MEET THE FULL ROGUES’ GALLERY OF 'EXQUISITE CORPSES' KILLERS05/09/25 @ 11:04 am EST
Source: Image Comics | Categories: Image Comics | Comments (0) | E-mail Article | Add a CommentLet the
Exquisite Corpses game begin… The twelfth and final hired killer, The Lone Gunman, was revealed yesterday, exclusively

at
ComicBook. Now all 12 of the hired killers will hit the small town of Oak Valley, Maine, for this year’s bloody battle royale as fans speculate on who will be the last one standing after the gore hits.
Tiny Onion and Image Comics’
Exquisite Corpses—crafted by masterminds James Tynion IV (
The Deviant, The Department of Truth), Michael Walsh (
Universal Monsters: Frankenstein, The Silver Coin), and the “Corpse Crew” of creators—launches with the first issue hitting shelves next Wednesday, May 14, followed by the kickoff of the
Corpse Tour ’25 at
Revenge Of next Friday, May 16, with a Halloween-themed bash.
Exquisite Corpses will launch as an initial 13-issue story arc, but will expand with additional stories in the future. There will also be a companion
trading card game launching soon, and fans can start collecting killer cards early with ones exclusively found in polybagged Cover C variants of each issue.
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: the 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 series uniquely came together in a writers’ room led by Tynion IV and Walsh and made up of “Corpse Crew” comics superstars Adam Gorham (
Hellhunters), Becca Carey (
Absolute Wonder Woman), Che Grayson (
Dark Spaces: Good Deeds), Claire Roe (
Dark Spaces: The Hollywood Special), Gavin Fullerton (
The Closet), Jordie Bellaire (
Redlands), Marianna Ignazzi (
Catwoman), Pornsak Pichetshote (
The Good Asian), Tyler Boss (
You’ll Do Bad Things), and Valentine De Landro (
Bitch Planet). Each issue of the series will build upon the last in a true 'exquisite corpse' game style, with a passing of the baton, from creator-to-creator, to unfold the story in a collaborative and competitive fashion.
The first round of hitters was
previously revealed, and now a new contingency of cold-blooded killers are entering the game to fill out the roster. In the spirit of March Madness, each issue of
Exquisite Corpses will feature playoff brackets that track the in-world competition—and readers will be able to play along at home, guessing who they think will live, who will die, and who will ultimately win the game.

