Something Is Killing the Children #8

A brooding man sits hunched alone at a bar, a drink in hand and the weight of something unspoken pressing down on him — it's a quietly devastating image that sets the tone for "The House of Slaughter Part Three." Werther Dell'Edera's cover art uses shadow and warm amber light with striking restraint, the shelves of liquor bottles behind the figure reinforcing a sense of isolation rather than comfort. James Tynion IV's Something Is Killing the Children has been one of BOOM! Studios' most compelling horror series of 2020, and this eighth issue looks to dig deeper into the human cost lurking beneath the monster-hunting.
