Blumhouse has used its panel at this year’s New York Comic Con to announce that American Gods and Westworld director Craig Zobel will be helming its upcoming live-action adaptation of BOOM! Studios’ Something is Killing the Children.
Something is Killing the Children is an acclaimed horror comic series created by New York Times-bestselling author James Tynion IV and Eisner Award-winning artist Werther Dell’Edera. When children begin to go missing in the town of Archer’s Peak, all hope seems lost until a mysterious woman arrives to reveal the terrifying creatures behind the chaos. She alone will destroy them, no matter the cost.
This week the publisher debuted issue #50 of the series, given five-stars by our own Michael in his review, and quickly announced its status as a sellout. A second printing of the landmark issue is set to arrive in stores in the coming weeks.
Published by BOOM! and distributed by Penguin Random House, Something is Killing the Children is available at your local comic shop and bookstore.
