HOUSE OF SLAUGHTER Will Explore More of the World of SOMETHING IS KILLING THE CHILDREN
Something is Killing the Children from James Tynion IV and Werther Dell’Edera has become pretty popular with comic fans. Recently, BOOM! Studios announced that a new series in the same world will be releasing called House of Slaughter. The new series will be written by Tynion IV, co-written by Tate Brombal, illustrated by Dell’Edera and Chris Shehan, colored by Miquel Muerto, and lettered by AndWorld Design. Inside, fans will find the tale of the House of Slaughter which is the Order that made Erica Slaughter the hunter and slayer that she is.
You know Aaron Slaughter as Erica's handler and rival. But before he donned the black mask, Aaron was a teenager training within the House of Slaughter. Surviving within the school is tough enough, but it gets even more complicated when Aaron falls for a mysterious boy destined to be his competition...
Talking about House of Slaughter, Tynion IV said:
Ever since our first glimpse of the HOUSE OF SLAUGHTER in Something is Killing the Children #5, I knew that there was an entire world of monsters and monster hunters outside of Erica Slaughter's story. And once the book grew into the juggernaut of a series it's become, thanks to all of our incredible fans, I knew I wanted to start telling those stories. I'm so honored to have the incredible Tate Brombal and the phenomenal Chis Shehan joining us to tell this exciting new story introducing everyone to the hunters Erica grew up alongside, and the other Houses within the Order of St. George, while Werther and I start plotting out Erica's next adventure!
Dell’Edera added:
It's been an incredible experience illustrating and building the world of Something is Killing the Children with James, and I can't wait for fans to see what terrifying new horrors await in this new series—but readers, beware! There's a very strong chance that things only get more terrifying, the deeper you go...into the HOUSE OF SLAUGHTER.
Brombal shared his excitement:
I am so honored (and excited!) that James and Werther have opened the illustrious halls of the HOUSE OF SLAUGHTER to me. This world is overflowing with characters and tragedies just waiting to be explored, and I cannot wait to draw back the curtains and show you what monsters lurk there!
Shehan shared:
As a fan of Something is Killing the Children, it’s a joy and a privilege to be part of HOUSE OF SLAUGHTER. I’ve wanted to explore this world further since the beginning and now I get to do that AND bring you along for the ride with some of the best creators out there.
House of Slaughter #1 will debut this October with a main cover by Dell’Edera and Shehan and variants from Alvaro Martinez Bueno, Jenny Frison, and Mike Del Mundo. Physical copies will be exclusive to local comic shops and digital copies will be available from comiXology (affiliate link), Google Play, iBooks, and Kindle.
