Introducing Corpse Tour ‘25

Plus: An Exquisite Release Party in LA!

Hey Lil’ Onions,

We only have 13 days until the release of the first issue of Exquisite Corpses. To celebrate, we’re announcing the first leg of Corpse Tour ‘25 and with it, the details of our release party with Revenge Of! If you missed it last time, you can read the ashcan -including the first ten pages of the 60 page issue #1 - here.

"I don't think I've ever set out to do a signing tour of this scale, but we wanted to pull out all the stops for Exquisite Corpses. I couldn't be more excited to visit a bunch of incredible shops across the country over these next 13 months, and to be joined by some of my amazing Corpse Crew collaborators along the way. Let the game begin!" - James Tynion IV

Yesterday, POPVERSE unveiled this week’s Exquisite Killer, Nurse Pete. Could he be your new favorite killer?

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...

Which is your favorite killer so far? Who do you think will win the game? We made a handy-dandy bracket to help you decide!
