Image Comics and Tiny Onion have announced Exquisite Corpses: Book of the Dead, an 80-page horror anthology arriving in comic shops on January 13, 2027. The $9.99 one-shot returns to the assassins from the original season while offering a glimpse of a killer from the next. James Tynion IV and Michael Walsh join writers

including Jordie Bellaire, Marguerite Bennett, Patrick Horvath, Alyssa Wong and Victor LaValle. The artist roster includes David Lafuente, Piotr Kowalski, Lauren Knight, Claire Roe and Lisandro Estherren. Rather than extending the first competition, the stories investigate the lives that brought its killers into the

arena. The Congregation, Layla Blaze and Lady Carolina are among the characters whose backgrounds are promised. The collection follows separate miniseries about Rascal Randy, the Fox Mask Killer and the Lone Gunman. Walsh supplies the main cover and a $14.99 polybagged variant containing a collectible card connected to

Exquisite Corpses: The Game. Readers following the comics therefore have a new anthology entry point, with the special card confined to that specified variant. Official source. Image credit: Michael Walsh / Tiny Onion / Image Comics.
