James Tynion IV and Michael Walsh play a deadly game this May in Exquisite Corpses

Horror masters James Tynion IV and Michael Walsh will lead a group of the most exciting voices in the industry in the upcoming Exquisite Corpses. This unique new ongoing series is set to launch on May 14th with its first, 13-issue season—with more story arcs planned for the future—from Image Comics/Tiny Onion.

Readers will experience a comics event like no other. Each issue of Exquisite Corpses will feature the top tier craft of Tynion and Walsh in collaboration—and competition—with a roster of industry-leading talent. Each issue will build upon the last in a true ‘exquisite corpse’-style. In these first, 13 blood-soaked issues the creative crew will determine who wins… and who dies.

Exquisite Corpses will feature the work of comics superstars Adam Gorham, Becca Carey, Che Grayson, Claire Roe, Gavin Fullerton, Jordie Bellaire, Marianna Ignazzi, Pornsak Pichetshote, Tyler Boss, and Valentine De Landro.

Every five years on Halloween, the wealthiest families in America play a game. In Exquisite Corpses, 12 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.

Each issue of the series will showcase variant cover artwork by some of the most lauded artists in the space—with Issue #1 featuring covers by Alex Eckman-Lawn, Jae Lee and June Chung, James Stokoe, Nimit Malavia, and more.

Tiny Onion will also embark on a year-long, national signing tour—dubbed Corpse Tour ’25—with stops to coincide with each Exquisite Corpses issue release. Each event will feature Tynion in conversation with local Exquisite Corpses creators, with a Q&A and signing to follow. Corpse Tour ‘25 will kick off with a release party in May.
