DC Comics and BOOM! Studios have shared a new look at one of 2026’s most anticipated crossover events, Swamp Thing is Killing the Children. The publishers have shared new interior artwork from the book alongside confirmation that the book will arrive in comic book stores on February 24, 2027.
It’s been confirmed that publishers are extending the production timeline to accommodate the extraordinary demand while preserving the intended premium quality of the highly anticipated deluxe one-shot. It has also been confirmed the creative work on Swamp Thing is Killing the Children is already complete.
Bringing to life “a beautiful blend of superhero and horror that works perfectly” (Capes & Tights), the assiduous work of New York Times–bestselling author James Tynion IV and Eisner Award-winning artist Werther Dell’Edera, the superstar team behind the smash hit Something is Killing the Children, push the boundaries for the very first crossover story ever told in the fan-favourite Slaughterverse.
Take a look at the full preview below:
Two siblings who are life-long comics fans find their way to horror comics, in spite of the fears they inspire.
As the terrifying visions from the pages of the comics start to come to life, Erica Slaughter will have to hunt down one of horror’s most recognisable figures—Swamp Thing himself.
Swamp Things is Killing the Children #1 will launch in comic shops on February 24, 2027. Digital copies can be purchased from content providers, including iBooks, Google Play, and Kindle.
