Something Is Killing the Children #6

The cover of issue #6 says it all — Erica Slaughter, her striking white hair and piercing green eyes unmistakable, stands at the center of a crowd of masked figures whose black face coverings are emblazoned with a golden wheat-branch insignia, suggesting a mysterious organization closing in around her. Werther Dell'Edera's art, bathed in James Tynion IV's preferred atmosphere of dread, renders the scene in deep purples and warm reds that give the composition an almost suffocating tension. With "The House of Slaughter Part One" kicking off a new chapter in this acclaimed 2020 BOOM! Studios series, this issue promises to pull back the curtain on the shadowy world Erica belongs to.
