BOOM! Studios has announced that Something is Killing the Children #1, the first issue of the highly anticipated new ongoing horror series from GLAAD Award-winning author James Tynion IV and artist Werther Dell’Eder, has sold out of its second printing at the distributor level before its debut at comics shops on September 4, 2019.

In order to meet the continuing overwhelming demand from retailers and fans, BOOM! Studios is fast-tracking the release of  Something is Killing the Children #1 Third Printing Variant, featuring an all-new cover by artist Nick Robles, so it can arrive in comic shops on September 18, 2019.

Something is Killing the Children is about a close-knit community rocked by a series of murders and the sudden appearance of Erica Slaughter, a mysterious figure who rides into town claiming she can stop the brutal murders turning their lives upside down. 

But the local police and authority figures don’t know what to make of this dangerous outsider who claims to believe the local kids and their rumors of monsters in the woods. Can they trust this so-called “monster” hunter with their children’s lives? Or is Erica Slaughter an unhinged killer who’ll only bring more tragedy into their midst?
