And a smaller shout out to our rivals at Zdarsky Comics News (edited by the incredible Allison O’Toole and spearheaded by Chip Zdarsky) for their nomination for Best Comics-Related Periodical/Journalism.
Well done.
Michael Walsh’s art drop just went live. He has original pages from Exquisite Corpses, including the introduction of fan favorite, Leopold Strong. Most pages are already sold, so get them while you can!
Corpse Tour ‘25 kicked off a couple of weeks ago, in Los Angeles at Revenge Of. I know I'm biased, but it was possibly the greatest launch party a comic has ever had. We had our first Exquisite cosplay, our first Exquisite tattoo (!), and 200+ hundred fans invaded Oak Valley. I’ve only just recovered this week. (More on the release party -including photos- later!)
I can’t promise that there will be live tattoos happening at these other shops, but they will be fun and each stop will be unique to that shop location. Come by!
Corpse Tour ‘25 will stop at…
Issue 1 | May 16 | Los Angeles, CA | Revenge OfIssue 2 | June 18 | New York City, NY | Midtown Comics
June 20 | Austin, TX | Austin Books
Issue 3 | July 26 | San Diego, CA | Now or Never
Issue 4 | August 20 | Toronto, ON | The Beguiling

We had a lot of great books drop this week. Stop by your local comic shop to pick these up.
The Deviant Volume 2 - Image Comics (Eisner Nominated!)
One of the grimmest chapters in Milwaukee’s history repeats itself as Michael Schmitz is arrested for the copycat Deviant Killer slayings. Only his boyfriend, Derek, is convinced of his innocence. And if Derek is right, that means that the killer responsible for the grisly murders is still on the loose…and is very, very unhappy that Derek is getting closer to unraveling the truth.
Multiple Eisner Award-winning writer JAMES TYNION IV (THE DEPARTMENT OF TRUTH, The Nice House on the Lake) and acclaimed artist JOSHUA HIXSON (The Plot) bring their taboo-shattering horror story to its gut-wrenching conclusion.
