This Wednesday, April 30th, BOOM! Studios is releasing another thrilling issue of SOMETHING IS KILLING THE CHILDREN! As the Slaughterverse enters its sixth year and BOOM! Studios celebrates its 20th Anniversary, a brand new story arc of the Eisner-winning team of James Tynion IV and Werther Dell’Edera’s Something is Killing the Children begins!
“I could not be more excited to return to tell the next chapter of Erica’s origin story,” said Eisner-winning co-creator James Tynion IV. “Earning her teeth in the field, Erica will have to grow up fast to grow up at all — and a big part of that will be learning that adults have their own fatal flaws, including her mentor Jessica. Something is Killing the Children readers know, this is not a story with a happy ending. But it’s a story that needs to be told.”
“I know where Erica ends up, as much as we all do, and yet I can’t wait to tell this story! Get ready for some crying!” said series artist and co-creator Werther Dell’Edera.
Here’s a look at the covers, the storyline, and preview pages for this week’s new release from BOOM! Studios on New Comic Book Day! #NCBD
