Created by writer James Tynion IV and artist Werther Dell’Edera. Colorist Miquel Muerto and letterer AndWorld Design also make the pages sing. Something Is Killing the Children was recommended to me by the incredibly talented Daniel Henriques (Thank you, Daniel!), whose work is definitely worth checking out. I highly suggest getting at least the first three volumes of this series, which only take a few hours to finish. That’s enough to build momentum, to enjoy key pieces of the story arc, and to leave you wanting more. This entire book is very elegant, IMHO. Some comics try to do too much, and all the miscellanea and subplots detract from the experience. Something Is Killing the Children is smooth, easy, and compelling.
When children begin to go missing in the town of Archer’s Peak, all hope seems lost until a mysterious woman arrives to reveal that terrifying creatures are behind the chaos - and that she alone will destroy them, no matter the cost.
IT’S THE MONSTERS WHO SHOULD BE AFRAID.
When the children of Archer's Peak—a sleepy town in the heart of America—begin to go missing, everything seems hopeless. Most children never return, but the ones that do have terrible stories—impossible details of terrifying creatures that live in the shadows. Their only hope of finding and eliminating the threat is the arrival of a mysterious stranger, one who believes the children and claims to be the only one who sees what they can see.
Her name is Erica Slaughter. She kills monsters. That is all she does, and she bears the cost because it must be done.
GLAAD Award-winning writer James Tynion IV (The Woods, Batman: Detective Comics) teams with artist Werther Dell’Edera (Briggs Land) for an all-new story about staring into the abyss.
