The FBI has come to the small town of Archer's Peak, allegedly to help stop more children from being killed. But when the Sheriff's department turns their investigation to Erica Slaughter, the FBI is more interested in getting in the way. As the horrified townspeople watch Erica arm herself for a war they can't see, tensions rise to their breaking point in this penultimate issue.

    You Don't Read Comics - Jason A. Fleece

    Dec 11, 2019

    Something is Killing the Children is a strong comic, one of quite a few tremendous horror titles at the end of 2019. This issue is another great one and ends with probably the biggest cliffhanger of the series so far.  Read Full Review

    But Why Tho? - Mateo Guerrero

    Dec 12, 2019

    Something Is Killing The Children #4 takes a step back from slaughter and mayhem to give its characters and readers a chance to breathe. With Erica firmly in the monster's lair by issue 4's end, I can hardly wait to see what happens to the angel of Archer's Peak. Hop on theSomething is Killing The Childrenroller coaster before the drop! Read Full Review

    The Super Powered Fancast - Deron Generally

    Dec 11, 2019

    Dell'edera is more subtle with the art in this issue. This issue is all about the human story happening in the town so the art takes the time to illuminate the characters and their surroundings effectively to draw in the reader. I love the fact that Dell'edera keeps Erica's face mostly hidden while showing the rest of the characters clearly. It adds to her mystery and the drama and tension of the series. Read Full Review

    Word Of The Nerd - Cat Wyatt

    Dec 11, 2019

    Something Is Killing the Children #4 was just as eerie and alarming as fans could have hoped for. The pace is speeding up, and that means Erica has only so much time to complete her hunt. But that also means that fans are about to finally start getting some of the answers we've been looking for, as well as a few more questions to throw into the mix. Read Full Review
