Enter Erica Slaughter, a mysterious woman with insight and a plan.

The children of Archer’s Peak, Wisconsin are going missing, or being found is mass killings horrifically dismembered, and nobody seems to know what is going on. Not for the faint of heart, but certainly for those who love a good scare or an awesome heroine who is eternally over everyone’s shit. This gore galore horror fest is so packed with tension and intrigue that you won’t care that it keeps you up at night because you’ll be wanting that time to keep reading anyways. Something is killing the children… and it is some intensely fucked up shit. I'm lucky that I have a group of friends who basically take me by the shoulders and point me towards great stories that I never would have found without their help. If you haven't looked at their stuff, you may want to take a gander at these guys. It's just very well written and has characters that come off the page in interesting ways.Īnd it doesn't hurt that the art is kind of perfect for the story.Īnd what's up with BOOM!? This publisher is suddenly all over my radar, just cranking out some incredible comics right now. So, it isn't that this is some crazy genre-ripping ride. Monsters being hunted by monster hunters isn't really anything new. But we're just going to ignore that and move on. Why does that make me so gleeful? No idea. So when I finally got the chance to read it? Well, I was a tiny bit nervous that it had been overhyped and I would expect too much. Brag, brag, brag, went my friends when they talked about it. I've been hearing about this comic forever. 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.Ĭollects Something is Killing the Children #1-5

That is all she does, and she bears the cost because it must be done. 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. Most children never return, but the ones that do have terrible stories-impossible details of terrifying creatures that live in the shadows. When the children of Archer's Peak-a sleepy town in the heart of America-begin to go missing, everything seems hopeless. 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.
