‘Something is Killing the Children: Volume 7’ by James Tynion IV with art by Werther Dell’Edera is the final volume in the graphic novel series and collects issues 31-35 of the comic book series.

The people of the aptly named town of Tribulation have been a lot. Erica Slaughter has just narrowly survived the Duplicitype, but there is still work to be done as Cutter seeks revenge. Add in the still living Duplicitype wearing Erica’s face to add chaos and horror. How will it end? Or will it?

There are some good showdowns and fights in this final volume, but it all feels a bit rushed. The art here is as solid as it has been throughout the series.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

This was a re-read for me because I've already read all the issues of this volume but I still liked reading it for a second time. This graphic novel has become a favorite of mine since I started it and I will be following it until the end.

This is the conclusion of the Cutter storyline. It's both satisfying and bittersweet. I wouldn't recommend starting with this volume. These do need to be read in order from the very beginning for full enjoyment. The artwork is savagely gorgeous.

**I received an eARC via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. (But ended up reading this in print because I definitely overestimated my eyeball's ability to read a graphic novel on a small phone screen)**

This has become one of my favorite graphic novel series. It’s full of bloody battles with creatures not everyone can see and a hero you want to root for.

A fantastic conclusion to this storyline. Intense, emotional, gritty, dark - and at the same time, clever, witty, and fun. (I'm sorry, I'm just delighted by the way this volume played with western tropes.) James Tynion IV is consistently my favorite comic writer, and I can't wait to see where the story goes next!

I have a large group of patrons that have read the series on Hoopla, so I dove in! What a great gothic story in graphic novel form. Brilliant artwork and storyline!

Oh man the conclusion of this story arch 😭😭 i am so intrigued where Tynion is going to take this story now if we’re working up to the end of Erica’s story in general regardless I’m kinda sad since I love this series so much and these characters!

Thanks to Boom! Studios and the creators of Something is Killing for providing this free e-arc via NetGalley. I just read it and continue to find the characters and the storylines gripping. Horror is not my usual go-to genre, but I can't stop reading this series. The intensity, the gritty action and the actually scary monsters (both human and non-human) are well-written and drawn. Hope this continues.

This is a really great comic series and the drama is only continuing to build in this installment. The story line, drawing, everything is on point. I'm looking forward to the next collection.

This is gripping, to say the least, and a fantastic example of creating fear and atmosphere in comics. Tynion is a master of craft and the art is compelling.

Thanks to Netgalley for saucing me a copy!

Something is Killing the Children only get better and better as the volumes go on. I honestly think that graphic novels are my favorite medium for horror stories.

Volume 7 features the resolution of the arch started in volume 5(?) and once again Erica gets away but it never feels like a true win.

James Tynion IV continues to be the best current day comic writer. This is a solid addition into one of the best ongoing run in modern day comics. If you are a fan of the series so far expect more of what you get, if you've never read this series grab the first volume and get to it!

I beta-read the first volume long ago and to be able to read the 7th volume, it's a pleasure. This story has everything I enjoy and more. The characters, the plot, the design (and art) are my favs.

I think this volume wrapped up the latest arc in interesting way. I think it provided a better insight into some of the characters and their mindsets and it closed this storyline while making me excited to begin reading the next. It was a strong addition to this horror saga, and though I do think it was a bit less action packed than previous volumes, it made the action scenes that were there count.

Something is Killing the Children is a great comic series. This volume continues the story and ends the current arc of the series. The story is interesting and the artwork is fantastic. Horror and action fans will enjoy this volume and series.

I was just dropped in the finale of an arc that I dont know and a series that I havent read before. But the action and art are pretty good.

I thought this final book in the series was…rather disappointing. The tension wasn’t really there, the stakes just didn’t feel as high as the previous books. I’m glad that Erica got the ending that she deserved, but the actual wrap-up was so quick & very vague about Erica’s intentions/plans for the future. I was hoping there’s be more…hope to it? Instead it wallowed in the results of the final battle. I know it’s meant to be a dark story but jeez cmon.

Ill try the spin-off if it does get published but only if it tells more about Erica.

In this volume we finally get the showdown between Erika and a vengeful Cutter. Erika has stolen Cutter's Dolly and she's really kicked the hornets nest. Cutter is out for blood but so is the Duplicitype that's wearing Erika's face. Can she take on both of them on and protect Gabi? You'll have to read this volume to find out for yourself! I loved this volume and I can't wait to see where the story goes from here.

I would like to thank NetGalley for the ARC if this book.

I was so excited to see that the next volume of this series was being released this year. I devoured the previous 6 volumes last year. Although this book is gory and has a touch of horror, I absolutely love it. The concept of children making monsters unknowingly and then there being an agency of adults to hunt down those monsters is top tier. This latest volume see’s Erica experiencing another loss while coming face to face with a monster that wears her face. I loved this volume and can’t wait for the next!

I've really enjoyed the work that James Tynion IV has turned in for DC Comics over the past several years. His creator-owned work is next level though. I'm a latecomer to Something is Killing the Children, but it's allowed me to binge the whole series in a relatively short period of time and that has been one awesome ride. But now comes the hardest part, having caught up with Volume 7, I will have to sit and wait. This volume continues to move the story forward while teasing us with hints at the past. I really have no idea where it's going and that is exciting as a fan. The writing continues to be top notch and the art is perfect for the book.

Special Thanks to BOOM! Studios and Netgalley for the digital ARC. This was given to me for an honest review.