The Lone Gunman is a tall, dark, and mysterious player who never misses his mark. Here’s his official description from the confidential game dossier files:
MASSACHUSETTS selects LONE GUNMAN to wield THE GUN. Kill Count: REDACTED, Height: 6' 3”. Highly trained and highly dangerous, LONE GUNMAN puts years of combat training to use as he efficiently dispatches his opponents—or any collateral damage who get in the way. Dishonorably discharged for battlefield atrocities now sealed in government records, LONE GUNMAN'S penchant for excessive violence has become a benefit, not a hindrance, to his performance in this tournament…"Lone Gunman is the embodiment of the
Exquisite Corpses competition, in many ways," said Tynion. "This smirking, ornate mask being handed down generation to generation, turning tributes into faceless killing machines at the whims of the oligarchs...Tough to get much scarier than that."
Lone Gunman joins the ranks of these already revealed killers:
LEOPOLD STRONG:NORTH CAROLINA selects LEOPOLD STRONG to wield THE HAMMER. Kill Count: 23. Height: 6' 5". Some killers might be afraid that an opponent could steal their signature weapon, but not LEOPOLD STRONG. He alone is strong enough to heft the massive mallet that he wields to pound flesh and bone into so much bloodied paste. It's unknown if he truly comes from the circus or merely likes the theatricality of the look, but what is clear is that LEOPOLD STRONG is easily the most physically imposing murderer in this year's games. Heave ho!
RECLUSE:RHODE ISLAND selects RECLUSE to wield THE ROPE. Kill Count: 64. Height: 5' 10". An artist with wires and ropes, RECLUSE sets her own field of battle, drawing opponents into traps from which few leave intact. Though she's deadly on the move with a garrote in hand, RECLUSE prefers a patient approach, lying in wait until her razor-wires snare her opponents. Some say her love of ropes borders on fetishism, but few get close enough to find out the truth.
FOX MASK KILLER:NEW YORK selects FOX MASK KILLER to wield THE SWORD. Kill Count: 87. Height: 5' l". Among killers-for-hire, there are a select few feared even by other assassins. The enigmatic swordswoman known as FOX MASK KILLER is at the top of that list, having achieved a reputation for completing her jobs with ruthless efficiency--and for chasing increasingly challenging targets. Whether she sees the tournament as just another paycheck, or a chance to push herself past her limits, remains to be seen.
PRETTY BOY:GEORGIA selects PRETTY BOY to wield THE AXE. Kill Count: 36. Height: 6' 2". Despite what Hollywood tries to sell the masses, most serial killers are charmless, asocial monsters. Most, anyway. PRETTY BOY, on the other hand, could kill with a wink and a flash of his pearly whites. He prefers an axe, though. Like many a heartthrob, PRETTY BOY takes out his pent-up rage through wanton violence, splattering his six-pack abs with gore with every swing of the axe. He has the honor of wielding the weapon that won the very first game ever conducted, but the significance is lost on him--he's just here to look good and get bloody.
LADY CAROLINA:SOUTH CAROLINA selects LADY CAROLINA to wield THE ARROW. Kill Count: 7 Height: 5' 8". No one from the patron families enters the games themselves. It is simply unheard of. So when LADY CAROLINA stepped foot inside the arena, the other families were aghast. She comes from noble stock and received the best training their money could buy, but it still feels like a transgression. Is she simply seeking a death-defying thrill? Or does she have a more personal reason for aiming her crossbow at this year's set of killers…
THE CONGREGATION:NEW HAMPSHIRE selects THE CONGREGATION to wield THE KNIFE. Kill Count: 39. Height: 6' 0". The only killer in the game to turn down a fee from his patron family, THE CONGREGATION feels that taking a life is a higher calling--a monk-like tribute to whatever dark gods whisper in his ears. And while he's almost certainly a raving lunatic (you'd have to be, to cover yourself in the sliced-off faces of your victims), THE CONGREGATION'S knife has brought many offerings to his altar, and will no doubt bring many more still before his prayers are finished.
RASCAL RANDY:NEW JERSEY selects RASCAL RANDY to wield THE HANDS. Kill Count: 19. Height: 5' 11". There is a man inside the RASCAL RANDY costume, but that man doesn't matter. That man has never mattered. He was no one until he put the mascot head on for the first time, until he felt the life leave someone's body through the thickly furred gloves of the suit. The man inside the suit will wear any disguise if necessary, but his true skin is RASCAL RANDY, and god help anyone who sees him coming toward them on a dark night.
LAYLA BLAZE:DELAWARE selects LAYLA BLAZE to wield FIRE. Kill Count: 335. Height: 5' 3". They say some people just want to see the world burn, but LAYLA BLAZE will settle for seeing anything go up in flames. It's unclear if the burn marks that criss-cross her body are the results of fires that got out of control...or LAYLA BLAZE running out of any other kindling. All that can be said for sure is that she burns hot in life, love, and the act of killing, and leaves only ashes in her wake.
SLATER:MARYLAND selects SLATER to wield EXPLOSIVES. Kill Count: 124. Height: 5' 10". Tick...tick...BOOM! The hot young thing known as SLATER has never had a problem attracting attention, but his entourages have a habit of blowing up—as does anything else in his vicinity. Under the right circumstances, SLATER might have channeled his fascinations with pyrotechnics into something productive—instead, he's just a walking powderkeg.
NURSE PETE:VIRGINIA selects NURSE PETE to wield POISON. Kill Count: ???. Height: 5' 6". No one would guess that the unassuming, schlubby NURSE PETE had a body count approaching three figures, and that's just how he likes it. A compulsive killer who endlessly tweaks his deadly cocktails of paralyzing narcotics and tests them on patients around the country, NURSE PETE is usually content to slip from hospital to nursing home to pediatric ward, changing identities just in time to avoid being noticed. But the sum offered to him for joining this game would pay for oh so many tantalizing new chemical components...
G4M3R_KlD & CALVIN:CONNECTICUT selects G4M3R_KlD to wield ELECTRICITY. Kill Count: 9. Height: 4' 0". Aww, c'mon—you wouldn't hurt a little kid, would you? A product of the iPad generation, weaned on slur-filled gaming lobbies, G4M3R_KlD has no business being anywhere near an event like this, but he's so desensitized to violence that he has no qualms piloting CALVIN, his heavily armed drone, and aiming it at any target in sight. Kill counts are just high scores to this tyke, and he wants to see his name on the leaderboard.

