The first story arc for House of Slaughter wraps up next week, but creators James Tynion IV, Sam Johns, Letizia Cadonici, and Werther Dell’Edera are ready to continue the series with an all-new story arriving in May 2022.
Edwin Slaughter is a Scarlet Mask, one of the secret record keepers of the Order of St. George. He’s enamored with stories of ancient hunters, as well as those in his midst, but he only gets to write the stories and never live them himself. That is, until what starts out as standard reconnaissance for the Order turns Edwin’s world upside down—a legendary monster is discovered, one long thought extinct! It’s taken the lives of countless children, bringing Edwin into the field and into real danger for the very first time.
“When we decided to launch a supporting title to Something is Killing the Children, the goal was to create a series that could cycle through many stories in the mythology surrounding the HOUSE OF SLAUGHTER. The stories Werther and I would never get a chance to tell, but knew must be told!” said said Tynion IV. “Sam and Letizia introduce you to Edwin Slaughter, a member of the Scarlet Masks. There’s so much depth behind their blood red masks–I’m so excited for you to learn more about them, and Edwin in particular!
“Exploring the HOUSE OF SLAUGHTER, we got to know Aaron and Jace better. Now it’s Edwin’s turn and many new characters will join in,” said Dell’Edera. “The world of Something is Killing the Children continues to grow with a new creative team and brand new characters! How exciting!”
