The company will also be offering new products from the Eisner Award-nominated and indie breakout hit, Exquisite Corpses. Tiny Onion has arranged for a full slate of programming, including panels and signings, and they will be debuting the fifth and final issue of their fan-favorite newspaper, Tiny Onion Presents.
