SOMETHING IS KILLING THE CHILDREN Gets Promoted to an Ongoing Series
A couple of months ago, BOOM! Studios announced a new series called Something is Killing the Children from James Tynion IV and Werther Dell’Edera. It was going to be a five-issue limited series. Well, remember when the first issue sold out recently before the series launched? That interest in the series has given it a big boost as BOOM! Is now promoting the series from limited to ongoing status.
“SOMETHING IS KILLING THE CHILDREN is about a close-knit community rocked by a series of murders and the sudden appearance of Erica Slaughter, a mysterious figure who rides into town claiming she can stop the brutal murders turning their lives upside down.
But the local police and authority figures don’t know what to make of this dangerous outsider who claims to believe the local kids and their rumors of monsters in the woods. Can they trust this so-called “monster” hunter with their children’s lives? Or is Erica Slaughter an unhinged killer who’ll only bring more tragedy into their midst?”
Eric Harburn, Senior Editor, said in a statement:
“James, Werther, Miquel, and co. have created something truly special with SOMETHING IS KILLING THE CHILDREN, and we’re excited to bring readers even more of this strange yet thrilling horror series — following Erica Slaughter as she faces off against monsters, and we begin to unravel the mystery surrounding her gruesome calling. With many more monsters to defeat and stories to tell, this is just the beginning for fans of horror comics.”
This is really exciting! I cannot wait for the release of Something is Killing the Children on September 4. Also, it looks like there may be yet another variant cover for the first issue. This one seems to be done by Jenny Frison.
