BOOM!; $14.99
When the children of Archer’s Peak begin to go missing and start dying in horrific ways, everything seems hopeless. The local police are mystified by the brutal murders and are frantic to catch the killer. But they refuse to believe the few children that return alive spinning impossible stories of terrifying creatures that live in the shadows.
Their only hope is the arrival of a mysterious stranger, one who believes the children and claims to be the only one who sees what they can see. Enter Erica Slaughter. She rides into town and promises to solve their “monster” problem. As the horrified townspeople watch, Erica readies herself for a war only she can see, causing suspicions to rise. The police and concerned citizens track her every move as she and young James prepare to finally face the monsters that have been killing his friends. The time for investigation is over. The hunt begins. But is James really ready to confront the monster that killed his friends?
Writer James Tynion IV (Batman: Detective Comics) pulls readers into an abyss filled with their worst fears in this limited series. Meanwhile, Werther Dell’Edera’s (Briggs Land) strikingly detailed art brings the nightmarish events to life.
