Pilot Season: Demonic

About the series
In 2010, Image Comics launched a one-shot as part of its Pilot Season initiative, pairing writer Robert Kirkman with artist Joe Benitez for a dark, supernatural tale. The story introduces a down-on-his-luck man who makes a deal with a demonic entity, only to find the consequences far more complicated than he bargained for. Though it only ran for a single issue, this comic stands as a snapshot of Kirkman’s early experiments with horror outside his zombie epic, showcasing Benitez’s detailed, moody artwork. It remains a curious what-if in the Image catalog, a self-contained pilot for a series that never was.
