Dans ce nouvel épisode de ComicsDiscovery, nous revenons sur Exquisite Corpses, le nouveau titre de James Tynion IV. Auteur que nous suivons régulièrement dans l'émission, Tynion explore ici le registre du battle royale horrifique aux côtés de Michael Walsh, pour un comics publié chez Urban Comics. Un nouveau projet ambitieux que nous avions hâte de découvrir et d'analyser ensemble. Bataille royale familialeLe nom de James Tynion IV commence à devenir familier si vous suivez l'émission. C'est un scénariste qui arrive souvent avec de vraies promesses et qui sait susciter l'attente. Nous suivons son travail avec attention, et il nous a régulièrement surpris dans le bon sens du terme. On pense notamment à The Nice House on the Lake puis The Nice House by the Sea, une série dont nous attendons la suite avec impatience tant les premiers épisodes nous avaient marqués. On lui doit aussi la très efficace série d'horreur aux accents teenage Something Is Killing the Children. Tynion est un auteur capable d'écrire des récits d'horreur tendus et ambitieux, mais aussi de s'inscrire dans un registre plus mainstream. Son passage sur Detective Comics, où il réunissait autour de Batwoman une équipe composée de Spoiler, Orphan, Clayface (dans une version réhabilitée) et Robin, reste un très bon souvenir de lecture. Autant dire que nous étions particulièrement curieux de découvrir Exquisite Corpses. Une battle royale pour les États-UnisTous les cinq ans, les familles les plus puissantes d'Amérique s'affrontent. Elles se réunissent et choisissent chacune un champion. Le vainqueur obtient le droit d'exercer son influence sur les États-Unis. Évidemment, il ne s'agit pas d'une compétition ordinaire. Les représentants de ces dynasties sont des tueurs sanguinaires, lâchés dans une petite ville isolée transformée en terrain de chasse. Une battle royale brutale où tous les coups sont permis, et où les civils paient le prix fort. Avec Exquisite Corpses, James Tynion IV et Michael Walsh cochent toutes les cases du comics sanglant et excessif… peut-être même un peu trop. Erreur de parcoursAu final, Exquisite Corpses nous a laissés plutôt froids. Le concept est simple, presque trop : une battle royale ultra-violente où l'escalade graphique semble parfois tenir lieu de narration. La brutalité ne suffit pas à compenser un récit qui manque d'épaisseur, et les personnages restent trop peu développés pour susciter un véritable attachement. Sur le fond, l'ensemble donne une impression de déjà-vu. Le mélange entre Battle Royale et The Purge ne dépasse jamais le stade de la référence évidente, sans parvenir à proposer un angle neuf ou une réelle ambition thématique. Les dessins de Michael Walsh remplissent leur rôle, et certains designs de personnages auraient pu être marquants. Mais le scénario ne leur donne pas la place d'exister pleinement. On peine à percevoir la montée en puissance ou la vision d'ensemble que le projet semblait promettre. D'autant plus que James Tynion IV présente Exquisite Corpses comme l'un des titres phares de sa nouvelle structure éditoriale en collaboration avec Image Comics. Une ambition difficile à saisir à la lecture de ces deux premiers numéros qui, pour l'instant, peinent à dépasser leur concept de départ. Un éditorial qui changeSur le plan éditorial, en revanche, Urban Comics tente quelque chose d'intéressant. L'éditeur propose ici un format court et souple de 64 pages à 7,90 €, avec en complément un coffret accompagné de bonus pour les deux premiers numéros. Une formule plus accessible, tant en prix qu'en format, qui pourrait séduire un nouveau lectorat. Il est possible qu'Urban Comics expérimente ici une nouvelle manière de promouvoir certains titres, en misant sur une entrée moins engageante financièrement. L'idée n'est pas mauvaise : rendre le comics plus abordable reste une piste pertinente pour élargir le public. Reste que le choix du titre interroge. Sur une série plus solide ou plus ambitieuse, l'impact aurait sans doute été plus fort. À moins que la cible visée soit un public plus jeune, moins familier des récits de battle royale, et donc moins exigeant sur les codes du genre. Pour l'instant, Exquisite Corpses ressemble davantage à un concept accrocheur qu'à une œuvre réellement marquante. Reste à voir si la suite saura lui donner l'ampleur et la profondeur que l'on est en droit d'attendre d'un titre signé James Tynion IV.

