In case you haven’t heard, Tiny Onion will be back at NYCC this year, in the same location – big booth HB907 in Artist Alley. This will be an important NYCC for us – more programming, the debut of our first Exquisite Corpses merch line, the debut of our first children’s christmas horror comic, and some big announcements. We started working on this NYCC the week after last year’s ended, so you know it’s going to be good.

As of this week, Exquisite Corpses: Fox Mask Killer #1 by Che Grayson, Adam Gorham, Jordie Bellaire, and Becca Carey is available at your nearest and dearest comic shop. A powerful first issue that delves into the backstory of fan-favorite Fox Mask Killer, this is one of those issues that you’re going to want to go pick up before your friends can spoil it for you.

Hola Lil’ Onions! This is a big week for the trade waiters amongst us! Today you can pick up Exquisite Corpses Vol. 3, the exciting finale of Season 1!

Twelve killers were dropped into Oak Valley on Halloween night to determine the fate of the country. Now, dawn breaks and winner takes all as the final battle draws to a close. Who will survive…and what will be left of them?

Hello Friends, It’s been a minute since I’ve written one of these out directly. I’m sorry for that. I keep having the thought that I’ll pull together the time I need to do a big write-up in the way I used to do these sorts of things. The long, rambling, twenty pages in a word document kind of newsletter posts. Most often when I have the time to do something like that, it’d be better spent knocking out the next script of one of my comics.

Hola, lil’ Onions! Let’s talk about Something is Killing the Children #50 and its significance in the comics space. Art by Werther Dell'Edera, Colors by Miquel Muerto Getting to issue #50 of any comic is an achievement, a major accomplishment to celebrate in the lifespan of sequential storytelling. This time last year we announced that Something is Killing the Children is contracted up through issue #100, putting us at the current halfway point.
