Nick Outlast

Born in the mid-1990s surge of independent superhero publishing, Nick Outlast made his entrance in Metaphysique #1 (1995), a Malibu Comics title brought to life by the creative team of Norm and Kevin Breyfogle. He moves through a world populated by intriguing figures like Marla Carnell, Prakriti Jones, and Adam Mater — a cast that hints at the ambitious, character-rich storytelling Malibu was championing at the height of its ambitions. Nick may be a rarity in the catalog with only a handful of recorded appearances, but that makes Metaphysique #1 itself a genuine collector's find — a snapshot of a bold, creative moment in comics history worth seeking out.