When you first realized the scope of that responsibility, what felt most important to get right from the very beginning?You've spent years helping elevate underrepresented voices through Marvel's Voices—both the podcast and the comics—creating space for creators to tell stories that might otherwise be sidelined. How did that experience inform the way you approached First Freedom, especially when it came to deciding whose voices and perspectives needed to be centered?The book spans nearly 160 years of history, yet remains deeply personal. How did you decide when to zoom out to the larger historical context and when to stay tightly focused on Dr. Opal Lee's lived experience?There are moments in First Freedom where the art (Alvin Epps, Bex Glendining, and Millicent Monroe) carries the emotional weight as much as the words. Was there a scene where seeing the visuals for the first time changed or deepened how you felt about the story? P.S. I loved how your team used the mirror in the opening scene.You worked directly with Dr. Opal Lee and her granddaughter, Dione Sims, including extensive in-person interviews. What surprised you most about Dr. Lee once you spent real time with her beyond the public image?This book arrives during Black History Month and as part of a yearlong celebration of Dr. Lee's 100th year—but it also makes clear that the fight for freedom and recognition is ongoing. What do you hope readers, especially younger readers, take away from that tension?You've said this book is about much more than Juneteenth as a holiday—it's about everyday acts of activism and becoming, as you put it, a “committee of one.” How do you hope this story reframes what activism can look like?As a journalist, producer, and author, you've told many real-world stories across different media. What did the graphic novel format allow you to do emotionally or narratively that other formats wouldn't?

The latest DC Spotlight episode for the week of February 4, 2026 features Jace and Rocky breaking down a strong slate of eleven new DC releases while reflecting on a rare week free of industry-wide bad news. The discussion is led by the return of The Nice House by the Sea #7, with James Tynion IV and Álvaro Martínez Bueno resuming the series after a long hiatus and using character guides and carefully integrated recap to maintain narrative momentum, followed by Batman: Static Beyond #3, which gains traction as Miguel Mendonça's art and a more action-driven focus push the Elseworlds concept forward. Batgirl #16 marks a turning point in Cassandra Cain's arc, delivering resolution to the Unburied storyline, expanding the Lazarus mythology, and setting up a return to Gotham, while DC KO: Night Fight #4 closes its mini-series by exploring Batman's exile from the tournament, alternate futures, and the consequences of loss before re-inserting him into the larger DC KO event. The episode also covers Batman #6, emphasizing character fallout and the status shift for Tim Drake, Poison Ivy #41, which advances Pamela Isley's path toward running for mayor through a jail-cell-centered narrative that keeps her agency intact, and DC KO: Boss Battle #1, a crossover-heavy one-shot pairing DC characters with external properties in a high-concept escalation of the tournament. Additional discussion includes JSA #16 continuing its Year One focus on early team dynamics, Absolute Green Lantern #11 deepening Al Ewing's dense mythology with escalating threats and spectrum lore, Absolute Superman #16 introducing an Absolute Hawkman origin while advancing Lex Luthor and Brainiac plot threads, and Superman: Chains of Love Special #1, a Creeper- and Livewire-focused story that rounds out the week, before the hosts rank their favorites and preview the looming impact of DC KO #4.

