cenário. Por outro lado, a demasiada centralização numa personagem que se mostrou, até agora, um herói psicologicamente afectado e por isso ineficaz, não ajuda a criar empatia para com o que lhe vai acontecendo.

Mantendo a comparação, se em The Walkind Dead a história avança em círculos, repetindo uma fórmula de tensão acumulada que já sabemos como termina mas mesmo assim queremos acompanhar, Outcast avança de forma mais ou menos linear, tentando manter esta repetição de acontecimentos com os rituais de exorcismo mas sem conseguir criar a expectativa que seria necessária pois os momentos que intercalam os rituais são preenchidos com depressão.

Com todas estas comparações quase depreciativas, onde fica Outcast? Fica, para mim, no limite do aceitável. Passo a explicar. O ritmo continua lento, com uma narrativa quase linear onde as revelações surgem a conta gotas e mantém o leitor sempre na expectativa de saber o que afinal está por detrás da epidemia de possessões.

Este terceiro volume conseguiu, finalmente, fazer aparecer algumas personagens secundárias e dar-lhes algum interesse, mostrando um pouco mais do que se passa do outro lado da barricada e dando-nos algo para nos ligarmos emocionalmente – mas não ao suposto herói.

[Frédéric · Rating 3 out of 5]

At last, things sped up a bit in this volume!

It's all relative, mind you. Outcast is NOT James Bond or anything even remotely related to "action".
Still, after the two first issues where some action actually happens, the last 4, even though going back in slow-mo, deepen the plots with new hints and clues leading to something.

It even ends with a cliffhanger of a sort. The Outcast way, so don't fret too much.

[Kenny · Rating 4 out of 5]

Kirkman's take on exorcism continues to scare the living shit out of me. Keep it coming. Azaceta's atmospheric art really sets the mood wrong and wrong is so right, if you know what I mean?

Solid 4.5 stars

Not enough to merit a 5 star, but so far this is the best one yet.

Good improvement from the second volume. Kyle is attemtping to exorcise his sister. The ramifications and end result seem to be larger than first thought.

[Craig Maxwell · Rating 4 out of 5]

Much better volume than the previous.

The story is developing and you feel like you’re getting more questions answered.

The only thing that does annoy me in the repetitive nature of the story the same things keep happening but with different characters.

This volume has restored my faith a bit to read on.

[The Library Ladies · Rating 4 out of 5]

(originally reviewed at thelibraryladiescom )

If Volume 1 was set up and Volume 2 was getting the wheels into motion, “Outcast: This Little Light” is the pay off, and boy does it pay off and then some. Kirkman has always done a good job of taking a well worn trope (be it zombies in “The Walking Dead” or superheroes in “Invincible”) and breathing new, unique life into it, and “Outcast” is doing the same for the demonic possession story. I’ve said it before, I’m not as scared or disconcerted by demonic possession stories, but “Outcast” is exceeding my expectations.

When we left off in “A Vast and Unending Ruin”, Kyle and Anderson had the daunting and heart wrenching task of performing an exorcism on Kyle’s sister Megan. What could have been a frustrating and emotionally manipulative scene was actually done very well, as Megan’s danger didn’t feel like solely a way to get at our male protagonist. Given how these demons work, and given that this plot point is resolved pretty darn quickly and opens up some new plot paths, I was willing to give it a pass. Megan is a character that I am very fond of, as even though this happens to her, she bounces back and remains the tough and awesome sister that I really, really enjoy (yeah yeah, spoiler alert, but it needs to be said). It also opens up more for her to do because of some of the consequences of her temporary possession, especially in regards to her and her husband Mark. Mark is another really well done character, as while he could have easily been the skeptical and cruel brother in law who only serves to doubt Kyle, he’s taking an interesting turn as well. His and Megan’s relationship is one of the more well done and honest portrayals of marriage I’ve seen in a comic, and it serves as a nice counterbalance to the star crossed relationship between Allison and Kyle. While Kyle and Allison may be the couple that you are supposed to root for and invest in, with demons and misconceptions keeping them apart, I am far more invested in the one between Megan and Mark.

We also get a bit more insight into what exactly is going on with the demons regarding their motivations and their weaknesses. Kirkman continues to move the mythology out of the solely Judeo-Christian realm, giving us a bit more to chew on and getting a bit more creative. This, of course, is only adding more tension between Kyle and Anderson, as Kyle is pretty convinced that it has little to do with God, while Anderson is clinging to the belief that it has everything to do with that. It may be easy to say that I’m biased when it comes to this, as yes, I am an agnostic, but I think that by opening up the potential in demonic possession does a few positive things for the narrative. The first is that it makes it unique to other possession narratives. Adding your own spin to a classic story or device is going to make it stand out more, and “Outcast” is definitely standing out against other similar stories that I’ve seen in the past few years. It’s not just the demon mythology either, I am also very interested in what an ‘Outcast’, like Kyle, is, and how it all plays into this mythology. Another is that there’s lots to be said for being inclusive in stories like this, and by opening up more possibilities of explanation, Kirkman is speaking to a wider audience who may be reading this book and hoping for a more relatable evil to vanquish, and a more relatable way to combat it. And finally, at least for me, it’s scarier this way. Without going into specifics, I think that this kind of demonic force is hitting closer to my own personal fears. I like being scared, and this is giving me some serious willies.

“Outcast (Vol.3): This Little Light” left on a pretty hardcore cliffhanger, and now that I have fully succumbed to this comic I am definitely itching to see what happens next. Don’t keep me in suspense too long, Image Comics! When does Vol. 4 come out?

