Review: Outcast Vol.  1: A Darkness Surrounds Him (Outcast #1-6) by Robert Kirkman Format (That I Read It): Comics Summary: Kyle Barnes has been plagued by demonic possession all his life and now he needs answers. Unfortunately, what he uncovers along the way could bring about the end of life on Earth as we know it. Initial Thoughts: I have been watching the TV show and now that the season finale is coming up I decided that I wanted to read the comics because I'm dying to know what is going to happen! Review: ★★★ This volume was good. It was almost exactly like the show which I found really nice. Nothing really happened in this volume it was more of a build up of the world and the characters. I really was surprised by the art style. It was different from others I've read. I loved the boxes that were in between some of the sections like this: Also, just the art style is something I enjoyed. I'm glad they didn't do the same art style from th...

Recommendations: If you like this.... (TV Shows) you'll like this.... (Books) ~All suggestions are my own opinion~ My recommendations go both ways. If you like the book then I think you will like the show. Both the TV shows and books I recommend are ones that I've watched/read and really enjoyed. Some of the shows have ended which I will indicate (by this *) but all the rest are currently ongoing.   If you like Dexter*  you will like You by Caroline Kepnes. Both of these are very similar in my mind. I was getting a lot of Dexter vibes when I was reading You . They both revolve around anti-heroes. Both of the main characters are people you love to hate. They also involve similar things, albeit Dexter is quite a bit darker with Dexter being a serial killer and Joe being a stalker. Both show and book are creepy and make you rethink who you can actually trust.  If you like  Outlander  you will like  The Bronze Horseman  by Paul...

My Most Anticipated Summer Shows (June/July) Sunday June 5th: Outcast (Cinemax) Series Premiere   I didn't know this was going to be a show or anything about it until I saw an interview with Robert Kirkman (the creator of The Walking Dead). He was talking about starting this new show called Outlast and I had no idea what he was talking about. I'm a HUGE fan of The Walking Dead so I checked out the trailer and I instantly fell in love! I'm a sucker for horror and creepy demonic possession sort of stories so this is gonna right up my alley.  Sunday June 12th: Ride With Norman Reedus (AMC) Series Premiere I've been excited for the show since I heard it be announced. Norman Reedus is one of my favorite actors, from The Walking Dead to Boondock Saints (even though his accent was quite bad). I'm also really happy to see it's about motorcycles too. I have a fascination with them so putting both Norman and motorcycles together is going to be rea...
