Something is Killing the Children

James Tynion IV, Werther Dell'Edera

In the quiet town of Archer’s Peak, children are vanishing, and the few who return speak of nightmarish creatures lurking beyond the edge of understanding. When official explanations fail, a mysterious stranger arrives—one who believes the survivors and recognizes the horror hiding in the shadows. As monster hunter Erica Slaughter takes on the threat, the story explores fear, grief, childhood trauma, and the heavy cost of protecting the vulnerable. James Tynion IV’s tense, atmospheric writing and Werther Dell’Edera’s haunting artwork create a chilling modern horror comic where the monsters may be terrifying—but they are not invincible.
