Odin invites readers into a Dark World by James Tynion IV, Marguerite Bennett, and Letizia Cadonici. Get an early look!

Posted on April 25, 2026 by Graphic Policy Team

An advance preview of Odin invites readers to step into the dark world of the original limited series co-created by five-time Eisner Award-winning writer James Tynion IV, bestselling writer Marguerite Bennett, and fan-favorite artist Letizia Cadonici. The nine-issue series, produced by Tynion’s production house Tiny Onion and published by Image Comics, follows an undercover journalist reporting on a group of deluded Neo-Nazis foolishly seeking glory and instead facing the wrath of Norse gods. Green Room meets Midsommar with a touch of The Ritual in this relentless, no-holds-barred horror story.

The new preview, sharing the beginning of Odin #1, starts with a visual punch: Odin disemboweled and disfigured, hangs from a tree, being pecked by a group of crows. The next pages offer a glimpse into the journey of journalist Adela, showing her infiltration of a Neo-Nazi punk band who are following a skin map to what they believe to be their promised land where they can rise to full white supremacist power. The series will follow in the frozen footsteps of thrill-seeking Adela as she ventures into the Norwegian forest with the Neo Nazi punks. But what awaits them in the woods is far older and stranger than any of them can comprehend, and no gods are coming to answer their prayers.

Debuting this May, Odin features hallucinogenic colors by Eisner Award winner Jordie Bellaire and sharp letters by the acclaimed Tom Napolitano. The series is cleverly designed by Dylan Todd and edited by horror pros Steve Foxe and Eric Harburn.

Odin will have gorgeous main covers by celebrated comic and album artist Alex Eckman-Lawn, who is illustrating Cover A for the full series. The series will also spotlight variants by series artist Cadonici and all-star artists like Christian Ward, Martin Simmonds, Jae Lee, Annie Wu, Tula Lotay, Sam Wolfe Connelly, Wes Craig, and more.

Odin #1 will be available at comic book stores on Wednesday, May 20th, 2026.

Preview: Plague House #1

Posted on April 3, 2025 by Graphic Policy Team

Plague House #1

(W) Michael W. Conrad (A/CA) Dave Chisholm
In Shops: Apr 02, 2025
SRP: $4.99

“HOUSES AREN’T THE ONLY THING THAT ARE HAUNTED. . . . This spring, architect of terror Michael W. Conrad (Wonder Woman, In Bloom) and 2024 Ringo Award-winner Dave Chisholm (Miles Davis and the Search for the Sound) begin a deep and disturbing excursion into 21st century-horror with a new kind of tale that will rebuild the four walls of the American ghost story from the foundation up . . .

Thirteen years ago, Orin McCabe was a family man living a privileged life in the suburbs. Today, he’s condemned to death row for murdering his entire family in an unexpected fit of hammer-wielding brutality. In the aftermath of his heinous crime, it’s fallen to a trio of eclectic, but dedicated, ghost hunters-Jacob, the holy man; Holland, the skeptic; and their leader, Del, a true believer in the occult and worlds beyond-to surveil the abandoned McCabe home in search of proof for the existence of the undead . . . and whatever supernatural source may have possibly fueled McCabe’s inhuman massacre. But this ill-matched and uneasy squad of investigators is about to discover something much more terrifying than any ordinary spirit. . . . Something much more pernicious, much more contagious, that if not contained, could take full advantage of America’s unquenchable appetite for violence and deliver a plague of blood unto us all . . .”

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

Posted on February 23, 2025 by Graphic Policy Team

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.

Is entropy the end, or is there another way? The mysterious Keeper Program in a cyberpunk, decaying Vancouver of the near-future has developed highly-advanced technology that calls this into question, playing god with the meaning of human life itself.

But the secrets of the Keeper Program grow deep, with the heart of everything directly connected to the chilling trail that Bennie follows. He won’t be the same after what he uncovers…

Eisner-winning and Harvey-nominated writer and director Darcy Van Poelgeest (Little Bird) is joined by rising star artist Caio Filipe (Stranger Things: Tales From Hawkins) for this timely and thought-provoking look into the human condition, set in a dystopia that’s as grounded as it is metaphysical.

From the JFK Assassination to Flat Earth Theory and Reptilian Shapeshifters, one organization has been covering them up for generations. What is the deep, dark secret behind the Department of Truth? This is the perfect series for fans of The X-Files and Something is Killing the Children.
