Que maravilla y que horror. Que bien hecho esta este comic. ( )

SO GOOD!

This series is quickly becoming one of my favorites. It's both highly relatable and deeply disturbing. It's emotional too. Something is Killing the Children has elements of Stranger Things, Buffy The Vampire Slayer, Twin Peaks, and A Quite Place in it's DNA but it's also it's own thing.

It's bloody, and frightening.

In Volume 2, now there's 5 little monsters running around hungry to kill more children. Most adults can't see them. We also learn some about the Order of St. George, and how Erica Slaughter became apart of the order.

Dell'Edera's art is fantastic, bold, stylized, and gory when it needs to be!

I'm excited to read the 3rd volume!

I had to check that I hadn’t accidently picked up book one all over again as it starts similarly. Some boys daring themselves to go into the woods. Next there’s blood. This does pick up directly after book one. There are monster babies, and they need to die. More children around town will die if they’re not captured. Most of this book was back-and-forth about the organization sending help to Erica, (help she didn’t want) and saving more lives. The town is in shambles, and everyone’s scared. Only Erica slaughter has a chance of saving everyone. Book 2 ends with no ending and wait for book 3. ( )

The art is still great, the story is a bit lighter than the first volume. I wish Erica got more room to do character work besides being a badass. ( )

Foremost impressio:, these are freaking dark. And actually, I don’t just mean the content; the coloring is dark to the point where I can barely make out what’s happening on the page if the room around me is slightly dim. It’s fitting, of course, but worth noting. Good to find out a little more backstory, and I did NOT see it coming that Erica has a monster trapped in the stuffed octopus—let alone HER monster. Explains much, yet stirs so many more questions as it does. ( )
