Enter the Home of Jack and his Undead Family with a Behind-the-Scenes Look at Everything Dead & Dying by Tate Brombal and Jacob Phillips

Open the door of Jack’s home to enter the world of Everything Dead & Dying with an early behind-the-scenes look at the creation of the heartbreaking pastoral horror western by acclaimed creators writer Tate Brombal and artist Jacob Phillips. This early sneak peek shares the process of making a sequence from the upcoming zombie miniseries coming from Tiny Onion and Image Comics; the pages show protagonist Jack reliving the last moments of his family’s life on what appears to be a normal morning…at first. 

With a showcase of the process from original script pages, to penciled pages, to inked and washed pages, to the final pages, readers can get their first bite of the gorgeous and deadly new series. Everything Dead & Dying #1 hits shelves this September, with the Final Order Cutoff date for retailers to order this Monday, August 11. 

Joined by first-time colorist Pip Martin and celebrated letterer Aditya Bidikar, Brombal and Phillips are bringing their respective expertise in both horror and westerns to the table to deliver a zombie story where genres bleed into each other in an utterly unique way. Fans of The Walking Dead, Essex County, and The Last of Us will love this original western horror series. In Everything Dead & Dying, Jack Chandler is the sole survivor of the zombie apocalypse in his rural farming community, but rather than eliminate them, he has chosen to continue living alongside the undead—including the husband and adopted daughter he fought so hard to have. But when his town is discovered by outsiders, Jack suddenly becomes the one thing standing in the way of his family and those who hope to kill them for good.

With an FOC date of Monday, August 11, Everything Dead & Dying #1 will be available at comic book shops on Wednesday, September 3.

The first two issues of Exquisite Corpses head back for new printings

The highly successful, critical hit Exquisite Corpses—by masterminds James Tynion IV, Michael Walsh, and the “Corpse Crew” of creators—has sold out yet again at the distributor level. Image Comics will rush both issue #1 and #2 of this hot new thriller from Tiny Onion back to print this week in order to keep up with escalating reorder activity.

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.

Exquisite Corpses #2 features a knife-wielding zealot covered in human skin, a heartthrob with an axe, a pint-sized sociopath with a high-powered drone, and so much more…the killers are descending on Oak Valley—and the body count is rising. Walsh and Tynion IV are joined by rising star Marianna Ignazzi (Catwoman) for this bloody chapter to the story.

The series came together in a writers’ room led by Tynion IV and Walsh and made up of “Corpse Crew” comics superstars Adam Gorham, Becca Carey, Che Grayson, Claire Roe, Gavin Fullerton, Jordie Bellaire, Marianna Ignazzi, Pornsak Pichetshote, Tyler Boss, and Valentine De Landro. Each issue of the series builds upon the last in a true ‘exquisite corpse’ game style, with a passing of the storytelling baton from creator-to-creator in a collaborative and competitive fashion.

Exquisite Corpses begins with a 13-issue story arc, but its world will expand with additional stories. There is also a companion trading card game and fans can collect killer cards early with ones exclusively found in polybagged Cover C variants of each issue. Fans eager to play the game early can collect all 13 polybagged issues to make a complete card deck set.

Exquisite Corpses #1, third printing (Lunar Code 0425IM896), Exquisite Corpses #2, second printing (Lunar Code 0425IM897), and Exquisite Corpses #2, second printing polybag (Lunar Code 0425IM898) will all be available at comic book shops on Wednesday, July 30.

We’re Taking Everyone Down With Us #4 is Another Fantastic Issue Packed with Humor and Surprises

We're Taking Everyone Down With Us #4

They say that before you begin a journey of revenge, you should dig two graves, but Annalise and her robot are going to need a lot more than that. Way more. Even more than you’re thinking. Also in this issue: a guy gets his head punched off! We’re Taking Everyone Down With Us #4 delivers a great mix of action and comedy with a surprise ending that’ll change up the dynamics.

Written by Matthew Rosenberg, We’re Taking Everyone Down With Us #4 features so much of what you’d expect from a comic from Rosenberg. The series as a whole has come off as a love letter to superhero comics and spy tales, especially those that are rather silly in their nature (we’re looking at you James Bond of the 80s). The characters are all larger than life and the action about as subtle as a nuclear explosion.

But, Rosenberg makes sure to make his comics more than just surface level pop-culture entertainment. We’re Taking Everyone Down With Us #4 is an example of that as the relationship between Annalise and her robot protector grows and an introduction at the end adds a level of family drama. Rosenberg gives us characters who are far more than their focus on revenge and far more than creative ways to fight and blow things up. This is a story of a young woman who has had a really messed up family life and isn’t quite accepting of that.

Stefano Landini‘s art continues the blunt fun of the comic delivering both the action and even the drama with an exaggerated glee. With Jason Wordie on color and Hassan Otsmane-Elhaou, the art continues to be fantastic with a blend of inspiration that creates a world that we want to see more of. Other than one panel where a robot hand looks to be a human hand, the comic’s art has been on point with every issue delivering a frenetic style that perfectly matches the tone of the series’ story.

We’re Taking Everyone Down With Us #4 is another fantastic issue with a blend of concepts and worlds that creates an entertaining series we want to see more of. It’s nailed every single issue with a glee at its over the top aspect of it all but also knows at its core is a family drama that really brings it all together.
