The Tiny Onion team and Corpse Crew are hitting the road again in 2026 for additional stops of the popular Corpse Tour, the event tour celebrating James Tynion IV, Michael Walsh, and the Corpse Crew’s hit horror comic book series Exquisite Corpses, published by Image Comics. Each stop features an intimate Q&A with Tynion and creators, a signing, exclusive event cards for Exquisite Corpses: The Game (beta version playable now), and merchandise for sale.
In 2026, the Corpse Tour will kick off in January with the first stop at Tate’s Comic + Toys in Fort Lauderdale, Florida in celebration of the release of the Exquisite Corpses #9, co-written by Tynion and Tyler Boss, and co-illustrated by Walsh and Valentine De Landro. Tynion and company will then head to France in February for the release of the French edition.
The Corpse Crew will go on to visit the Vault of Midnight store in Ann Arbor, Michigan, in March, timed to the release of Exquisite Corpses #11, and the The Nerd Store in Salt Lake City, Utah, in April, timed to the release of the penultimate issue, Exquisite Corpses #12. There will also be a special stop in May in honor of the final issue of the first Season, Exquisite Corpses #13, hitting shelves, with more exciting details to come. The Corpse Crew will return to San Diego Comic-Con with a July stop at Now or Never, and there will also be to-be-revealed stops in September and November.
In Exquisite Corpses, every five years on Halloween, the wealthiest families in America play a game. Twelve of the deadliest people in the world are dropped into a small town with just one goal: last killer standing wins. For the citizens of Oak Valley, Maine—this year’s unlucky arena—the goal is much simpler. They must survive the night. The first issue can be read digitally for free on the Image Comics site. The second half of the first Season of the series will have many twists and turns, leading to a shocking ending that will have fans losing their minds.
The series came together in a writers’ room led by Tynion IV and Walsh and made up of “Corpse Crew” comics superstars Adam Gorham, Becca Carey, Che Grayson, Claire Roe, Gavin Fullerton, Jordie Bellaire, Marianna Ignazzi, Pornsak Pichetshote, Tyler Boss, and Valentine De Landro. Each issue of the series builds upon the last in a true ‘exquisite corpse’ game style, with a passing of the storytelling baton from creator-to-creator in a collaborative and competitive fashion.

Tiny Onion has added a new 40-minute play through video ofExquisite Corpses: The Gameto the recently launched Exquisite Corpses: The Game website. The play through video features Eisner Award-winning horror masterminds, James Tynion IV and Michael Walsh, co-creators of the bestselling Tiny Onion and Image Comics comic book series Exquisite Corpses, alongside a “Corpse Crew” of A-list comic book talent.
For the play through video, Tynion and Walsh are joined by Corpse Crew creators writer Che Grayson and artist Adam Hughes, Tiny Onion Director of Production Courtney Menard, and popular ASMR creator ALB, competing against each other. Shot in a studio and directed by ALB, the in-depth video features behind the scenes commentary from Game Master Walsh and the Exquisite Corpses talent. It was produced by Tiny Onion Director of Communications Jazzlyn Stone, shot by Camera Operator Ishkhan Ghazarian, with Aaron Losty as the Script Coordinator.
The Exquisite Corpses: The Game website includes instructions on how to play the social strategy battle royale tabletop card game based on the hit comic book series which has sold over 400,000 copies. The new site has a set of 12 printable Event cards, and fans can get access to a set of 6 printable Killer cards if they sign up for alerts for the Kickstarter.
Created and developed fully in-house, Tiny Onion’s Exquisite Corpses: The Game will be launching as a Kickstarter campaign in spring 2026 so that fans can not only get the game deck, but also special edition cards and game accessories. Fans can beta test an early version of the game now with cards either collected from the polybagged Variant C editions of the comics (inclusive of the rare foil cards), as well as Event cards found at Tiny Onion’s Corpse Tour. Walsh is no stranger to TCGs; he has illustrated a number of Magic: The Gathering cards.
Exquisite Corpses: The Game is a casual tabletop game perfect for fans of trading card classics like Magic: The Gathering and party experiences like Ultimate Werewolf. Needing only a deck of cards and some dice, a group of 4-12 players each pick their favorite Killer and proceed to attack, bluff, and barter with their fellow Killers until just one remains. This is a widely accessible game with deceptive complexity; each Killer possesses unique skills that can harmonize or clash with the other Killers in play. No two games are alike, so players can immediately play again and again and get different results.
The newly launched website features a section where fans can subscribe to be notified of the upcoming Kickstarter campaign. The site also includes 6 printable Killer cards, 12 printable Event cards, and printable status effect tokens, with a page of information about the dozen Killers in the game. The “How to Play” section includes details about how to get a game going, including a step-by-step guide, information about game actions and status effects, and Event card rules. Under “Resources,” players can find not only the printables, but also a randomizer to determine the order of Killer selection, play order, and whenever an attack, skill, or Event card calls for a roll of the die.
Walsh started designing the game mechanics even ahead of the first story summit in Buffalo, where the Corpse Crew and Tiny Onion team gathered in a writers room to break out the first season. Via dry-erase cards, the Corpse Crew did the first beta test at the summit. To ensure quality gameplay and balance, Walsh has been playtesting the game since early 2024 with a dedicated playtester group, dubbed “The Barn Burners.” The goal was to create a game that is easy to pick up, but hard to put down.

