Something Is Killing the Children #34

A haunting image anchors this 2023 installment from Boom! Studios: a pale, bare-backed figure stands in a darkened, open landscape, gripping a blood-soaked red cloth, a crimson mark visible across their back like a wound or sigil. The painted cover by Werther Dell'Edera — rendered in moody blues and deep shadows — radiates dread and quiet ferocity, perfectly suited to the fourth chapter of "Showdown at the Easy Creek Corral." James Tynion IV and Dell'Edera continue to make Something Is Killing the Children one of horror comics' most compelling ongoing series.