THE AGE OF APOCALYPSE IS REBORN IN 'X-MEN OF APOCALYPSE', A NEW EVENT SERIES05/09/25 @ 11:00 am EST
Source: Marvel | Categories: Age of Apocalypse | Comments (0) | E-mail Article | Add a CommentThis September, Marvel Comics marks the 30th anniversary of
Age of Apocalypse, a groundbreaking X-Men storyline, with X-MEN OF APOCALYPSE, an all-new six-part event series by legendary writer Jeph Loeb, one of the creators behind the original
Age of Apocalypse, and, in his first series since returning to Marvel earlier this year, Eisner nominated artist Simone Di Meo.
Mirroring the first
Age of Apocalypse saga, X-MEN OF APOCALYPSE will kick off in X-MEN OF APOCALYPSE ALPHA #1, continue through X-MEN OF APOCALYPSE #1-4 starting in November, and conclude in X-MEN OF APOCALYPSE OMEGA #1. A prelude to the event will be featured in
Giant-Size Age of Apocalypse #1 next month, where Loeb and Di Meo team up for the one-shot’s special Revelations Backup story.
THE X-MEN OF APOCALYPSE CRASH INTO THE MAIN MARVEL UNIVERSE! A dystopian future created when Charles Xavier was killed, AGE OF APOCALYPSE is home to a wartorn group of X-Men led by Magneto. In order to free their Earth from Apocalypse’s cruel reign, they were willing to sacrifice their very existence—or so they thought! The main timeline was restored, Apocalypse was defeated, but their world lived on!
Taking place in the direct aftermath of the original crossover’s explosive finale, X-MEN OF APOCALYPSE reignites the mission of this iconic reality’s X-Men as they journey here to ensure their universe’s survival. This desperate mission will take them into the main Marvel Universe, where they will come into conflict with their classic counterparts, forever impacting both team’s destinies!
“Thirty years ago, THE X-MEN OF APOCALYPSE took the comics world by storm and I was lucky enough to be part of it,” Loeb shared. “There were new characters! New designs! Heroes who were villains and villains who were heroes! Now, for the 30th anniversary, an all-new, all-different story with spectacular art by Simone Di Meo brings us to this uncanny team that shouldn't even exist -- and they are coming here! Join Gambit, Sabretooth & Wild Child, Blink, Forge and Morph and more as they try to save one universe without dooming another!”
"Working with a legend like Jeph is really exciting,” Di Meo said. “I've known his work for years along with the great impact it’s had on this industry and I'm really honored. Beyond that, I've really found a friend and someone who’s passionate about his work so it's really nice to work with him, Marvel and Tom [Brevoort] together day by day trying to build the best book of my career.
"Being able to touch a legendary story like
Age of Apocalypse is unexpected for me, that event has an important place in Marvel history, and being able to enter it and give my own take is absolutely incredible. I'm giving my all to make all the readers happy, from the longtime fans who loved the event in the ‘90s and the new ones who I hope can become just as passionate about it. I’m excited and nervous at the same time!"
Check out the main cover for X-MEN OF APOCALYPSE ALPHA #1 by Simone Di Meo along with a first look at interior artwork and stay tuned for more news about the series in the weeks ahead, including exciting variant cover reveals.