[Nuno Ferreira · Rating 4 out of 5]

Este volume de Outcast leva-nos ao encontro de onde o último livro terminou. A aposta de Kirkman em retratar o tema do exorcismo não me convenceu de todo com os volumes iniciais, mas o desenvolvimento da narrativa tem-me agradado bastante. A atmosfera dark trabalhada por Azaceta ajuda bastante a definir o ambiente da sequência, de forma imperativa e inquietante.

Outcast é uma série lenta. Não é fácil compará-lo a The Walking Dead, por exemplo, onde o ritmo faz parte do impacto que a série de BD tem no público. A história de Kirkman e Azaceta convida-nos a mastigar lentamente o sabor a cinzas que ela nos deixa na boca. Assim, a leitura de um volume pode não trazer grandes novidades, e muito menos saltar de cenário em cenário como a trama de mortos-vivos faz com mérito, mas deixa-nos entranhar no processo e aproximar-nos das personagens.

Em Uma Pequena Luz, vemos Kyle e o Reverendo Anderson a debater-se com o corpo possuído de Megan, a irmã adoptiva de Kyle. Durante o confronto, Megan ataca o próprio esposo, Mark, que sofre uma queda violentíssima. A dupla de protagonistas consegue exorcizar a mulher, mas os seus problemas estão longe de acabar, uma vez que o estado de saúde de Mark não é a única das suas preocupações.

Sólido e expansivo, este terceiro volume de Outcast cimenta-o e mostra-se cada vez mais à altura do seu próprio autor, para quem as provas dadas são “que baste” para o idolatrar. Nunca fui grande fã de horror e da temática das possessões, mas a forma madura e credível com que as personagens são apresentadas agradou-me imenso, e é muito a verosimilhança das personagens que me cativa neste Outcast. Claro está, cada relance de um possuído vem trazer a sensação de adrenalina de que todos queremos ao ler uma história destas.

A arte de Paul Azaceta tem vindo a melhorar. Confesso que gosto das suas ilustrações desde o primeiro volume, mas está longe de ser dos meus artistas favoritos no género. Ainda assim, grande parte da qualidade do seu trabalho está na pintura. Os tons amarelos, roxos e negros casam na perfeição com a temática. As expressões faciais são uma das suas melhores características e não posso deixar de afirmar que me cativam imenso as várias páginas sem diálogos, onde somos convidados a beber a ilustração e a cair no mundo apresentado sem que sejamos obrigados a concentrar-nos na história escrita.

Em suma, Outcast começou frágil mas, na minha opinião, já acertou o passo e é mais uma das séries regulares da Image Comics de que não dispenso. Robert Kirkman e Paul Azaceta são outra dupla que deu certo, e só posso fazer uma vénia à G Floy pelas edições lindíssimas que tem trazido até nós.

[Chris Lemmerman · Rating 3 out of 5]

This volume of Outcast picks up pretty much where the last one ended, as Kyle and Reverend Anderson try to deal with the demons' latest possession - Kyle's sister Megan. In the aftermath, they must also cope with new friends learning about Kyle's powers, as well as the amassing of a force that even Kyle can't hope to stop.

Outcast is a slow burn of a book. Like the Walking Dead, I think reading it in single issues would annoy me no end. As it is, reading a six issue arc is just enough story to keep me going until the next volume, but not quite enough to feel satisfied overall. There's progress, but it feels eked out, although the character work is top notch in between

Paul Azaceta's artwork has improved so much since his last mainstream comics work on Amazing Spider-Man; his facial expressions are exceptionally good now, and this sells the story a lot more than it ever would have before. The colours are moody and atmospheric, and I love the little inter-cut panels that pop up on each page, focusing on small details that either enhance the action or give us more of an insight into what characters are feeling by focusing on their smaller movements.

Ticking along nicely, but a little slow overall.

[Zedsdead · Rating 4 out of 5]

Things are finally coming to a head. The exorcisms are hitting fast and furious, Kyle is starting to figure some things out, and his various family members are beginning to understand that he's not a monster. It's good to see the plot move forward.

Something about the art really speaks to me. I like the colors and the shadows and the little inset panels that draw attention to certain things.

Plot points:
--Every exorcism is basically just an extended fistfight which lasts until Kyle's magic Outcast skin makes the demon vomit itself up. They learn that new demons are hypersensitive to everything, which is why scripture (yelling) and holy water (coldness) and burning sage (pungency) actually work.
--Kyle and the reverend save Megan, but not until after she paralyzes her husband. She begins to believe.
--Allison overhears Kyle and Megan talking and decides he's insane...until little Amber confirms that Allison was hurting her, not Kyle.
--The boss demon cracks Kyle's skull and ties him up in a shed.

4.5* This is where the series really starts to take off. Following on from Megan being possessed in volume 2 Kyle and Reverend Anderson battle to save her. More people learn that actually Kyle is not a wife beating child abusing a-hole and that he was trying to protect his family from possession. We learn more about the 'merge', it is still unclear what it is but we know it isn't anything good. Kyle and Reverend Anderson also start to gain more understanding about what they face and how they can deal with it. Exciting stuff! With how it ended I can't wait for the next volume.

The action picks up a bit in Volume 3 of Outcast. Someone close to Kyle is possessed and with devastating consequences.

I'm not sure how I feel about this. It's mildly interesting and I want to see what happens next. It's just not anything too engaging or interesting. Maybe it will pick up. The artwork is probably my favorite part.
