BOOM! Studios has revealed a first look at House of Slaughter #6, set in the world of the Eisner Award-nominated Something is Killing the Children. From co-creator James Tynion IV and new co-writer Sam Johns, with art by rising star artist Letizia Cadonici and co-creator Werther Dell’Edera, comes the premiere of the first issue of a new original story about the mysterious SCARLET MASKS, available on May 18, 2022.

Edwin Slaughter is a Scarlet Mask, one of the secret record keepers of the Order of St. George. He’s enamored with stories of ancient hunters, as well as those in his midst, but he only gets to write the stories and never live them himself. That is, until what starts out as standard reconnaissance for the Order turns Edwin’s world upside down—a legendary monster is discovered, one long thought extinct! It’s taken the lives of countless children, bringing Edwin into the field and into real danger for the very first time.

House of Slaughter #6 features main cover art by famed illustrators Rafael Albuquerque and co-creator Dell’Edera, as well as variant cover art by acclaimed artists Kyle Hotz, Jorge Corona, and Andrea Sorrentino.
