BOOM! Studios today revealed a first look at SOMETHING IS KILLING THE CHILDREN #22, the second issue of a brand new story arc in the Eisner Award-nominated horror series from GLAAD Award-winning author James Tynion IV (The Department of Truth, The Nice House on the Lake), artist Werther Dell’Edera (Razorblades), colorist Miquel Muerto (House of Slaughter), and letterer AndWorld Design (We Only Find Them When They’re Dead). Erica Slaughter is BACK and on the trail of a mysterious new monster… available in April 2022.

Outside London, the shadowy figure on Erica’s trail relays information to their enigmatic superior about the rogue agent in the House of Slaughter. Meanwhile, a town finds itself in the clutches of an elusive serial killer, and the only living witness to the crimes is a frightened child. Erica investigates the grisly scene of the most recent murder, ignorant of the hostile forces drawing in around her…
