SOMETHING IS KILLING THE CHILDREN VARIANT
BOOM! Studios has unveiled Jenny Frison's variant cover for Something is Killing the Children #1. The cover features the mysterious monster hunter, Erica Slaughter, who arrives in the middle of a string of startling deaths in a small, close-knit community rocked by the tragedies and consumed by fear.
The issue, from writer James Tynion IV and artist Werther Dell'Edera, will be available on Sept. 4.
Here's how BOOM! describes the story:
"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 childrenfs lives? And more importantly, can the children trust this strange adult with their secrets?"
Something is Killing the Children #1 features cover art by Dell'Edera and another variant cover by artists Jae Lee and June Chung.
WE SERVED THE PEOPLE: MY MOTHERfS STORIES
BOOM! Studios has announced an April release for the original graphic novel We Served The People: My Motherfs Stories, from Emei Burell as she breathes new life into the stories her mother shared of growing up in mid-1960s Communist China.
Here's how BOOM! describes the book:
"In China, an entire generation;s most formative years took place in remote rural areas when city kids were sent to the countryside to become rusticated youth and partake in Mao's mandated Great Leap Forward. In an inspiring tale, Emei's mother, Yuan Ye Ping, recounts how she ended up as one of the few truck-driving women during the Up to the Mountains and Down to the Countryside Movement, which sought to increase agricultural outreach and spur social and ideological change amongst youth.
"Burell's stunning illustrations honor her mother's courage, strength, and determination during a decade of tremendous political upheaval and introduces us to a young woman in a new era of self-discovery."
"Getting to work on such a personal story of someone who I love and admire so much is truly amazing. I can't wait to share with the world all of the incredible stories that my mother has shared with me growing up until now," Burell said.