If you've already read our in-depth feature on Joshua Williamson's Iron Man, the conversation doesn't stop there. On this week's AIPT Comics Podcast, we're running the full, uncut version of our interview with Williamson, pulled straight from the complete transcript behind the piece. It's a deeper, looser, and more candid discussion that digs into his rare position straddling both Marvel and DC, why Iron Man was the one Marvel character he couldn't pass up, and how revisiting Tony Stark's origin reframed the entire run for him. The written feature is live now—but this is the long-form version for listeners who want every insight, tangent, and behind-the-scenes detail.NEWSSal Buscema's superpower was clarityMarvel teases the end of the Ultimate Universe, and how it may be "Reborn"Full announcementSupergirl goes global: DC unites 15 countries for a new anthologyInvincible takes over Image Comics: Season 4 sparks a multiverse-wide celebration'Head Lopper' returns: Andrew MacLean gears cult-favorite for a 10-year anniversary relaunch'Lost Fantasy' ignites a new era as 'Fireborn' launches April 2026entImage Comics unveils a twisted new obsession as 'In Your Skin' blends Bollywood, body horror, and fame'Sex Criminals' is coming to Prime Video and it's about to break time (and TV)SCOOP: Oni Press goes all-in at ComicsPRO with Archie, Matt Kindt, and a wave of 2026 exclusivesOur Top Books of the Week:Dave:Absolute Batman #16 (Scott Snyder, Nick Dragotta)Spirit of the Shadows #1 (Nick Cagnetti)Alex:​​Absolute Flash #11 (Jeff Lemire, Nick Robles)Malevolent #1 (Justin Jordan, John Bivens)Standout KAPOW moment of the week:Alex: Infernal Hulk #3 (Phillip K Johnson, Kev Walker)Dave: Iron Man #1 (Josh Williamson, Carmen Carnero)TOP BOOKS FOR NEXT WEEKAlex: Magik and Colossus #1 (Ashley Allen, German Peralta), The Nice House by the Sea #7 (James Tynion IV, Álvaro Martínez Bueno)Dave: DC K.O.: Boss Battle #1 (Various)JUDGING BY THE COVER JR.Dave: Batman #6 (Julian Totino Tedesco Card Stock Cover)Alex: Storm: Earths Mightiest Mutant #1 (Dike Ruan variant)Interview: Joshua Williamson - Iron Man #1 out January 28thYou've spent years shaping the DC Universe—long runs, big swings, major characters.

What did you see in her art that made her the right partner for this specific take on Iron Man?Your tagline, “Tony Stark is the most dangerous weapon in the Marvel Universe,” is a loaded one. In your mind, what makes Tony more dangerous than gods, monsters, or cosmic tyrants?The premise echoes Iron Man's origin in a powerful way—“Tony built Tony in that cave. What if he had to go in again?” How did you think about revisiting that crucible without just retelling the origin story?Madame Masque is positioned as a central force here, orchestrating the kidnapping of geniuses worldwide. She's also currently making waves elsewhere in Marvel—especially in Venom. What drew you to her for this story, and how do you view her role in the larger Marvel landscape right now?

Bienvenue pour un nouvel épisode de ComicsDiscovery ! Cette semaine, nous avons le plaisir de recevoir Gaëlle Hersent et Margaux Saltel, impliquées dans l'organisation du Festival interconnecté de la bande dessinée à Montpellier. Un épisode un peu particulier, puisque l'on parle à la fois d'un événement majeur, d'une mobilisation historique dans le milieu de la bande dessinée, et bien sûr du comic de la semaine : Hérétique de Robbie Morrison et Charlie Adlard, disponible chez Delcourt. Festival interconnecté : un contre-festival porté par GirlxcottLe Girlcott est né à la suite des révélations sur les violences systémiques et le management toxique entourant le Festival d'Angoulême, ainsi que sur la manière dont certaines personnes victimes de VSS ont été traitées. Cette mobilisation, devenue la collective Girlxcott (pour être plus inclusive), fédère aujourd'hui des centaines d'auteurices de bande dessinée. Le but est de mobiliser pour défendre leurs droits, lutter contre les violences sexistes et sexuelles, et faire évoluer en profondeur un milieu longtemps dominé par des logiques d'exclusion et de privilèges. Après une mobilisation historique ayant mené à l'annulation de l'édition 2026 du FIBD, la collective s'organise et devient une association loi 1901, avec pour vocation le soutien à la création et à la diffusion de la bande dessinée dans une perspective féministe et inclusive. Avec l'annulation du FIBD, Girlxcott a décidé de lancer le Festival interconnecté de la bande dessinée, un contre-festival organisé simultanément dans plusieurs villes de France. L'objectif est de rassembler une multitude d'événements autour de la BD, avec un angle politique, féministe et inclusif.

