Something Is Killing the Children #17

Three figures huddle together against a deep crimson background — a masked, blonde monster-hunter, a dark-haired boy, and a small frightened child curled between them — and the tension radiating from that quiet tableau says everything about the cost of this kind of war. Werther Dell'Edera's painted cover work is striking in its stillness, trading spectacle for something more unsettling: vulnerability. James Tynion IV's series continues to find its horror in the human moments, and "Me and My Monster Part Two" looks to be no exception.
