SDCC 2026: Tiny Onion Announces its Tour Stop

Posted on June 29, 2026 by Graphic Policy Team Leave a comment

James Tynion IV’s production house Tiny Onion is returning to San Diego Comic-Con this July! The popular Corpse Tour is adding a new stop at Now and Never Comics on SDCC Saturday, July 25, to celebrate the release of Exquisite Corpses: Rascal Randy #1 and the hit comic book series. Exquisite Corpses co-creators Tynion and Michael Walsh, Rascal Randy writer Tyler Boss, and cover artist Christian Ward will be participating in a Q&A and signing at the event.

Limited tickets for the event are available now via this link. There are two types of tickets, VIP and Signing Only: the VIP ticket gets fans access to the Q&A, early access to the signing (limit of 3 signed items per ticket), and the Now Or Never Comics store exclusive variant of Exquisite Corpses: Rascal Randy #1 by artist Guillaume Martinez. The Signing Only ticket gets fans access to the signing (limit of 3 signed items per ticket) starting at 9:00pm PST, once the Q&A has wrapped up.

In Exquisite Corpses, every five years on Halloween, the wealthiest families in America play a game. Twelve 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 first issue can be read digitally for free on the Image Comics site.

Exquisite Corpses was the biggest original IP comic hit of 2025; over 600k issues have been sold to date in collaboration with Image Comics, marking the best debut comic for five-time Eisner Award-winning writer Tynion in over three years, in collaboration with artist Walsh and the Corpse Crew of a dozen exciting creators. Exquisite Corpses: Rascal Randy is the first limited series spinning out of the main series. Boss is joined by fan-favorite artist Dylan Burnett, Eisner Award-winning colorist Jordie Bellaire, and star letterer Becca Carey on the series about the terrifying bunny mascot killer. The first issue hits shelves on July 8.

The horror franchise is growing to include not just Exquisite Corpses: Rascal Randy, but also two other new spinoff limited series (Exquisite Corpses: Fox Mask Killer by Che Grayson and Exquisite Corpses: Lone Gunman by Pornsak Pichetshote), along with an anthology one-shot (Exquisite Corpses: Book of the Dead) in addition to the upcoming second season, the feature film adaptation, and the tabletop card game.

The Tiny Onion team is also celebrating 9 Will Eisner Comic Industry Awards nominations at San Diego Comic-Con, including nominations for Exquisite Corpses. In collaboration with publishers BOOM! Studios, Dark Horse, DC, DSTLRY, and Image Comics, Tiny Onion’s produced works and collaborators have been nominated in the categories of Best New Series, Best Continuing Series, Best One-Shot/Single Issue, Best Limited Series, Best Writer, Best Penciler/Inker, Best Coloring, Best Painter/Multimedia Artist, and Best Lettering. Widely regarded as “the Oscars of comics,” the prestigious Eisner Awards honor the industry’s very best comic books and graphic novels, and the creatives behind those works. The winners are nominated by esteemed industry judges and chosen by industry professionals. The gala awards ceremony will be held at the San Diego Hilton Bayfront Hotel during Comic-Con on the evening of July 24.

Universal Monsters: Blood of the Wolf Man #1

(W) Joshua Williamson (A) Leomacs

Adam Jaeger thought he could become someone new at college… but not like this. One moment he was partying, the next he’s recovering from a massacre that left almost no survivors. The worst part? He might be responsible…

As the monster within tries to claw loose, Adam will do anything he can to stop from becoming…THE WOLF MAN.

Universal Monsters: Blood of the Wolf Man

The Visions is that good. Don’t miss the Marvel Premier Collection edition

Posted on June 3, 2026 by Brett

The android Avenger known as the Vision wants to be human — and what’s more human than family? So he heads back to the beginning — to the laboratory where Ultron created him as a weapon. The place where he first rebelled against his destiny and imagined that he could be more — that he could be a man. There, he builds them. A wife, Virginia. Teenage twins, Viv and Vin. They look like him. They have his powers. They share his grandest ambition (or obsession): the unrelenting need to be ordinary. Behold the Visions! Theirs is a story of togetherness and tragedy — one that will set the former Avenger on course for a devastating confrontation with Earth’s Mightiest Heroes.

Tiny Onion’s Exquisite Corpses: The Game Comes to Kickstarter

Posted on May 14, 2026 by Graphic Policy Team

Tiny Onion has launched a Kickstarter campaign for Exquisite Corpses: The Game, a companion tabletop card game tied to the bestselling comic book series co-created by five-time Eisner Award-winning writer and CEO James Tynion IV and Eisner Award-winning artist Michael Walsh. Fans can now choose from various editions of the party game and additional rewards on the Kickstarter page, with limited time discounts for early bird backers.

