Fabian Nicieza and Reilly Brown's New Webcomic Outrage Publishes in Two Weeks' Time

It's been a fairly long time coming. We first ran publicity about it almost a year ago. But finally the webcomic from Cable & Deadpool team Fabian Nicieza and Reilly Brown, Outrage, is coming to free webcomic publisher from Korea LINE Webtoon. And it will begin publishing on September 12th.

The story of a mysterious individual who can navigate the Internet and physically manifest at the source of the vile bile that spews throughout social media. Along with an array of weaponry limited only by his imagination, Outrage can exact a swift, merciless pummeling of anyone who triggers, humiliates, mortifies, stalks, hawks, balks or otherwise abuses someone on the Internet. And also, anyone who doesn't know the difference between their, there and they're. But who or what is Outrage? Why is he – or she – so angry? And can this mysterious entity be tracked down before the interweb explodes with violence?

"As the world continues to become more connected and social media dominates the way people communicate, bullying and negativity unfortunately become more prevalent as well with users hiding behind the shields of their computer screens," said Nicieza. "I wanted to take a unique spin on the vigilante, creating a new kind of cyber hero in the vein of Deadpool meets Mr. Robot meets The Office. I knew right away that LINE Webtoon and its huge digital community were the right audience for this series."

"It's an awesome experience to be working with Nicieza again for this series, because he pays me to say things like that," added Brown. "Modern society is rampant with virtual abuse, and it has been a lot of fun bringing this vigilante character to life who is doing his part to stop the trolls."
