Something Is Killing the Children #10

James Tynion IV and Werther Dell'Edera's acclaimed BOOM! Studios series reaches its tenth issue with a cover that radiates quiet menace — a gloved hand grips the snarling, fang-bared head of a monster while another hand, bearing a strange dark tattoo, reaches toward it against an enveloping black void. Dell'Edera's composition strips the horror down to its essentials, letting tension pool in the negative space around those two hands. "The House of Slaughter Part Five" promises a chapter that keeps the pressure firmly on as this series continues to deliver its brand of unnerving, carefully crafted dread.