'VAMPIRELLA' PAPERBACK ARCHIVES REACH THRILLING THIRD VOLUME05/08/25 @ 4:25 pm EST
Source: Dynamite | Categories: Vampirella | Comments (0) | E-mail Article | Add a Comment 
As the summer heats up in August, Dynamite Entertainment is bringing the heat too with a thrilling third entry in the newly established paperback line of the much-sought
Vampirella Archives. Vampirella Archives Volume Three collects issues #15-21 of the
Vampirella, the Daughter of Drakulon's first ever ongoing magazine anthology series released at the time by Warren Publishing. This third volume covers the entire stretch of issues released in the year 1972.
The second volume featured beloved creator and editor Archie Goodwin taking the reins and rapidly revitalizing the lore of the titular vampiress, establishing a tradition for nearly every issue of the mag to feature a chapter in her ongoing adventures. Fans will get a taste of the era's most iconic Vampi illustrator Jose Gonzalez in that book, and now in this third book every single solo story of the Drakulonian dame features his stunning work.
In addition to Goodwin and Gonzalez, Volume Three also features the run on the character by T. Casey Brennan, across issues #17-21. His final chapter is co-written by the legendary Steve Englehart, whose brief run continues in the forthcoming fourth book, acclaimed for his tenures on titles like
Avengers, Defenders, Captain America, Doctor Strange, Batman in
Detective Comics, and many more.
Front and central for Vampi's tales in this entry are her encounters with the deadly Dracula. Featured in the future by top creators like Kurt Busiek, James Robinson, and Christopher Priest, this is where the two first crossed paths! For Vampirella fans, the editorial feature from #19 is indispensable for diving into the behind the scenes of how the character was created.
Another big draw for this edition is its inclusion of almost all the chapters of Spanish genius Esteban Maroto's
Tomb of the Gods feature. His artwork is absolutely jaw-dropping, and he would continue to be a key contributor to the magazine, and eventually drawing some of Vampi's own stories, like the pivotal first appearance of the Blood Red Queen of Hearts in #49.
Other luminaries with writing and artwork featured within these issues include Doug Moench (
Moon Knight, Batman)
, Jose Bea, Don McGregor (
Black Panther)
, Richard Corben (
Den), Pat Boyette (
The Phantom, Peacemaker), Luis Garcia, Jan Strnad (
Sword of the Atom), Steve Skeates (
Aquaman,
Hawk and Dove), Greg Potter (
Wonder Woman), and more. All wrapped under included covers by Sanjulian, Enrich Torres, and Luis Dominguez.
These paperback printings of the comprehensive archival reprints of Vampirella's first decade-plus-spanning title are set to release every two months, working towards the 15 volume final set. They are printed at magazine dimensions to match the original format. Stories are primarily in black and white.

'THUNDERCATS' COMIC ESCALATES WITH EPIC FOURTH ARC05/08/25 @ 4:21 pm EST
Source: Dynamite | Categories: Thundercats | Comments (0) | E-mail Article | Add a Comment
The
ThunderCats comic book saga raises the stakes — and the swords — this May with the start of the fabulous fourth story arc of the flagship series, from Dynamite Entertainment and Warner Bros. Discovery Global Consumer Products.
Tireless talents Declan Shalvey (
Mystique, The Terminator) and Drew Moss (
Gargoyles: Dark Ages) pull out all the stops starting in
ThunderCats #16 with a series of Third Earth-shattering revelations and a major level up for the titular feline warriors. In the preceding storyline, the 'Cats were met with both significant discovery and tragic loss.
“The first year of bringing
ThunderCats back to comics, to old fans and new, has been a thrilling experience," said writer Declan Shalvey. "It’s been a privilege for myself and Drew Moss to establish a new mythos for these characters in comics, and seeing it build out into new and exciting connected series like
SilverHawks and
ThunderCats Lost. Now the playing field for our series is bigger and bolder, our characters face greater challenges requiring a new innovation: The Knights of Thundera.”
Their traditional leader of Lion-O is missing in action, motivating Cheetara to step up and take the mantle. The mysterious new character to this series (first appearing in #2) Calica has returned. Tygra has crafted a new metal alloy christened Thundore and outfitted the team with armored suits, which Panthro now requires in order to walk following his injuries at the hands of Mumm-Ra. And when another unexpected character crashes the party in Bengali, last seen in companion series
ThunderCats Lost, tensions flare.