Toward the end of our last conversation with Grant Morrison, they mentioned how they would soon be returning to comics, writing a new Batman story. We were ecstatic to hear, but we could not have possibly imagined that the new Batman story would actually be a DC/Marvel Comics crossover featuring the Hollywood darling Deadpool. Even better, it's a reunion between Morrison and his Klaus collaborator, Dan Mora, which also features numerous backup stories by other rad creators, including Scott Snyder, James Tynion IV, Joshua Williamson, Hayden Sherman, Tom Taylor, Bruno Redondo, Amanda Conner, G. Willow Wilson, and Denys Cowan. The comic is possibly the most surprising book of the year, but not as surprising as Morrison's willingness to return to the show for an in-depth discussion all about it. You're in for another treat, friends. Our Grant Morrison Batman/Deadpool conversation is full-spoilers. You must read the comic before pressing play. If you read the book quickly, as our Brad did the first time, you'll probably miss a great deal. The comic is crammed with Easter eggs and winks, many of which we eventually caught, and a few others we did not until Grant Morrison pointed them out to us. Dan Mora and Grant Morrison's Batman/Deadpool is very different from Greg Capullo and Zeb Wells' Deadpool/Batman, which Marvel ran point on a few weeks ago. It's a fun adventure, but it's also a story commenting on comics, crossovers, and the writer/reader's relationship with the fourth wall. Initially, the team-up between Batman and Deadpool felt a little cynical, and/or capitalistic - and it's still that! However, given Grant Morrison's relationship with Animal Man and smashing the fourth wall, Deadpool is kind of the perfect character for them. Batman/Deadpool also allows Grant Morrison to right a wrong that occurred in the pages of...well, read the comic first, will ya? Dear listeners, welcome to Grant Morrisoin's Revenge! We get into it with The Writer, discussing their initial idea for the crossover, their evolving relationship with the fourth wall, and what they hope for future DC and Marvel crossovers. Batman/Deadpool #1 is out now from DC Comics. “The Cosmic Kiss Caper” is written by Grant Morrison, illustrated by Dan Mora, colored by Alejandro Sánchez, and lettered by Todd Klein. If you wish to continue this conversation with Morrison, follow them on their Website, Substack, Instagram, and Bluesky.

Doc and Angus conclude Halloween Horror Month with a trilogy of self-contained horror comics by James Tynion IV. The precursor to the creative titan that would take the comics world by storm with the Slaughterverse. In Memetic, a weaponized meme leads to the utter annihilation of the human race within 72 hours. The root of this apocalypse is a single image on the internet, a "meme" in the popular sense. A meme that changes everything. In Cognetic, a powerful psychic being that once controlled one-third of the world's population as a part of its hivemind, returns to humanity in modern-day New York City. Meanwhile, the young assistant to the Director of the FBI may be the only one who can save humanity, but at a terrible, terrible cost. In Eugenic, a new vision of humanity's future arrives. When a plague ravages the world, one scientist discovers the cure and becomes the savior of mankind. Hope is restored, and the world rebuilds.

