Demon is an American supernatural action comic by Jason Shiga. The comic, which follows a man who apparently cannot die, was self-published from 2014 to 2016 as a mini-comic and webcomic, then released as a four-volume, 720-page graphic novel by First Second Books in 2016 and 2017. It was unusually well-organized for a webcomic, having been entirely written and laid out before its release, with a well-founded story, consistent art, and daily updates.
The comic was received favourably by critics, who praised the clever story; its puzzles and plot twists; the artwork, which balanced the often grim subject matter; and the surprising humor. The comic won an Eisner Award and an Ignatz Award.
