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?

DEMONIC #1 Cover A (Diamond Code JUN160587) and Cover B by WITCH DOCTOR's Lukas Ketner (Diamond Code JUN160588) will hit comic book stores on Wednesday, August 17th. The final order cutoff deadline for comic book retailers is Monday, July 25th.
