A New Chapter Begins in Something Is Killing the Children

Alright Comic Crusaders fam… brace yourselves, because the SlaughterVerse is about to get flipped upside down. 🩸🔥 No hype talk. No exaggeration. This changes everything.

The world of Something Is Killing the Children is standing at the edge of the blade as writer Tate Brombal (House of Slaughter) and artist Adriano Turtulici (You’ll Do Bad Things) usher in a bold, brutal new era of James Tynion IV and Werther Dell’Edera’s iconic universe with FALL OF THE HOUSE OF SLAUGHTER. And when we say “fall,” we mean power struggles, blood-soaked ambition, and legacy on the line.

The House of Slaughter is in crisis. Its legendary Old Dragon is nearing the end of his reign, and the knives are already out. As Cecilia Slaughter and the remaining Heads convene to decide who takes the throne, alliances fracture, egos ignite, and deadly intentions surface. This isn’t a polite succession it’s a war for control, and only one will rise. The House and the Order are both preparing for what comes next… and whatever legacy is born here will be written in blood.

The question isn’t who wants the power. The question is can the House of Slaughter survive whoever claims it?

Fall of the House of Slaughter is an all-new, must-read mini-series and the latest strike from BOOM! Studios’ BOOM! imprint, the home of some of the most critically acclaimed and talked-about comics in the game. We’re talking heavy hitters like BRZRKR, Something Is Killing the Children, Hello Darkness, Minor Arcana, Marian Heretic, The Graveyard Club, A Vicious Circle, The War, The Last Day of H.P. Lovecraft, Briar: Night’s Terror, Alice Forever After, and The Center Holds plus major licensed worlds like Dune: House Corrino, Power Rangers Prime, and The Expanse: A Little Death.

Bottom line? This isn’t just another chapter it’s a turning point.
