**FINAL COVER EXPECTED TO HAVE TITLE AND BARCODE**

Discover the inner workings of the House of Slaughter in this new horror series exploring the secret history of the Order that forged Erica Slaughter into the monster hunter she is today.

You know Aaron Slaughter as Erica's handler and rival. But before he donned the black mask, Aaron was a teenager training within the House of Slaughter.

Surviving within the school is tough enough, but it gets even more complicated when Aaron falls for a mysterious boy destined to be his competition.

Dive deeper into the world of Something is Killing the Children in this first story arc by co-creator James Tynion IV (The Department of Truth, The Nice House on the Lake) and co-writer Tate Brombal (Barbalien), with art by rising star Chris Shehan (The Autumnal) and co-creator Werther Dell'Edera (Razorblades).

This is a CGC /CBCS 9.8 guaranteed presale and cannot be cancelled once the release date has passed and the books have been sent to CGC /CBCS due to grading costs.

All CGC9.8 presales will be submitted via Standard Grading which takes 5-6 MONTHS (as of 5/27) once CGC checks the books into their system (takes up to 2 months). This does not include the time it takes to press, prescreen, ship and CGC /CBCS to receive the books in their system. Or the time it takes for the books to ship back from CGC to us.

Additional delays may occur due to damages and incomplete order fulfillment at the distributor level.
Orders with books on multiple release dates will be filled once all books from the order are received.

If you have multiple orders open then an early partial shipment may be sent in combination with another order to help speed things up a little in that instance.

If this is a time sensitive gift, we have a large selection of in stock CGC slabs that dont require a wait time for grading.
