Odin #5
(W) James Tynion IV, Marguerite Bennett (A) Letizia Cadonici
Adela and the surviving members of this woefully unprepared band of Neo Nazis have crossed the threshold. There is no turning back. There never was. Every step they take from this point forward will require sacrifice. They must be willing to give up a piece of themselves — or each other — to proceed.
The upcoming all-star anthology comic Exquisite Corpses: Book of the Dead will unveil the terrifying origins of the grisly killers from bestselling hit series Exquisite Corpses Season 1. The extra-length one-shot comic, hitting shelves in January 2027 from Image Comics and James Tynion IV’s production house Tiny Onion. It will feature a murderers’ row of writers and artists and follows the launch of three Exquisite Corpses spin-off miniseries, each about one of a trio of favorite killers from the bloody first season (Rascal Randy, Fox Mask Killer, and Lone Gunman).
Exquisite Corpses: Book of the Dead features stories written not only by series co-creators, Eisner award-winning horror masterminds James Tynion IV and Michael Walsh, but also by Jordie Bellaire, Marguerite Bennett, Patrick Horvath, Alyssa Wong, Steve Orlando, Josh Trujillo, Soo Lee, Victor Lavalle, and Losty.
The top-tier writers will be joined by popular artists David Lafuente, Piotr Kowalski, Lauren Knight, Claire Roe, Alexandre Tefenkgi, Lisandro Estherren, Brian Level, Francesca Ciregia, and Ryan Quackenbush.
The issue will also feature a darkly gorgeous main cover and surprise polybagged variant by Walsh as well as variant covers by A-list artists such as Brian Level, Ito, Federico Mele, and Tula Lotay. The polybagged variant will have a collectible trading card tied to Exquisite Corpses: The Game.
Now readers will discover the backstories of the other infamous assassins while also getting a scary sneak peek at one of the new killers from the upcoming Season 2.
In the first season of Exquisite Corpses, twelve of the deadliest killers in the world entered Oak Valley on Halloween night. But only one would survive to see the dawn. For the rest, their stories ended in decapitation, conflagration, or even more ignoble defeats. But now, thanks to overwhelming demand, creators from across the horror spectrum have assembled to reveal the never-before-seen origins of Exquisite Corpses’ cast of assassins, mercenaries, and madmen! Discover the Congregation’s unholy mission, the spark behind Layla Blaze’s scars, Lady Carolina’s first hunt, and more in this extra-sized, blood-soaked issue.
The 80-page Exquisite Corpses: Book of the Dead ($9.99) will be available at comic book shops on Wednesday, January 13.
