Outcast - Kirkman & Azaceta

[cbalroman]

Pretty cool they are showing it tomorrow. Hope it does well.

[krighton]

yeah, hopefully some of it is leaked to the web.

Fingers crossed that this show will be as creepy as it could be. I can hear the score done by the same guy who did There Will Be Blood. Jonny Greenwood from Radiohead...

just premiered

going to be 10 episodes for the 1st season

 

already renewed for a 2nd season

 

pretty cool animated gif at the link

 

I don't have Cinemax, I cut the cable but signed up with Sling TV for $20 to watch ESPN and you can also get Cinemax.

Two season commitment before a single episode airs?

 

According to Wikipedia, Cinemax is in around 20 million homes while Walking Dead's AMC is in almost 100 million homes. Even if the show is solid, I wonder how popular it can become given the numbers? Then again, HBO is at around 35 million subscribers and Game of Thrones exploded... so if it's good maybe pirating will help Outcast reach a global audience.

 

I'll try to find a way to watch it, but I cut the cord years ago as well.

[krighton]

I'm sure they're hoping it will increase their subscribership ..... Worst-case sign up for the three months it's going to be on and then cancel

All HBO has to do is come up with a discount bundle to both and boom.

Are people even still enjoying this book? It wasn't my cup of tea and I dropped out after four or so - looks like they're still selling 20k a month.

I have HBO NOW so I could stream GOT and True Detectives and they add new shows the day after it premieres on cable... does anyone have Cinemax's streaming service MAX GO? I'm wondering how it compares to HBO NOW.

[krighton]

I still like reading Outcast...but i'm from WV so it makes it more interesting to me.

[cupny]

I am really enjoying this book. The art is spot on and Kirk is solid.

[cbalroman]

Anybody see the premier at SXSW? Or know anyone that did?

[krighton]

every review I've seen has been positive...I don't know anyone that went to SXSW though.

Saw the Pilot yesterday at Dutch Comic Con and it's fantastic! It mirrors the comics perfectly and Patrick Fugit is really good as Kyle! The most awesome part is the kid thats plays Joshua he is just out of this world, really well done!

Just started reading this last night. I'm really enjoying it so far!

 

Is it too late to pick up a #1 at the current prices?

[krighton]

You can get a 1st print for around $15-$20 or so, i'm hoping they take off in June.
