Outcast will be Kirkman's first attempt at writing a pilot. And though it only released its debut issue last month,  Outcast's sales have already exceededThe Walking Dead's at its peak. The story follows Kyle Barnes, a young man who's been plagued by possession since he was a child. He embarks on a journey to find answers, but uncovers what could mean the end of life on Earth as we know it.
