Best Comic of the Week: Outcast #48 – Robert Kirkman and Paul Azaceta close off their long-running horror comic with this oversized last issue, and it’s an excellent ending. The big events all happened in the last issue, but Kirkman can be pretty sentimental, so this whole comic explores the aftermath of what happened there, and looks at what life is going to bring to Kyle, Anderson, and all the others who made up the cast of this series. Most horror movies end when the threat is finally vanquished, so I thought it was cool to see how the people of a town where just about everyone was possessed by other-dimensional beings try to put things back together. Also, both Kyle and Anderson had been put through the wringer in this book, so I feel like the closure this issue brings was needed. Outcast was always a solid read. The early issues were always a little too decompressed, but in its last years, things just kept getting tighter and tighter. Azaceta’s art is always very good, and I’m looking forward to seeing what he does next. This book really suffered from a sporadic shipping schedule, and I’m a little jealous of people who can now read the whole thing consecutively. It’s never reached the levels of acclaim that The Walking Dead or Invincible has, but it will stand out as one of Kirkman’s best titles.
