Something is Killing the Children #1 by James Tynion IV

dark emotional fast-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? It's complicated
  • Loveable characters? Yes
  • Diverse cast of characters? Yes
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

5.0

2024: Reread, trying to get caught up. I love how deliberate the character introductions are - especially Erica the monster hunter (smash cut not to her fighting a monster, but cleaning herself up after fighting one). Love the panel where James is entirely shrouded in darkness but his glasses are illuminated. James Tynion is so fucking good. 

2019: I went in with zero expectations and oh. My. God. I have never felt this catered to in my LIFE! Everything I love about horror is here, the art is exceptional, and the characters are SO memorable and intriguing.
