Back in August, Image Comics and Skybound resurrected Robert Kirkman’s Demonic in a new comic book series penned by Christopher Sebela, and this March they will release a trade paperback of the series’ first six issues.

Press Release: Eisner Award-nominated writer Christopher Sebela (High Crimes, Escape from New York), artist Niko Walter, colorist Dan Brown (Wolverine Max, Ghost Rider), and letterer Sal Cipriano will release a trade paperback collection of their darkly twisting vigilante series Demonic this March from Image Comics and Skybound Entertainment.

Taking place in a world created by The Walking Dead creator Robert Kirkman & The Darkness creator Marc Silvestri, Demonic is a sinister tale of curses, dark bargains, and sacrifice.

Detective Scott Graves will do anything to protect his family…even bargain away his soul. Now, the only thing to fear isn’t New York’s worst criminals, but what’s already raging inside of him.

Robert Kirkman’s 2010 one-shot comic book, Demonic, is being expanded into a six-issue series from Skybound Entertainment. Written by Christopher Sebela this time around, the first issue of Demonic is teased in a new set of preview pages ahead of its August 26th release:

Press Release: Image/Skybound Entertainment is pleased to announce the sinister, all-new series Demonic co-created by Robert Kirkman and Marc Silvestri, written by Eisner Award-nominated Christopher Sebela (High Crimes, Escape from New York), and with debut artist Niko Walter, colorist Dan Brown (Wolverine Max, Ghost Rider), and letterer Sal Cipriano set to launch this August 2016.

In Demonic, Detective Scott Graves will do anything to protect his family… even bargain away his soul. Now, the only thing to fear isn’t New York’s worst criminals, but what’s already raging inside of him. After all, what’s the cost of your soul when it’s already damaged?...

Comic writer Robert Kirkman is a busy guy. Along with his stellar ongoing Walking Dead series, Invincible, and the occasional issue of Marvel Zombies (to name just a few), he's got a new franchise blooming in Top Cow's Pilot Season: Demonic about a vigilante known for savagely slaughtering the wicked.

The first issue just hit the market this week, and thanks to Top Cow we've got the storyline, a look at the cover, and a few panels for you to check out below (click each image to see more detail). The credits are as follows: written by Robert Kirkman, art by Joe Benitez, and cover by Marc Silvestri.

The demon is in his head. The demon makes him strong. The demon gets angry when he doesn't kill. Scott Graves is possessed and will do anything the demon asks as long as it promises not to make him kill his wife and daughter.
