Something Is Killing the Children #35

Issue #35 of Something Is Killing the Children brings James Tynion IV and Werther Dell'Edera's acclaimed BOOM! Studios series to a fever pitch with the fifth chapter of "Showdown at the Easy Creek Corral." Dell'Edera's cover is viscerally striking — a bloodied blonde woman screams in terror as a massive, shadowy clawed hand reaches toward her, the loose painterly strokes and teal-and-red palette giving the image a raw, almost feverish energy. Colorist Miquel Muerto's work amplifies the dread beautifully, making this one of 2023's most unsettling covers on the stands.
