BOOM! Studios today revealed that HOUSE OF SLAUGHTER #16, the latest issue set in the world of the Eisner Award-winning hit series SOMETHING IS KILLING THE CHILDREN, has sold out at the distributor level.
In response to the overwhelming support from retailers and fans, BOOM! Studios has announced HOUSE OF SLAUGHTER #16 SECOND PRINTING, featuring main cover art by Javier Rodriguez (Batman: The Brave and the Bold), available September 6, 2023.
“HOUSE OF SLAUGHTER #16 ushers in a brand new story arc, one that not only explores another group of masks within the house but also shines a spotlight on a character that has intrigued fans since his introduction,” said Filip Sablik, President, Publishing & Sales, BOOM! Studios. “The Slaughterverse indeed takes another bold and twisted turn, all thanks to the amazing returning creative team of Sam, Letizia, and Franceso taking the reins!”
From the minds of award-winning writer James Tynion IV (The Department of Truth, The Nice House on the Lake) and co-creator Werther Dell’Edera (Razorblades), written by Sam Johns (The Joker, The Backstagers), illustrated by highly acclaimed artist Letizia Cadonici (The Neighbors), colored by Francesco Segala, and lettered by AndWorld Design, comes the new story arc of HOUSE OF SLAUGHTER spotlighting the White Masks.
There is nothing the ruthless White Masks won’t do to eliminate a nest of monsters. Nothing is apparently unthinkable or off-limits, as a special and infamous member of their ranks is dispatched to finish the job in Erie, Pennsylvania. Bait, a fan-favorite White Mask (a young boy with amputated arms and a tendency to survive suicidal odds), is dispatched with a mission more malicious than imaginable at hand. Something (or someone) else is killing the children now, and however unexpected… the children will find the one that hunts them viciously familiar…
