This was good. Confusing, but good.
I love the art style, almost sketchy with unclean lines. The colours are good, the blood so vibrant and eye catching.
The main character is called Erica Slaughter, such omen nomen!
Loved seeing how every character deals with the situation, the loss, the horror, the fear, the anger, differently. Very believable.
I am looking forward to reading more!
Only problem was: I have read in on my tablet and it kept having dual pages panels and it took me a while to understand I had to skip from one page to the next and back to read it in the right order. It made the experience slightly annoying, so my suggestion is to read a physical copy of it if possible

What a fantastic first volume. Something is Killing the Children is a great comic with amazing art. The story-telling is catchy and serious at the same time. You fall in love with the characters really easily, and their development is fulfilling yet makes you want more. I would definitely recommend this comic to anyone who likes a mysterious lone wolf protagonist and has a thirst for monster hunting.

"We're going to need weapons. LOTS of weapons."
Chillingly crafted with dark and horrifying artwork, this gives you the creeps in all the right ways. Erica is an awesome badass with a heart which I hope won't get her into trouble in future volumes. Ending on a cliff hanger - definitely need to get to Volume 2!

I really enjoyed this!! Another one of Tynion’s books that I am immediately very captivated by. Again there’s a lot of great atmosphere and sprinkles of worldbuilding that make me want to rush back to my library and get my hands on volume two. I think that the only thing that makes this a 4.5 and not a 5 for me is Erica’s characterization? I understand that this volume only collects part of the narrative, and I’m sure she’ll continue to grow as the story progresses, but I felt like there was a lot about her motivations that I didn’t fully understand, and to do the things she does I feel like that’s something I need to have a stronger grasp of. But again, it’s a chilling yet exciting ride and I’m excited to keep reading! I’m sure Erica will blossom more as the series progresses.
