Something is Killing the Children #16

A fight with a monster changes and a snap decision change Erica's life forever. Read Full Review

Something is Killing the Children #16 is the story I didn't know I wanted, but now that I have it, I never want to let it go. Generally, prequels are pretty lame. We know how the lead character ends up. We know there is no real danger to her. However, we know that there is a LOT of mental damage done to Erica from the moment this story starts and when we meet her in issue 1. It is like, I don't want to know, but I have to know. Can it be next month now? Read Full Review

SiKtC #9's brilliance is in its marvelously natural and organic dialogue between characters brought to life and emphasized remarkably well through the art. This book is an example of the creative team being perfectly in sync and the execution reflectsthis on all fronts. Read Full Review

We are so spoiled to have so much Tynion right now. Even by his standards, and those established with earlier installments of SIKTC, this is an excellent "setup" issue that starts the story of Erica Slaughter's origin, beginning immediately after Octo (her monster that killed her parents) is slain. While there aren't any surprises yet, they will undoubtedly come.

Erica Slaughter's origin is about as dark as you'd imagine.
