Something Is Killing the Children #38

Werther Dell'Edera's cover for issue #38 puts Erica Slaughter front and center in a striking, unsettling pose — arms outstretched, blades in hand, her monstrous mask glowing with those eerie green eyes as she plunges forward through a storm of slashing lines. It's a visceral image that captures everything James Tynion IV's series does so well: the tension between the human and the horrifying, rendered here with Miquel Muerto's warm amber tones throwing Erica's shadowed figure into sharp relief. "Road Stories Part Three" promises another chapter of the harrowing monster-hunting saga that has made Something Is Killing the Children one of Boom! Studios' most compelling ongoing series.
