Exquisite Corpses is an American action-horror comic book limited series created by James Tynion IV and Michael Walsh, and published by Image Comics and Tiny Onion on May 14, 2025.
Every five years on Halloween, the wealthiest families in the United States play a game in which twelve of the deadliest people in the world must kill each other to survive. This time, the game is set Oak Valley, Maine, where the citizens must survive these killers during the night.
The debut issue of Exquisite Corpses was published on May 14, 2025, having first been announced in October 2024 as Project Exquisite. The crew of artists included Adam Gorham, Becca Carey, Che Grayson, Claire Roe, Gavin Fullerton, Jordie Bellaire, Marianna Ignazzi, Pornsak Pichetshote, Tyler Boss, and Valentine De Landro.
In October 2025, Tynion revealed Exquisite Corpses had sold more than 400,000 copies in its first six months. He added that, although the series itself is a 13-issue maxi, there are locked in plans for a wider five-year run. This larger franchise is partially as a response to Skybound/Hasbro's Energon Universe.
In February 2026 at Tiny Onions ComicsPRO event, Tynion announced three spin-off mini-series Exquisite Corpses: Rascal Randy, Fox Mask Killer and Lone Gunman each focussing on killers from the first series with Rascal Randy debuting in July 2026. Also announced was the one-shot anthology Exquisite Corpses: Book of the Dead focussing on the other killers.
Tynion also confirmed that a second series of Exquisite Corpses would debut in 2027 set in a brand new town with brand new killers and civillians, with Michael Walsh returning to design the new killers.
The comic book received mostly positive reviews from critics.