In spite of all these curveballs and uncertainties, the ThunderCats begin a new era on their newfound home of Third Earth, establishing the Knights of Thundera, to be a more proactive security force hunting down and crippling their enemies. Each new knight is equipped with a fearsome new sword, all matched to their characterization and existing fighting styles and designed by Drew Moss, alongside their new armors.
With their offensive and defensive capabilities upgraded, that won't stop forces from continuing to clash and lay siege to them. The question remains, will this new incarnation of the team be able to deal with what comes next?
This next story arc and perfect opportunity to jump right into the franchise is complemented by a set of stunning covers from Shalvey and Moss, as well as Lucio Parrillo, Jae Lee, and Manix Abrera.

Co-directors Higgins and Korbel will now be shopping the series to animation studios and streamers.
The comedic crime series will follow a detective and his partner, who is alien. Higgins describes it as a “satirical take on classic noir film set in a more futuristic setting.” Episodes are expects to be in the 11-20 minute range.
Higgins and Korbel related that the pilot was created with Runway tools, by roughly a dozen artists. “We kind of made use of their tools in as many different ways as possible throughout the process,” Higgins said. “We ourselves are very traditional animators, so we did everything from a base level by hand, and then we kind of used Runway and their tools (including its latest Gen-4 AI model) to assist with all of the steps in the process.” (via Variety)

Jar Jar Binks will make his Disney+ return later this year. The bumbling Gungan-turned-galactic senator has long drawn the ire of Star Wars fans; however, a reversal in sentiment surrounding the
Phantom Menace character has started to slowly make waves among the Star Wars faithful.

LEGO Star Wars Rebuild the Galaxy: Pieces of the Past. Played once again by Ahmed Best, the infamous prequels character is set to play a significant role in the four-part LEGO Star Wars streaming special, which will debut on Disney+ on September 19, 2025.
Binks' inclusion in
Pieces of the Past was officially confirmed by showrunners Dan Hernandez and Benji Samit in a conversation with StarWars.com, saying that the special will explore "what's next" for several characters, including Jar Jar Binks.

The event begins this June in BRING ON THE BAD GUYS: DOOM #1 by Emmy Award-winning writer Marc Guggenheim and acclaimed artist Stefano Raffaele and continues in July with BRING ON THE BAD GUYS: GREEN GOBLIN #1, BRING ON THE BAD GUYS: ABOMINATION #1, and BRING ON THE BAD GUYS: LOKI #1, each delivered by all-star creative teams.

In addition to writing the first and last installments, Guggenheim will team up with artist Michael Sta. Maria for a backup story in each issue shedding light on Mephisto’s overarching scheme and the mysterious new villain SISTER SORROW!
Acclaimed writer and military-history buff Stephanie Phillips and moody, dynamic artist Tomasso Bianchi dive deep into their dark sides in BRING ON THE BAD GUYS: RED SKULL #1!

Victory is in Mephisto’s grasp as he prepares to take control over all souls on Earth! But who is the mysterious figure who stands against him?
“Marvel broke the mold with supervillains, pushing them past the archetypical to the complex and some even morally gray but still to be feared,” Editor Mark Paniccia added. “Each of these one-shots are an opportunity for fans to see what makes these villains some of the most dangerous characters in the Marvel Universe.”
