Tom Whitman Comic Reviews

Ultimately Outcast is a solid debut issue, Kirkman provides a sympathetic main character. The level of scares will vary from person to person based on views of religion and demonic possession. The scares weren't found in the somewhat derivative violent parts of the exorcism but rather in the quieter moments of dialogue and facial expressions. Where is Kirman heading? Only he knows and the size and price of the first issue is enough alone to check this out.

I'm really intrigued to see how Frank is going to make it through this without his normal amount of resources. This run of Punisher is only going to get better come issue #9 when the All-New Marvel Now! Black Widow entwines with the Punisher as I am a big fan of that run as well. The Punisher is a great west coast induced gangster crime story that doesn't fall short of any Marvel Fans expectations that does have some number of funny moments as well. Check it Out!

Overall this issue is crowded and confusing in some parts, but still sets a decent tone for character development and plot momentum . To be fair this is a once a month issue and Dan Slott has to give enough punch for the readers to enjoy. Spider-Man fans will enjoy it as I have.