The critically acclaimed The Horizon Experiment comic book series, led by Eisner and Harvey Award-winning The Good Asian creator Pornsak Pichetshote, will be collected into a first volume this April. The series features five unique “pilot” one-shots by all-star creative teams from across entertainment, with stories featuring diverse protagonists inspired by pop culture icons (like James Bond, John Constantine, and Indiana Jones), while exploring popular genre fare from a different perspective.
Co-edited by Pichetshote and Eisner Award-winning editor Will Dennis, the series kicked off with The Horizon Experiment: The Manchurian, written by Pichetshote and featuring illustrations by superstar artists Terry and Rachel Dodson, a scintillating thriller full of secrets and scandal, featuring a Chinese super spy inspired by James Bond. The Horizon Experiment series also features stunning connecting variant covers by Eisner Award-winning artist Tula Lotay.
Writer Sabir Pirzada, known for writing on beloved franchises like Marvel Studios’ Moon Knight and Ms. Marvel, teamed with Eisner Award-winning horror artist Michael Walsh for the one-shot, The Horizon Experiment: The Sacred Damned, introducing the world to Inayah Jibril, Professor of Ethnography and the Occult. A love letter to classic horror from Dracula to John Constantine, the terrifying tale follows a Muslim exorcist, in a new interpretation of horror tropes.
Tananarive Due and Kelsey Ramsay’s The Horizon Experiment: Moon Dogs one-shot follows a family of Black Lycanthropes of East African descent who find themselves caught in a burgeoning war in Miami when the truth starts to come out that werewolves aren’t just a myth. Co-author of the graphic novel The Keeper, and an acclaimed fiction writer known as the “Octavia Butler of horror,” Due has won an NAACP Image Award, World Fantasy Award, a British Fantasy Award, and much more; Moon Dogs marks her first solo full-length writing endeavor in comics. She’s joined by breakout artist Kelsey Ramsay in her first Image Comics series.

The Horizon Experiment: Motherfu*kin’ Monsters is like Evil Dead for blerds, a love letter to Sam Raimi and Edgar Wright set to a Wu-Tang soundtrack. Fans of Bitter Root and Chew will enjoy this meta horror comedy full of quips and gore, in which a nerdy Black kid from Brooklyn and his friends stumble upon demon-worshipping frat assholes trying to take over the world.

The comic is a reverse Indiana Jones story that follows Puerto Rican archeology grad student Ines Guarua, who plans to steal an important cultural artifact from a famous museum in order to bring it back home to where it belongs.
The Horizon Experiment, Vol. 1 (Lunar code 0225IM443) will be available at comic book shops on Wednesday, April 16 (FOC date is Monday, March 10).
