About the author

Prior to his first professional work, Tynion was a student of Scott Snyder's at Sarah Lawrence College. A few years later, he worked as for Vertigo as Fables editor Shelly Bond's intern. In late 2011, with DC deciding to give Batman (written by Snyder) a back up feature, Tynion was brought in by request of Snyder to script the back ups he had plotted. Tynion would later do the same with the Batman Annual #1, which was also co-plotted by Snyder. Beginning in September 2012, with DC's 0 issue month for the New 52, Tynion will be writing Talon, with art by Guillem March. In early 2013 it was announced that he'd take over writing duties for Red Hood and the Outlaws in April.

Tynion is also currently one of the writers in a rotating team in the weekly Batman Eternal series.

Just finished Exquisite Corpses #6 — one of my favorite issues yet. It’s dark, intense, and absolutely riveting. I actually felt genuine fear reading this, which almost never happens. The pacing, tension, and horror are breathtaking, both from the story and the art. The story continues to build toward something huge while delivering a brutal, self-contained night of chaos — Gamer kid and the whole twisted Halloween setup left me stunned. That final sequence was chilling and unforgettable. Wow.

The war of serial killers is afoot, the town is surrounded no one can leave killers slowly pick people off in dramatic sometimes brutal ways someone warn them before it’s too late

I was legit thinking the other day, how many times have I read a comic and felt genuine fear and worry about what was about to happen…this book got me to that point. Wow that was such a breathtakingly thrilling issue. This issue does a lot to set the stage for what is to come while also telling a great story with the current situation with Craig, Jason, and the gamer kid. To set the stage a bit, they don’t know where rascal Randy or recluse are. Lady South Carolina is getting a drink. Gamer kid is up on the hill trick or treating and racking up tons of kills with his drones off to the side with Craig and Jason none the wiser. Craig is especially consumed with getting a signal. The fox mask killer is also on the hill but is just watching the kids and not killing anyone. Massachusetts killer has been staying out of sight and getting a sense of the area since killing NC but is moving towards the hill. Lady blaze and pretty boy are both on their way to the Halloween party in the pit. Pretty boy is actually still with Mike, but as Mike tries to warn everyone about what he’s seen and that they all have to get out of here…no one believes him and pretty boy finally abandons him.

But now we get into the real meat of the issue as we follow gamer kid while trick or treating. Craig’s mistrust of the kid started with little things, primarily the very vulgar cursing and descriptions of deaths in horror movies. Craig reprimanded him and told him not to say stuff around Jason and really shouldn’t say that at all. But with the night dwindling down, Gamer kid still racking up kills with his drones, and Craig unable to get a signal…gamer kid proposes they play a prank of Craig. As soon as Craig turns around he finds the two of them gone, he immediately begins to chase after them only to see as they slip into a corn maze. Craig desperately tries to run after them but looses sight of them. Seems like they slipped into an empty clearing in the middle of the maze where gamer kid is now showing Jason his toy. He changed the system to thermal vision to Jason couldn’t see the images of the real people, and then started directing him towards the monsters he needs to kill. Oh…my…god, Jason has no idea and Craig has now noticed the drone overhead. Jason was able to shoot one person before he heard the guns and screaming in real life and gamer kid took back over the controls to keep the killing going. Craig is catching up now to the gunshots and from the three people that were there the kid was wearing a similar costume to Jason. As the final shots go towards the kid Craig runs in to shield him from the gunfire. It’s a little confusing about what happened here but Craig was definitely shot and it almost looks like the bullets when through him and killed the other kid who he realized after wasn’t Jason.But Craig is still alive and was even able to stand up and smash the drone. This set gamer kid off, he just lost his tool and he fully blames Jason for it. Gamer kid begins to pound on Jason and in response Jason punches him hard in the face, breaking his glasses in the process. At this point gamer kid is done and realizes that Jason doesn’t like him just like everyone else and fully pulls out a knife to kill Jason! Jason immediately beings to run for his life out into the woods with gamer kid chasing him. But he ended up tripping and falling right next to a river. But as gamer kid approaches, unbeknownst to him rascal Randy is pulling an apocalypse now in the background and rising from the river. Without even knowing what got him rascal Randy came from behind and choked and drowned gamer kid to death! As he finished the job he got up and patted Jason on the head and went on his way. Whelp, at the least they know where rascal Randy is. But it seems like the game master has some new ideas of his own, and proposes to the groundskeeper that he should get the party raging out there as much as it is I. Here to really get a show going. Oh no…

Kind of a recap and table-setting issue as various killers survey the landscape and prep. The story remains fun but a bit light. What I’m really appreciating about this book are the little flourishes that each creator throws in. Moment of this issue: party in the pit pausing for a panel, then resuming with 7 or 8 different conversations all starting back up at once. Carey nails the lettering and Boss throws in some funny tidbits of dialogue.

The continued antics of murder and mayhem on Halloween night brings more victims and more questions.

[Stephen Tizzard · Rating 5 out of 5]

Maybe the best issue yet. Gamer Kid is wild. Something extra creepy about a psychopathic child serial killer.
Nail bitting terror in this one

[Marisol Puga · Rating 5 out of 5]

This was the most enjoyable storyline so far. I think because we got to see that creepy little boy killer’s psyche and interactions with another child, so it really highlights how not a child he is.

[Elizabeth (Miss Eliza) · Rating 4 out of 5]

If our pyromaniac killer doesn’t get to burn that corn maze to the ground at some point I’m going to be sad. Also this issue really stands alone and above the others. A truly chilling Halloween.

[Pritesh Patil · Rating 5 out of 5]

Like a train wreck. Painful, heartbreaking, even grotesque, yet you can't look away.

At this point, we're all hating on nine out of the ten, right?

(Doesn't bode well for our potential MC, though).
