BOOM! Studios today revealed that James Tynion IV and Werther Dell’Edera’s Slaughterverse prequel story, SOMETHING IS KILLING THE CHILDREN #0, has sold out at the distributor level before release!

Fans of the mega-hit horror series should prioritize getting to their local comic shops, because once Issue #0 is off shelves, it won’t be reprinted again!

This crucial mission in Erica’s past details the brutal hunt preceding her arrival in Archer’s Peak. It ends with Erica walking out of the woods to meet a little girl waiting by a red wagon–now James Tynion IV and Werther Dell’Edera take you back to where it begins.

Something is Killing the Children #0 is a landmark issue for the series, a story that brings us all the way back to Erica’s first appearance in Something is Killing the Children #1 and recontextualizes everything that happens afterwards.” said series co-creator and Eisner winning author James Tynion IV.

“The response to this special issue of Something Is Killing The Children has been incredible,” said series editor Ramiro Portnoy. “Issue #0 was a passion project for all of us here, and is sure to become a highly sought after issue as we move into the next five years of the Slaughterverse!”