Exquisite Corpses: The Game is a casual tabletop game perfect for fans of trading card classics like Magic: The Gathering and party experiences like Ultimate Werewolf. Needing only a deck of cards and some dice, a group of 4-12 players each pick their favorite killer and proceed to attack, bluff, and barter with their fellow killers until just one remains. No two games are alike, so players can immediately play again and again and get different results.

Since the project’s inception in February 2024, Tiny Onion have been designing and playtesting Exquisite Corpses: The Game alongside the comics’ creation. In addition to the standard Civilian Edition, Tiny Onion is producing two deluxe versions of the game: the elevated Killer Cache Edition, and the elite Thirteen Families Edition.

The Civilian Edition includes 12 killer cards, 24 event cards, 6 different status effect cards, and the instruction booklet. The deluxe Killer Cache Edition includes a special Killer Cache box with magnetic clasp, a Kickstarter exclusive reprint of Exquisite Corpses #1 with cover art by Ian Bertram, 12 oversized killer cards with new art, 24 event cards, premium wood status effect tokens, 13 pink resin dice in velvet bag, a pink and orange playmat, and a special Killer Cache edition exclusive event card. The top-tier Thirteen Families Edition includes a Thirteen Families box with a magnetic clasp, a Kickstarter exclusive reprint of Exquisite Corpses #1 with a gold foil cover, 12 oversized killer cards with new art in foil, 24 event cards, premium metal status effect tokens, 13 gold resin dice in velvet bag, a black and gold playmat, and a special Thirteen Families edition exclusive event card.

Aside from these editions, fans can also get even rarer rewards, including an option to get drawn into Season 2 of the comic book series, original card art by Michael Walsh, and the ultimate Historic Deck, featuring 10 original prototype cards from the first Exquisite Corpses summit, a private Zoom game with Walsh, Tynion, and the Corpse Crew, and all three editions. Retailers can also purchase packs of 25 copies and 100 copies. Fans can also get select add-ons to their orders, including blank sketch versions of the cards.

In the hit comic book series, the wealthiest families in America play a game every five years on Halloween. Twelve of the deadliest people in the world are dropped into a small town with just one goal: last killer standing wins. They call the game “Exquisite Corpses.”

The Kickstarter campaign will end on June 15th at 12pm ET and the game products are due to be shipped to backers between April 1, 2027 through June 30, 2027.

Exquisite Corpses’ Rascal Randy Gets the Spotlight this July

Posted on April 19, 2026 by Graphic Policy Team

Writer Tyler Boss, the scribe of Image Comics/Skybound bestselling series Universal Monsters: The Phantom of the Opera, and artist Dylan Burnett are joining forces for a new Exquisite Corpses spinoff featuring the terrifying character Rascal Randy. This five issue limited series produced by Tiny Onion reveals the origin story of the iconic bunny mascot killer and will hit shelves this July from Image Comics.

The sleepy little town of Aurora Springs, NY, has exactly one claim to fame: it’s the birthplace of Rascal Randy. Not the man in the suit—that man has never mattered. He was no one until he put the mascot head on for the first time… not until he felt the life leave someone’s body with his thickly furred gloves wrapped around them.

No, Aurora Springs is the birthplace of Rascal Randy the rabbit, who, once upon a time, was poised to become the greatest animated character this country had ever seen—until greed and tragedy changed his trajectory forever.

Witness the events before season one of Exquisite Corpses that made Rascal Randy New Jersey’s selection for America’s deadliest game. When chaos comes hopping into town, the secret sordid history of Rascal Randy will finally be revealed.

The launch issue will also feature highly collectible covers by top-tier artists such as Javier Pulido, Riley Rossmo, Brett Bean, and series artist Michael Walsh. Walsh’s variant will come polybagged with a collectible trading card tied to the soon-to-launch Exquisite Corpses: The Game, which he co-created with the Tiny Onion team; the game will be available to back on Kickstarter this May.

Exquisite Corpses: Rascal Randy #1 will be available at comic book shops on Wednesday, July 8.

Cover B by Boss
Cover C by Walsh polybag variant with collectible trading card
Cover D Blank Sketch
Cover E Secret Stealth variant
Cover F 1:25 copy incentive by Pulido
Cover G 1:50 copy incentive by Rossmo
Cover H 1:100 copy incentive by Bean
