Something Is Killing the Children Vol. 1 | 
Haven't been back on here in awhile, a lot of things had been changing at work and I'mtaking a next bigt step in my life.
Decided to go back to the beginning for SIKTC since it's been some time since I started the series, grabbed it out of sheer curiousity. It's one of the few graphic novel series that I've kept up with constantly.
I really wanna catch up and know more about the monster hunters and monsters.
pickSo I loved this “re-read” of this one. I feel like I had fizzled out of the series for some reason (I first read it 3 yrs ago) but maybe it was because of availability? Anyway… glad to start this series again

(Might have to pick other goals because I finished this one before the Read-a-thon even started)
I want to say that I tried this series before and couldn't get into it. I was told by a billion people that it was great, so I am going to re-visit it. I did find my old review saying I had it a “pick“ so... yeah.

Goals:
❄ Finish: The Last Word
❄ Start/Finish: Something is Killing the Children
❄ Start/Finish: The Last Days of American Crime
Not very festive, but my favorite graphic novels by one of my favorite artists.

I love this series! It's excellent storytelling with vivid artwork that builds a creepy atmosphere full of mystery that makes you desperate to read the next issue as soon as you finish.
Highly recommend for fans of horror.
pickOkay, I‘m hooked. I just requested volumes 2 and 3.
pickWell, my bank account does not like how much I liked this! So gripping, I wish I would‘ve bought the next books in the series already! i‘m so curious to see how the story will develope! 5/5🌟
New in! I don‘t often read comics, but I usually enjoy them! I hope this series will be good and worth continuing- I will dive right into it tonight😍
I am obsessed, COMPLETELY OBSESSED, with this graphic novel series! I checked out the first few volumes from the library, and then fell so hard for it I had to rush out and get the first three volumes in a collected edition! 🥰📚💕 It gives off such Stranger Things vibes somehow!

Looking at my GR tracker for June, I see that I still haven't rated How High We Go in the Dark. This is undoubtedly one of the most emotionally impactful books I read this year, but I'm not sure if it was a favorite. To be honest, at times I even felt a bit manipulated by it. I need to revisit it in a few yrs & see how I feel. However, Something is Killing the Children, the best ongoing horror gn at the moment is a favorite (cont)
pick⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐5 ⭐
This was the Eisner award winner for best new series in 2020 and it deserves it. This is a horror, graphic novel about a town where children are missing or showing up as bloody body parts. Something or someone has devoured them and left the entrails. One kid survived, and now everyone thinks he‘s to blame. James used to have nightmares and would tell his friends about them until his life became a nightmare. ⬇
pick4/5
There are monsters in the woods and only the children can see them. A very spooky, horror read.

pickI think if I were to describe a near perfect first volume, it would be this one. Enough craziness, action, and story given to keep me engaged; but also, plenty of tidbits dropped to keep me wondering about future volumes. The title is the synopsis and it seems a fairly ‘simple‘ storyline, but they‘ve added so much more to keep it on the fun side of crazy.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
#ScarathlonDailyPrompts Oct 3 #Killer
Our main character, featured on the cover is most definitely a killer. Also if you want a good horror graphic novel with Buffy vibes-I highly recommend this series!
#Scarathlon2022 #TeamMonsterMash
pickRead this a few months back, and I enjoyed every second of how disturbing and bloody this story is. A great series to obsess over right now #horror #graphicnovels
pickAwesome graphic novel, if bloody. Combines a missing persons mystery with a monster feature. It also contains a badass heroine. I loved the illustrations. There are 3 more volumes.
#JubilantJuly @Andrew65
pickSomething is Killing the Children could have very well served as an alternate title for IT & volume 1 of the series has many of the same vibes as King's novel. I LOVED this gn about a Wisconsin town where monsters are all too real & only children can see them until a stranger arrives to help. I'm so happy I have vol. 2 already checked out from the library.
Decided to change it up a bit today and read this. It's fabulous!
And my little boy, Ace, is in a cuddling mood today after a rough night of thunderstorms. Very rare for him since he's usually in a playful terrible two mood. 😁

