With Exquisite Corpses, writer James Tynion IV is taking one of the boldest creative swings of his career. Blending horror, action, and satire, the 13-issue Image Comics series launched this week. Beyond the bloodshed lies something even more ambitious: a writer’s room-style collaboration, a card game tie-in, and a deeply personal reflection on power, fear, and storytelling. We sat down with Tynion to discuss the creative chaos behind the book, the themes at its core, and why Exquisite Corpses is just the beginning.
Plus, we make our picks of the week!
