ANGEL/BUFFY CROSSOVER

BOOM! Studios has announced that Angel #5 will be the official prelude to Hellmouth, a Buffy and Angel comic-book event.

The road to Hellmouth begins on Sept. 25 from writer Bryan Edward Hill and artist Gleb Melnikov, as Angel #5 reveals that Angel now knows his true mission -- to make sure the Hellmouth stays sealed! He'll stop anyone who gets in his way, be it friend or foe, vampire./.or Slayer.

"Everything in Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel has been leading to Hellmouth, the first major comic book event featuring Buffy and Angel. But Angel #5 is where the pieces all start coming together," said editor Jeanine Schaefer. "We're excited for fans to see just how far we'll go in this reimagining of two huge pop culture icons -- because when Buffy and Angel finally meet, it's not going to go the way you expect!h

Angel #5 features a main cover by Dan Panosian, with variant covers by Scott Buoncristiano and Troy Nixey.



BOOM! STUDIOS' SOMETHING IS KILLING THE CHILDREN

BOOM! Studios has announced a Sept. 4 release for Something is Killing the Children, an original graphic novel by James Tynion IV and Werther Dell'Edera.

Here's how BOOM! describes the book:

"In a sleepy town in the heart of America, children have started to die in horrific ways. The local police are mystified by the brutal murders, and frantic to catch the killer. But they refuse to believe reports of impossible creatures that lurk in the shadows snatching children and tearing them to pieces, especially since the only people who claim to have seen these so-called monsters are other children. Enter Erica Slaughter, a mysterious stranger who rides into town and claims she can solve their 'monster' problem. But can the townspeople trust this dangerous outsider with their childrenfs lives? And more importantly, can the children trust this strange adult with their secrets?"

"Something Is Killing The Children is a project that has been living in my head for a long, long time," Tynion said. "It's shifted and changed in different ways at different moments, but ultimately I think this was the form it was always meant to take. There are horrifying things in the world that are only really visible to the young -- unique societal pressures and terrors, monsters, unshaped creatures of fear and horror that prey on children -- and much as we try to protect them, we fail, over and over again."

"This is a very grounded human story about very grounded human fears that take a more literal, horrifying shape. And then there's Erica Slaughter. She kills the monsters the other adults can't see. I am very excited for all of you to enter the world Werther and I have created, so you can meet her."
