(A-) 80% | Very GoodNotes: Creepy talking, page-turn shocking, lore is lean: it's often-mundane meeting scenes, or gore galore, scant in-between.
4.5 starsWhat the Fuck is Killing the Children?!Something.I've been hearing about this comic forever. Brag, brag, brag, went my friends when they talked about it. So when I finally got the chance to read it? Well, I was a tiny bit nervous that it had been overhyped and I would expect too much.But it was actually a really cool story.About monsters.Killing children. <--Muahahaha!Why does that make me so gleeful? No idea. But we're just going to ignore that and move on. Monsters being hunted by mon...
This is a really good book to read if you like Stranger Things.I don't really like Stranger Things, but I like spooky graphic novels with pretty art and female characters I can fall in love with, so this did the trick.Bottom line: Not exactly my stuff, but good stuff all the same!-----------------pre-reviewhappy halloween (i'm celebrating starting now)update: i recommend everyone give my strategy a try.review to come / 3.5ish
I already want to stop everything on my TBR to run out and devour the rest of the series!
James Tynion IV has come a long way. He was always a solid writer but goddamn his recent output has been great. Something is killing children is by far the best horror book since Sink for me. So now that we got that out of the way, what is it about? Well it starts off like any good spooky story, with a spooky ghost story. James, our main character, begins to tell all his friends at a sleepover about a creature in the woods. Ohhhhh scary, huh? Well except soon after all these kids end up slaughte...
This graphic novel was awesome! I’m going to have to buy the paperback when I can!! I’m already stoked for the second vol coming out in December!! I’m getting the one graphic framed. The graphics are pretty simple I guess I would say, but I love it! Mel 🖤🐶🐺🐾
I generously received this as an ARC from Netgalley for review. Thank you so much!Honestly guys, I had no idea what to expect, and I was a little worried. I love horror, but typically I do not handle things involving kids very well. Was this going to be a gorefest? I really hoped not, but I prepared myself for it anyway. Did the author take a different route? A psychological thriller perhaps? Would it be a man instead of a monster? Was it going to be a slow burn, or would it jump into the story
I absolutely loved this. It's Tim Seeley's Imaginary Fiends crossed with a rated R Buffy the Vampire Slayer. The first five issues are pretty straight forward with little hints about larger worldbuilding to come. In a small town in Wisconsin, children are dying. Not only dying but being brutally ripped apart. Enter Erica Slaughter, a badass Goth Buffy going from town to town stopping monsters from killing children. Tynion knows his horror. He quickly sets the mood and a sense of dread hangs over...
If you're a fan of horror, I would definitely recommend checking out this series! 4.5 StarsPrior to reading this trade, I had read the first two issues of the series. I was immediately enthralled with the concept that Tynion developed with this series. If you didn't know, it centers around a town where the children have been disappearing (more like being eaten alive) and a woman by the name of Erica Slaughter comes to town to take care of their monster problem. This comic is fast-paced and grues...
5/5 read. These first 5 comics will make up the trade paperback coming out soon (depending on distribution and printing given the virus situation we are all in). This is one of my new fave series of the last year. It’s got intrigue, a lead gal, crazy scary monsters, dump police, a secret society (I think?), and missing children. I mean what more can you ask for? Oh yeah and girly uses knives and a chainsaw to fight. Yeah that’s right a chainsaw. If you don’t like children being injured/killed or...
i'm finally starting to read this series and i already dig it.review to come!
Something is Killing the Children is both the title and the plot summary of this awful comic to which I would append: - And It’s Not Worth Reading Any Further! Monsters in a small town are killing children. So some random chick comes to town and starts killing monsters. It really is that simplistically braindead. Questions like: who are these monsters? Why are they killing children specifically? Why here and now? Who is this girl, the improbably named Erica Slaughter? Why is she killing monsters...
*Read as single issues*BANG! - That's how this vol starts. And that's how it continues. And that's how it ends.There's no dithering, no beating around the bush, no half-hearted action. We've got a monster devoted to its children-killing ways, a monster-hunter devoted to her monster-killing ways, an adult devoted to stopping the monster-hunter's ways and a kid devoted to getting in the way. Oh, and a stuffed octopus toy devoted to being as unhelpful as possible (don't ask).It was just fantastic!
Tynion is clearly aiming to usurp Snakes on a Plane’s coveted “Title That Tells You Exactly What’s Coming With Absolutely No Metaphorical Meaning Whatsoever” award, and he may just get it with this twisted, gory, violent, creepy tale of a grotesque monster (the titular “Something”) that is titularly Killing the titular Children (heh heh…I said “titular” like 37 times). It's grim and dark, but it’s a fun read (which makes me sound sadistic, but, well, it is what it is). Looking forward to Vol. 2....