If Titans Season 2 were a comic book arc, what title or event would it resemble?As horror experts reinventing what horror means to so many, and horror being more prevalent with the return of EC Comics at Oni, and even Marvel going deeper into gore with polybagged Red Band comics, do you feel like Dragula is part of that same movement of pushing boundaries — treating horror as a living, evolving genre rather than a fixed set of tropes?Evolution of tone: You once described earlier Dragula seasons as DIY, campy, or serious horror. With Titans Season 2 blending those flavors, how would you describe the “recipe” of this new season?With Steve Orlando and Todd McFarlane judging on Titans Season 2 I feel like there more comic book representation on TV than ever, why were they important to weave into your show?Fright Feats twist: The extermination challenges are gone, replaced by mandatory Fright Feats. Why did you feel now was the right time to evolve that part of the competition, and how do you expect it to push the competitors differently?The first challenge is rooted in a spooky staple: reinventing classic Halloween costumes with a return of the Halloween house party. Not to give anything away, but do you have a favorite challenge of the season, and might you say which episodes #'s they are?Making comics is nothing new for you with your Heavy Metal Magazine takeover back in 2021, and a story in DC Horror Presents #1 and Hello Darkness #10! Do you see future opportunities where Dragula and comics collide again — perhaps a Dragula: Titansgraphic novel?

Superstar writer Grant Morrison updates the X-Men for the 21st century as All My Xs, our decade-by-decade miniseries on Marvel's mega-popular mutant franchise, continues with a discussion of E Is for Extinction – specifically, New X-Men issues #114-117 and #121 – by Morrison, Frank Quitely and Ethan Van Sciver, published by Marvel Comics! It's not a shock that the writer behind Vertigo's The Invisibles would remake the X-Men into a cooler-than-thou team of leather-jacketed badasses. But what might come as a surprise is just how over-the-top dark and edgy this book gets – and that's before an intriguing new villain slaughters an island nation of several million mutants! What is the terrible secret linking Cassandra Nova to Professor X? Does E really stand for “edgelord”? And can the coolest-looking teachers at the Xavier Institute for Higher Learning break into that invitation-only faculty lounge known as … The Comics Canon? In This Episode: ·       Curt wonders what “lost in the sauce” means ·       Grant Morrison's X-Men manifesto ·       The Skull: A Tyrolean Folktale, by John Klassen ·       Uncanny X-Men #159 and 160       Join us in two weeks as we mark the spookiest time of the year with a look at The Closet, by James Tynion IV and Gavin Fullerton!

Taboo, you've mentioned this issue is dedicated to your Indigenous relative Jeffrey Veregge — how did that dedication influence the tone or themes of the story?3. The reveal of an all-new Ultimate Ronin is huge — without spoiling too much, how did you want to reimagine this identity for the Ultimate Universe?4. You've both tackled grounded, character-driven Marvel stories before (Daredevil & Echo, Werewolf by Night). How did those past experiences shape your approach to writing in the heightened, alternate-reality stakes of the Ultimate Universe?5. This book also has a framing story by Deniz Camp and Juan Frigeri — how did you coordinate with them to make sure the one-shot felt both self-contained and part of the bigger Ultimate Endgame build-up?6. The Ultimate line has always been about bold reinvention — what's one thing you think this current era is doing better or differently than the original 2000s run?7. Michael Sta. Maria's art really pops in the preview pages — what kinds of visual cues or storytelling beats did you build into the script knowing his style?

This year marks the 85th anniversary of the 1939 Wizard of Oz film. How did that milestone influence your approach to adapting the story?2. You've been granted access to the film's archives—what kind of reference material or behind-the-scenes details most inspired your adaptation?3. You're launching a Kickstarter for this project this month—what can backers expect in terms of rewards, exclusives, or behind-the-scenes content?4. You're handling writing, art, and covers. How did balancing all three roles shape the way you told this story?5. You've described this as “not reinventing the wheel” but adding your interpretation. Can you share some of the ways you've put your own creative stamp on the classic?9. How do you hope this adaptation will resonate with younger readers who may be discovering The Wizard of Oz for the first time?10. What was the biggest artistic or storytelling challenge you faced in bringing Oz to life on the page?7. Any desire to make it fresh?11.
