LOS ANGELES, CA – BOOM! Studios today revealed the anticipated first look at Something is Killing the Children #0. It’s been five years since the debut of the smash hit, Eisner-winning series Something is Killing the Children. A half decade, and forty issues since Erica Slaughter arrived in Archer’s Peak and changed the world of comics. Now, a critical chapter from her past is revealed in Something is Killing the Children #0, coming to comic shops in November 2024.
This crucial mission in Erica’s past details the brutal hunt preceding her arrival in Archer’s Peak. It ends with Erica walking out of the woods to meet a little girl waiting by a red wagon–now James Tynion IV and Werther Dell’Edera take you back to where it begins.
