James Tynion IV and Tiny Onion have announced the first round of locations for Corpse Tour ‘25, the signing tour to support the new horror series from Image Comics, Exquisite Corpses. Tynion and members of the Exquisite Corpses creative team, dubbed the “Corpse Crew,” will stop at comic shops across North America, making each signing a unique event.

Each stop on Corpse Tour ‘25 will feature an intimate Q+A session with Tynion and guests, a signing, and a pop-up shop featuring exclusive tour merch only available at tour locations.

To kick off the tour, Tiny Onion and Revenge Of are combining forces to throw an Exquisite Release Party in Los Angeles. The release party will feature exclusive merch, giveaways, spooky refreshments and treats from Deadly Sweet Co., a signing with artist Alex Pardee, flash tattoos with Ghosted Tattoo Studio, and a giant Corpse Crew signing with Becca Carey, Che Grayson, James Tynion IV, Jordie Bellaire, Michael Walsh, Pornsak Pichetshote, and Tyler Boss.

In Exquisite Corpses, every five years on Halloween, the wealthiest families in America play a game. 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. The series will not only feature the work of Tynion IV and Walsh, but also a team of comics superstars. Each issue will build upon the last in a true ‘exquisite corpse’ game style, with a passing of the baton from creator to creator to unfold the story in a collaborative and competitive fashion.
