The Walking Dead Volume 25 to Be Packaged With Outcast Issue #1 this March

[Press Release] Image Comics/Skybound Entertainment is pleased to announce that THE WALKING DEAD, VOL. 25, created and written by Robert Kirkman with art by Charlie Adlard, will be shrink-wrapped with a free copy of OUTCAST #1 by Robert Kirkman and Paul Azaceta and will be in stores this March, while supplies last.

THE WALKING DEAD, VOL. 25: NO TURNING BACK is set after a devastating act of war by the Whisperers. Now Rick must chart a path for his community. But when his leadership is questioned, how will he respond?

Readers of THE WALKING DEAD will enjoy the same chilling psychological terrors in Kirkman’s new series, OUTCAST. In this complimentary double-sized first issue, readers meet Kyle Barnes—a man who has been plagued by demonic possession all his life and who is now in need of answers. Unfortunately, what he uncovers along the way could bring about the end of life on Earth as we know it.

The television adaption of OUTCAST will premiere on Cinemax this year and stars Patrick Fugit (Almost Famous, Gone Girl) as Kyle Barnes and Philip Glenister (Ashes to Ashes, Life on Mars) as Reverend Anderson.
THE WALKING DEAD, VOL. 25 (ISBN: 978-1-63215-659-4) will be available in comic book stores on March 30th and can be ordered with Diamond Code DEC150677.
