Something Is Killing the Children: A Monster Hunter Walks into a Bar is a haunting, slow-burn companion to the main series. James Tynion IV and Werther Dell’Edera deliver a tense, beautifully paced one-shot that deepens Erica Slaughter’s mythos in a snow-covered town gripped by fear and rumour.

“Another compelling chapter that masterfully ratchets up the tension…” says Michael in his five-star review of Something is Killing the Children #44.

In this gripping continuation of Erica Slaughter’s origin story, we see a younger, less refined version of the hunter we’ve come to admire. As her rebellious streak clashes with Jessica’s mentorship, their bond is tested amid a horrifying new threat. With sharp side characters and chilling dialogue, this issue delivers both emotional depth and genuine dread.

BOOM! Studios has announced plans to collect the recently released SIKTC story A Monster Hunter Walks into a Bar for the first time.
