The third Exquisite Corpses spinoff will explore the history of the golden mask.
Pornsak Pichetshote and Alberto Ponticelli will team for Exquisite Corpses: Lone Gunman, a five-issue miniseries from Image Comics and James Tynion IV’s Tiny Onion Studios.
The series is the third spinoff based on the first season of the action/horror comic Exquisite Corpses created by Tynion and Michael Walsh. Jordie Bellaire will provide colors and Becca Carey will letter the series.
Pichetshote, who was one of the dozen writers who contributed to the original “round robin” series, will use this new miniseries to delve into the history of the Lone Gunman and the mysterious golden mask. He describes the series as “Season 1.5,” bridging the first and second seasons while also functioning as a standalone story for new readers.
“We follow my favorite killer and trace the history of the golden mask as well as one branch of the all-powerful 13 Families,” said Pichetshote. “But for new readers, you don’t need to read the main series to enjoy this one. We’ll be exploring one of my favorite horror subgenres: the ultimate ‘Final Girl’ story. What happens after you survive the 12 deadliest slashers of all time, and now are forced to uncover the secret history of the organization behind them and how they’ve shaped the course of America? It’s been fun to take the lessons I’ve learned on the Absolute Green Arrow series to tell a very different story about serial killers and billionaires, one that asks how the victims of their callous actions recover and retaliate.”
