Media Release -- BOOM! Studios today revealed a first look at BOOK OF SLAUGHTER #1, the very first one-shot special in the world of the Eisner Award-winning SOMETHING IS KILLING THE CHILDREN, from creators James Tynion IV and Werther Dell'Edera, with artist Letizia Cadonici, with colorists Miquel Muerto and Francesco Segala, and letterer AndWorld Design, featuring a fan-favorite Slaughter whose secrets are yet to be revealed, available in December 2022. 

From the sidelines to the spotlight, the White Mask Maxine Slaughter features in this new special issue that ties together threads from both Slaughterverse series… but will her loyalties remain where they have always been, or will she show her true colors?
