Pornsak Pichetshote and Alberto Ponticelli join forces for Exquisite Corpses: Lone Gunman

Posted on by Leave a comment

Writer Pornsak Pichetshote and artist Alberto Ponticelli will join forces for Exquisite Corpses: Lone Gunman, the third and final Exquisite Corpses spin-off miniseries based on season one of the bestselling horror comics created by James Tynion IV and Michael Walsh. Pichetshote also contributed to the first season as one of the “Corpse Crew” writers and will delve deeper into the lore and the future of the Lone Gunman killer in this five-issue series coming from Image Comics, and Tynion’s production house Tiny Onion, this November. 

Pichetshote and Ponticelli will be joined by Eisner Award winning colorist Jordie Bellaire and renowned letterer Becca Carey on the title. In this can’t-miss follow-up to Exquisite Corpses’ season one, Laura and her fellow survivors, Xavi and Jason, have attempted to carve out an existence with her winnings, far away from the evil machinations of the 13 Families. But, two years after the unfathomable events unleashed in their hometown and Laura’s game-winning performance as the Last Gunman, all that they did to survive still haunts them. Now, the legacy of the golden mask refuses to stay silent…and their lives are in danger once again. The limited series will uncover the backstory of the Lone Gunman and explore what’s next in Exquisite Corpses.

The launch issue will feature a stunning main cover by Ponticelli and Bellaire and variant covers by A-list artists such as Rafael Albuquerque, Leandro Fernandez, Chris Brunner, and Sebastian Fiumara. Walsh will be contributing a variant that will come polybagged with a collectible trading card tied to Exquisite Corpses: The Game, which recently was successfully funded on Kickstarter. 

Exquisite Corpses: Lone Gunman #1 will be available at comic book shops on Wednesday, November 4.

Vanishing Point #3 has some interesting aspects and potential but overall falls flat

Posted on by

In “Cell Structure”, a floating research station performs horrifying experiments on alien prisoners to discover the common elements of life and all living things. The brainchild of Mark Russell, Vanishing Point is an anthology series of short stories that are part science fiction and part existential horror, with an exceptional roster of artists tackling each tale. These are stories with a twist in which the twist is not the point of the story, but a beginning point from which to ask what it means to be alive.

Mark Russell and Mark London Explore the Dystopia We’re Already Living in Terrorbytes

Posted on by

No algorithm is safe. Mad Cave Studios has announced Terrorbytes, a chilling sci-fi horror anthology that unplugs the comforts of modern tech to expose the real cost beneath the surface. Co-written by Eisner, GLAAD, and Ringo Award-winner Mark Russell and Mad Cave’s own CEO Mark London, this ongoing series launches Fall 2025 with a revolving cast of top-tier artists and storytellers—and a mission to make you question the very screens you’re reading from.

In an age where technology intertwines seamlessly with our everyday lives, Terrorbytes delves deeper into the shadows of our digital existence, exploring the uncharted territories of human consciousness shaped by technological evolution. This new series pushes the boundaries of speculative fiction, presenting stories that challenge the very essence of identity, morality, and reality in a hyper-connected world. In the first issue, a headset that lets users relive their greatest memories at the moment of their death extracts a brutal price.

Each issue delivers standalone stories that tap into our worst digital-age fears—stories that feel uncomfortably close to home, yet set just far enough in the future to feel like warnings. This is Tales from the Loop meets EC Comics, a jolt to the system through brutal, brilliant storytelling that explores surveillance, AI ethics, online radicalization, deepfakes, virtual reality, and everything we never meant to hand over. The upcoming issues will feature standout art from Juan Doe, Alberto Ponticelli, Val Halvorsen, and Felix Ruiz, each bringing their own unique style to the series.

So log off. Terrorbytes #1 hits shelves in Fall 2025.
