Something Is Killing the Children #5

The fifth chapter of "The Angel of Archer's Peak" arrives with a cover that captures the series' nerve-shredding tension perfectly — a knife-wielding figure with light hair hurls herself through the air above a massive, gaping creature whose ringed, bioluminescent maw dominates the lower half of the image. Werther Dell'Edera's artwork, colored with brooding blues and hot pinks by Miquel Muerto, makes the size and menace of the beast feel genuinely overwhelming against that lone, defiant hunter diving straight toward it. From BOOM! Studios, this 2020 issue is a striking reminder of why James Tynion IV's series has such a grip on horror fans.
