Pornsak Pichetshote Spins Lone Gunman Out Of Exquisite Corpses

Pornsak Pichetshote and Alberto Ponticelli launch Exquisite Corpses: Lone Gunman from Tiny Onion/Image Comics in November 2026

Pornsak Pichetshote and Alberto Ponticelli are launching the third and final Exquisite Corpses season one spinoff as part of November 2026 solicits and solicitations, Lone Gunman, to delve deeper into the lore and the future of the Lone Gunman killer in this five-issue series from Tiny Onion, with Jordie Bellaire and Becca Carey.

"In this can't-miss follow-up to Exquisite Corpses' season one, Laura and her fellow survivors, Xavi and Jason, have attempted to carve out an existence with her winnings, far away from the evil machinations of the 13 Families. But, two years after the unfathomable events unleashed in their hometown and Laura's game-winning performance as the Last Gunman, all that they did to survive still haunts them. Now, the legacy of the golden mask refuses to stay silent…and their lives are in danger once again. The limited series will uncover the backstory of the Lone Gunman and explore what's next in Exquisite Corpses."

"We've been referring to Exquisite Corpses: Lone Gunman as Season 1.5, bridging the gap between the first Exquisite Corpses season and the upcoming second," said Pichetshote. "We follow my favorite killer and trace the history of the golden mask as well as one branch of the all-powerful 13 Families. 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 twelve 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."

Ponticelli added, "Lone Gunman is my favourite character in the Exquisite Corpses series. When Pornsak proposed that I work with him and Jordie to tell this character's story, it seemed like an incredible opportunity to me. I've known Pornsak since we worked together on Unknown Soldier, and I couldn't wait to do something together with him. Plus, Jordie's colors are always so full of expressive power. I'm working to give the story the right visual roughness, using textures and dirty marks. Doing this in collaboration with the Tiny Onion team is wonderful—they're truly helpful, I'm learning a lot from them. I'm thrilled to be part of this team!"

With covers by Ponticelli, Bellaire, Rafael Albuquerque, Leandro Fernandez, Chris Brunner, and Sebastian Fiumara, and a variant by Walsh that will come polybagged with a collectable trading card tied to Exquisite Corpses: The Game, recently funded on Kickstarter.
