Get Your Comic On - Michael Brennan
Oct 08, 2026A monumental issue that cements this bold, twisty and delicious series as one of the best comics of all time. Issue #50 proves that Something is Killing the Children is truly legendary. This is a series that isn’t slowing down anytime soon, and the creatives behind the wheel know exactly where they’re taking it. Read Full Review

Oct 07, 2026Erica’s return to present time brings forth a much needed encounter behind heavy drama. Tynion IV opens deep wounds with incredible writing. Dell’edera and Muerto craft the intense exchanges with superb art. No one does slow burn drama better than SIKTC! Read Full Review

Comic Crusaders - Al Mega
Oct 12, 2026Still, there’s something beautifully messed up about celebrating fifty issues of this series by reminding us that Erica’s greatest battles didn’t necessarily begin with monsters. Some started with the people responsible for teaching her how to survive them. That final stretch, especially the jump forward and the unsettling glimpse of what comes next, leaves plenty hanging in the air. Tynion and Dell’Edera aren’t interested in giving us a victory lap. They’re reminding us how deep this mythology runs and how much damage can hide behind the word family. Fifty issues deep, the nightmare still has teeth. Read Full Review

Better than previous issues. Felt like the story moved a little bit instead of the stagnant nonsense in the last couple of ones. The dialog (like in everything Tynion IV does) is crisp and well written. The art is top tier too. Just wish the story didn't drag so much.
