This Winter, Fears Manifest Into Living Monsters In ‘Swamp Thing Is Killing The Children’ #1 

In a world where the fears of children manifest into living, breathing monsters, BOOM! Studios’ new crossover brings one of horror’s most iconic characters straight into the Slaughterverse.

James Tynion IV and Werther Dell’Edera, the creative team behind Something is Killing the Children, push the boundaries for the very first crossover story ever told in the fan-favorite Slaughterverse.

Two siblings who are life-long comics fans find their way to horror comics, in spite of the fears they inspire.

As the terrifying visions from the pages of the comics start to come to life, Erica Slaughter will have to hunt down one of horror’s most recognizable figures — Swamp Thing himself!

Swamp Thing is Killing the Children #1 is slated for release on December 2nd, 2026, with final order cutoff falling on October 19th. Covers include a main cover by series artist Dell’Edera and variants by Jenny Frison, Tyler Boss, Martin Morazzo, Alvaro Martinez, and more.
