Welcome to the end of the Wild West. Welcome to the quiet life of a broken-down bounty hunter whose own story, one of bloodshed, pain, and guilt, ended long ago—or so he thought.

In a small town called Ashecott, something evil has arrived. Something more dangerous than a gunslinger, more sinister than an outlaw, and older than the town it seeks to infect. Something from a world beyond the only one its victims have ever known. Something darker.

Unfortunately for that evil, Jonah Hex has taken notice. Not just of the otherworldly entities surrounding his home, or the child with mysterious abilities they seek to capture—but also of the chance to finally redeem himself.

Join master of horror Michael Walsh as he begins a terrifying new era of DC’s haunted bounty hunter!

The Demon pushes the initiative into bold new territory with Harren’s mix of monsters, raw emotion, and sharp intensity.

The world is infested with a darkness its people cannot see. Beasts from Hell feast on humanity’s soul, sucking it dry and leaving nothing but a shell behind.

Only one person can see these monsters and cast them back to Hell: Jason Blood! But he is a shadow of the man he once was, wandering the world following the face of a wizard long gone and hearing a voice in his head demanding to be let out.

How can Jason Blood help protect the world from demons when he himself is not sure how to work with the one bound to his soul? Will the Demon Etrigan ever rise again?

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.

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 #12 is a bit predictable but still a lot of fun to read

Two killers remain to determine who will control the true fate of the country for years to come. But before the loser’s blood runs cold, an offer will be made that changes everything…
