May 27, 2026The team over at Tiny Onion took a big swing with this series and is justly reaping the rewards with the success this series has brought. If you weren’t reading this series, make sure to get caught up with trades before the second season. However, for those of us who have been enjoying this series all along, celebrate this awesome ending and get ready for Rascal Randy in July! Read Full Review

Jun 01, 2026Exquisite Corpses ends with a chilling message. Tynion IV makes you feel like a fly on the windshield as The Thirteen get away with everything. At least Walsh’s feral expressions, Bellaire’s blood-soaked colors, and Carey’s violent lettering make the hopelessness look beautiful. This was only the first season of Exquisite Corpses, as Image has already confirmed a sequel is on the way. Season two has big shoes to fill. Read Full Review

May 27, 2026This uneven season is back with a vengeance, featuring two would-be killers whose identity will likely be a surprise to most readers. Some strong art caps off this so-called season finale. Read Full Review

May 26, 2026Exquisite Corpses #13 ends on a grim and reflective note, trading the explosive chaos of prior issues for a sobering epilogue about power, control, and the illusion of choice. James Tynion IV smartly frames the finale around ideology and inevitability rather than pure violence, while Michael Walsh delivers haunting imagery that reinforces the emotional emptiness left behind after the bloodshed. While the issue lacks the raw intensity of the previous chapter, it succeeds as a thematic closer that leaves readers unsettled and curious about what comes next. Read Full Review

You Don't Read Comics - Russ Bickerstaff
May 26, 2026It all feels like it could've been handled better. It would've been a different series entirely if it were handled differently. However, there is always the option of things getting more satisfying at the end of a second series. They’ve teased a one-shot with a surviving killer...but there’s also the possibility of a whole new series that might turn things in a different direction for the underlying darkness of the series.

The excitement of the story faded after issue 11, but it's nice to get some conclussion and a setup for more.

It's a solid ending, but I wish we could have seen more of the survivors. And unfortunately Audrey's heel turn was still wayy too sudden and jarring

I suppose the ending was done well.
I just can’t get past the loophole..
at a certain point the elite can keep implementing a new killer out of a townsfolk and it would defeat the purpose of having the killers..
Makes me wonder if it would make a more interesting story to just drop the weapons and masks or whatever in a town, have a looming threat that would force otherwise peaceful town people to turn on one and other till there’s a lone survivor. Either way it’s been done before.
Idk. It was fine. I guess. -
