Something Is The Killing The Children is on a bit of a weird hiatus right now. The most recent issue, #40, was in August, and #0 was delayed until November, though there have been short stories in Hello Darkness. But there has been no sign of #41 of the popular comic book series up to and including December's Boom Studios solicitations. But in 2025, Something Is The Killing The Children will return, telling the untold hidden history of Erica Slaughter, in a series of one-shot standalone issues of the series, running from #41 in January through to #45, before being collected as Something Is Killing The Children Vol 9 on the 1st of July, 2025. And written, as you would expect, by James Tynion IV and Werther Dell'Edera. Bleeding Cool has the bumf;