pickI absolutely loved this book! I‘m new to comics but I really make use of my #comixology subscription! I just finished it, and got the next part!
pickWhat a great introduction to this horror series. I‘m so happy I stumbled upon this graphic novel while browsing the comic bookstore. The artwork combines with the storyline draws you in and makes it so you have to keep reading to see what happens next. #Scarathlon2021 #TeamHendrix #Screamathon2021 #BFC2021 #Spookoweenreadathon #Wickedathon #BookSlinBingo +76 pts
pickSomething spoOoky for October 👻 Now I need to check Hoopla for vol. 2!
pickIt‘s spooky season! Perfect book to get in the Halloween mood!
pickBrutal and creepy. Enough happens that the mysteries aren't frustrating or obnoxious. Looking forward to volume 2.
pickCreepy, gory and fun! I enjoyed this one a lot and I'm definitely getting Vol 2!!

pick3.5-4 stars
Engaging monster hunter graphic novel series. So far so good. The art is really eye catching and the story is building. Interested to see where this goes.

The artwork is very cool. The story line is fantastic and elusive. It leaves a bit of mystery. I‘ll definitely be continuing on with this series.
pick4🌟 I really enjoyed this volume, and I am so happy that they decided to do an extended series. The art is fantastic and there are a bunch of elements that I'm still very curious about. Warning: This is a very gory comic, but I don't consider it distasteful. Just a definite horror comic.
@TheAromaofBooks
This was my #DoubleSpin book for November.
pickThis was a fun, spooky, quite straightforward graphic novel where (you guessed it) something is killing the children and a mysterious woman arrives to kill the monster. It wasn‘t breaking any boundaries really but I enjoyed it and liked the characters and art.

pickFinished Vol 1 the other day = 5 comics in the Volume ...They were more monster type books so they don't really fit the #TeamTheme

pickExcellent horror. It is dark--literally and figuratively--and bloody with an intriguing storyline. I'm not always crazy about the art style, but I'll stay for the story and characters (one of the main characters is queer and it isn't about him being queer!).
TW for harm to children.
I've been having trouble finding a book that keeps my attention, but I read volume one of Ms. Marvel (by G. Willow Wilson) last night so I'm continuing with comics. I really like James Tynion IV's work but haven't checked this out yet. (For some reason, Litsy doesn't have issue #1 in their database, and that's what I borrowed from Hoopla.)
pickJust finished this one today.....super creepy! #graphicnovels #comicbooks #augustreads #scaryreads
#NCBD is the best day...even if it‘s a day late. Looking forward to reading everything but super excited to return to Strange Academy and then to dive into Something is Killing the Children which I‘ve heard great things about.
pickA promising start to this graphic novel horror series! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
pickI just loved this comic. Right from the start, this comic had me in suspense.
The story didn't reveal too much too quickly & had me in suspense the whole way through.
The artwork was fantastic & included some really great full page panels
I think this is my new favourite comic & it's probably the best comic of this genre that I've read since reading Locke & Key which is saying a lot. I can't wait to read more of this series

pickI recently got a Netgalley account and this was one of the first ARCs I received.
I really liked this graphic novel. Somehow, on my first read, the text bubbles were missing. The story worked without those, too, so the art is damn expressive. It was better with the full story though.
Horror, monsters only children can see, and a talking stuffed Octopus. I can see myself picking up this and the next book when it is released at my comic book store.
Getting lots of snuggles while I work through some Netgalley comics
“You‘re James, right?”
“Are you going to hurt me?”
“Probably not.”
“Cool.”
I‘m interested in how the gaze of all the characters we are meant empathize with in issue #1 is wholly or partially obscured. It‘s as if we‘re meant to empathize with them, but not too much.
