Something is Killing the Children, Book One by James Tynion IV, James Tynion IV
5.0

One of the best first arcs ever in comics IMO.

James watches all his friends brutally ripped apart. Erica comes into town, she's a monster hunter. Meaning she'll hunt down all the monsters killing children and fuck them up. But things begin to spiral out of control and when we find out how many monsters there truly are, everything basically goes to hell.

James Tynion creates such a unbelievably realistic world in fantasy. All the characters feel like real life people, despite Erica and co fighting against fairy tale monsters created by people's mind. I love the art too, giving such life to characters with great emotive faces and reactions and cool as hell monster designs.

If you're a fan of horror, good character development, great pacing, and creative world, this is a comic you should/must be reading. A 5 out of 5.
