Misleadingly titled--fewer children getting killed in this one. Really should have been, "Something is Killing the Child" this time around. Still, entertaining as hell. Which is where I'm going for enjoying it.
An origin story for Erica, our favourite daughter of Slaughter! Good stuff.
This one gotta be my favorite in the series so far. I would give it 10/10 if I could.
THIS SERIES WAS SO GOOD.what a wild ride for real, many merci's to bri < 3
Plan: After enjoying volume 1, buy volumes 2-4 together ... then ... enjoy them independently, spread them out over time.Reality: not so much.Revised Plan: Having consumed volumes 2-3 back-to-back, late in the evening ... going to sleep would be an excellent opportunity/excuse/approach to not immediately reaching for volume 4.Reality: not so much. Staying up late(r ... too late) to finish a book is far too deeply engrained in my psyche ... is almost second nature ... at this point in my life...A...
The story jumps back in time to show how Erica was recruited and inducted into the House of Slaughter and the Order of St. George. Thanks to the character interactions, I was totally enthralled even if the ending was a bit flat in execution and there wasn't much tension since the result was already obvious from reading previous books. Definitely a journey-not-the-destination book that I gobbled too quickly, leaving me ravenous for the next.
Although this says it is volume 4 it really is a prequel to the story we have read so far. In his one, we learn about the tragedy that happened to Erica and how she became a member of the House of Slaughter.At this time I am not really surprised that I am giving another collection in this story a five star rating. This is easily one of my favorites and the quality is so consistently fantastic. This is the hero's origination story. We see Erica as an eleven year old and a monster has just killed
Flash back to the origin of Erika Slaughter - discover the truth of her first encounter with monsters, and her initiation in the House Of Slaughter and all of its terrible methods.I was surprised to see SIKTC going hard on the origin story - this initially feels like the type of story that would have been threaded through the present day plotline as a series of flashbacks rather than having the entire story taken up by it, but once you realise that it's more than just about Erika, it makes more
Don’t love flashback exposition / backfill / etcetera, but the artwork, character design, and dark lustre of this lore dump help me along with forgiving all that. Feels a little like a small coda to the previous stretch, or a bridge to just wherever it is the series is gonna go next after such a full and finished arc. I’m not even sure where Tynion & co. should go from here, but it’d be nice to see Erica not dealing with big overarching house of slaughter lore and do some monster of the week shi...
Interesting worldbuilding.

This series consistently delivers. The mystery and intrigue that was drip fed about Erica's backround is given an origin story. The dialogue is sharp, the art work remains solid, and I'm down with wherever Tynion want to take us next.I do have a challenge with the panel layouts. I have read a tonne of comics over the years and I still stumble on which panel comes next it switches from wide 2 page panel to single page and just seems odd at times when your not sure which dialogue comes next and yo...
Maybe one of my favorite volumes so far and this whole series has been fantastic. This is mostly just giving us the origin story of Erica, but that's okay, she's a great character. You find out what happened to her parents, and how she became a hunter. You get to see a deeper look into the Slaughterhouse and how they run their shit as well, which is to say very screwed up boarding school like way with murdering training demons. But yeah, fantastic to say the least. Great character growth, amazin...
(A-) 81% | Very GoodNotes: A basic orphan origin, ingeniously devised: its strange new world, unknowns unfurled, from expressive child's eyes.
erica slaughter is just so unhinged i love her ❤️
I NEED MORE
Volume 4 is its own thing on a way, as the previous arc was closed at the end of number three, and what we have here is actually a flashback in the form of the origin story of our main heroine, Erica Slaughter.Volume 4 is coincidentally also the best of the series so far, and it gives a lot of background not only on the character but the whole Order in terms of its origins and how things actually work.This is a masterpiece of storytelling and art, and I can only hope we get more of this in the f...
Ooohhhh…interesting. The final installment of this four part series is an Erica Slaughter prequel😗I’m curious to know why this is presented after the initial plot ends and not in the second or third slot but as an Erica Slaughter fan, I can’t really complain too much. This prequel does very well at filling in the gaps with Erica’s introduction to being a monster hunter as well as a much more fleshed out understanding of how this society of monster hunters functions. This final piece of the puzzl...
The next installment of the horror/action series featuring murderous monsters and the shadow group of mysterious hunters tasked with destroying them. There's a definite "Hollywood" aspect to this series, and that element is more apparent in this volume. That said, as evidenced by the title, it still deals with some quite dark subject matter and is not to all readers' sensibilities. An aside: What's with Big Gary proclaiming his love for cows, calling them "beautiful" and "like big puppies," and
Decent start to the new arch.We got to see how Erica became part of the house of slaughter. Art is still great, lots of history and some familiar faces. I'm pretty excited for the next vol.
