Deron GenerallyJustice League Writer James Tynion IV and Brigg’s Land artist Werther Dell’Edera are bringing a new, terrifying series to Boom! Studios.
Something Is Killing The Children is a five issue limited series about a series of murders plaguing a community and the stranger who arrives that reopens old wounds and causes more trouble for the residents.
According to the official synopsis from Boom! Studios; In a sleepy town in the heart of America, children have started to die in horrific ways. The local police are mystified by the brutal murders, and frantic to catch the killer. But they refuse to believe reports of impossible creatures that lurk in the shadows snatching children and tearing them to pieces, especially since the only people who claim to have seen these so-called monsters are other children. Enter Erica Slaughter, a mysterious stranger who rides into town and claims she can solve their “monster” problem. But can the townspeople trust this dangerous outsider with their children’s lives? And more importantly, can the children trust this strange adult with their secrets?
Tynion spoke of the project saying; “There are horrifying things in the world that are only really visible to the young—unique societal pressures and terrors, monsters, unshaped creatures of fear and horror that prey on children—and much as we try to protect them, we fail, over and over again.”
Dell’Edera spoke of series as well. “I was very excited when BOOM! Studios got in touch with me regarding this project with James Tynion IV. This is my first creator-owned project, and everything so far has been amazing.” he said.
SOMETHING IS KILLING THE CHILDREN will be available for sale September 4, 2019.
