BOOM! Studios today revealed a first look at Book of Slaughter #1, the very first one-shot special in the world of the Eisner Award-winning Something is Killing the Children, from creators James Tynion IV and Werther Dell’Edera, with artist Letizia Cadonici with colorists Miquel Muerto and Francesco Segala, and letterer AndWorld Design, featuring a fan-favorite Slaughter whose secrets are yet to be revealed, available in December 2022.
From the sidelines to the spotlight, the White Mask Maxine Slaughter features in this new special issue that ties together threads from both Slaughterverse series… but will her loyalties remain where they have always been, or will she show her true colors?
In addition to being a precursor to upcoming chapters of both Something is Killing the Children and House of Slaughter, this special issue features a sizable guidebook that delves into the deep lore of the Order of St. George!
Book of Slaughter #1 features main cover art by series artist Dell’Edera and fan favorite illustrator Dan Mora (Klaus, Once & Future), as well as variant cover art by acclaimed artist Stephanie Hans (Die), Francis Manapul (Shang-Chi And The Ten Rings), and Dylan Todd (Astonishing Times).
Print copies of Book of Slaughter #1 will be available for sale on December 28, 2022 exclusively at local comic book shops or at the BOOM! Studios webstore. Digital copies can be purchased from content providers, including comiXology, iBooks, Google Play, and Kindle.
