Doc and Angus celebrate our Comic Book Character Of The Month Erica Slaughter. They review her first story arc from Something is Killing the Children Volumes 1-3.

Something is Killing the Children (8 book series)

https://www.amazon.com/Something-is-Killing-the-Children-8-book-series/dp/B087F7SRC5

GLAAD Award-winning writer James Tynion IV (Memetic, Batman: Detective Comics) teams with artist Werther Dell'Edera (Briggs Land) for an all-new limited series about staring into the abyss to find your worst fears staring back. When the children of Archer's Peak begin to go missing, everything seems hopeless. Most children never return, but the ones that do have terrible stories -- impossible stories of terrifying creatures that live in the shadows. Their only hope of finding and eliminating the threat is the arrival of a mysterious stranger, one who believes the children and claims to see what they can see. Her name is Erica Slaughter. She kills monsters. That is all she does, and she bears the cost because it MUST be done.

Manga Month and Halloween Horror Month collide when Doc and Angus discuss Gou Tanabe's manga masterwork 'H.P. Lovecraft At The Mountains Of Madness' Deluxe Edition.

H.P. Lovecraft's At the Mountains of Madness Deluxe Edition

https://www.amazon.com/Lovecrafts-Mountains-Madness-Deluxe-Lovecraft/dp/1506740693/

In 1931, an expedition team arrives at a campsite in Antarctica…to find its crew of men and sled dogs strewn and dead.

Some are hideously mangled, as if in rage—some have been dissected in a curious and cold-blooded manner. One man is missing. But a still more horrific sight is the star-shaped mound of snow nearby…for under its five points is another mass grave—and what lies there is not remotely human!

At the Mountains of Madness is a journey into the core of Lovecraft’s Mythos—into the deep caverns and even deeper time of the dead continent where the secret history of our planet is preserved. Since it was first published in Astounding Stories during the classic pulp era, At the Mountains of Madness has influenced both horror and science fiction worldwide!

Nominated for the Eisner and Harvey Awards, Gou Tanabe’s adaptation of the Lovecraft classic is collected in its entirety in Dark Horse’s acclaimed Deluxe Edition manga format.

Collects H.P. Lovecraft’s At the Mountains of Madness Volume 1 and 2.
