A fucking faggot couple every 2 issues, what in the fucking hell. 1 lesbian couple, 7 gay ones and they're all kids.How am I supposed to feel bad for those dying people when they are all faggots LMAO not like they were going to breed anyway.
>>152463312also the entire series is just "w*man moment" the comic, just follow your orders bitch
Oh, this is still going? I figured this had ended already.
>>152463312Spoil this shit already, what is killing the kids? Ayys?
>>152463409monsters that live under your bed
>>152463320>just follow your orders bitchHer orders are to also kill the children because it's the children who manifest the monsters and if the children are still alive there is a chance the monsters will come back and kill more/other children. The only way to avert this is to recruit the child as a monster hunter or make them 100% believe the monster was not real so they won't re-summon it, but it's less risky to just kill them that's why she refused >>152463409see above
>>152463414James Tynion IV, not even once.
>>152463312This series would suck just as bad if everyone was straight. It's a crap comic through and through.
>>152463453That's why she tells this girl to never believe what she saw wasn't wolves so she wouldn't have to kill her. but I'm pretty sure they're going to kill this kid and that's what causes a rift in the order
>>152463312I had the displeasure of reading SIKTC. the indie output of today is NOTHING like the non cape stuff from 15 to 20 years ago. TWD, Y the Last Man, Hellblazer, Fables, Scalped, The Invisibles, 100 Bullets, Hellboy. Current stuff is immensely BORING shit made by hacks. Look at the pic even the font is so lame it feels like a joke. If I'm wrong, pls recommend a current indie title other than Kaya.
>>152463453sounds reasonableAlso she could TRY to change the house from the inside (like the old fart said she should) BUT NOOOOO she had to go rouge which resulted in even more people dyingAnyway seriously, this is getting silly, do heteros simply don't exist?
>>152463638Yeah, I didn't understand her choice to leave after he told her she could influence the house from the inside rather than work against them from the outside. James Tynion has complete control over all his series and he's gay. I liked W0rldtr33 just because I like Ph34r. But I tried reading Exquisite Corpses and dropped it after the first issue because of the two guys making out. He just can't help himself it seems. At least in SIKTC they usually die and there isn't anything graphic.
>>152463635Its crud because it is clearly pitching for a netflix show. Indie of the past was a fuck you to capeshit and tried to have a beginning, middle, and end.
>>152463712nta but Tynion seems capable of coming with interesting ideas but he just butch them in the execution, specially with the overdone gay stuff>>152463739Bingo. Everyone wants to hop on the money train.
>>152463739SIKTC was supposed to be like a 6 issue limited series but it sold so well they continued it. I would say he is definitely trying to get optioned, but Blumhouse already optioned it and are making a movie and animated series supposedly.
>>152463797>butch them in the executionW0rldtr33 follows the same formula, 15 issues or so sent in the present, then half a dozen flashback issues about the background of a character. I did like Cutter and that storyline, it sucked it ended so quickly just to do another flashback
>>152463807That sounds about right. The first series was alright for what it was. Everything after feels like it is trying to extract drama for episodes and a patch job.
>>152463312I ordered the books a few days ago fucking dammit how come none of the reviewers mentioned that shit?
>therapy sessions for millennial women who didn't grow out of their emo phaseeasier to say that
I enjoy the series because, for all its faults, it's still a very interesting premise with some good world-building... I just wish he'd wrap up this fucking prequel arc shit and get back to the main plot with Erica temporarily or permanently losing her ability to see monsters and the pending fallout from killing the assassin sent by the order.
>>152464874>millennial womenThe writer is a male
>>152464949honourary woman
>>152464276The second arc was okay.
>>152464934>pending fallout from killing the assassin sent by the orderThe order said they didn't care whether Erica or Charlotte Cutter died. They wanted Charlotte to die because she was an insane loose canon and said they would be happy with either outcome (her or Erica dying). Cecelia, who sent the assassin, even showed up and tried to help Erica win
>>152465456>Cecelia, who sent the assassin,because the Grand Dragon suggested it would be more beneficial to her if Erica won so, I didn't expect any fallout from that arc.
>>152463312>western comics are deadis that because you read whatever youtube faggot you follow posts about? ive read plenty of western comics that are fantastic
>>152463409secret organisation of faggots have been protecting monsters under the bed because theyre real and one girl will change everything!!!!1
>>152464949Pic related?That looks like a mangina to me.
>>152465659>protecting monsters under the bedThey hunt them and kill them.
>>152463312Why is Erica not gay?
>>152465867yeah but the monsters are actually the good guys because they eat children that will become bad people.
>>152463635>Y the Last ManWorst comic I've ever finished. The main character literally has his depression cured by being drugged, kidnapped, sexually tortured, and just regular tortured. Then he falls in love with the woman who made all that happen to him.
>>152463312>reads BOOM COMICS>"wow it's shit"
>>152463635>fablesdoes not belioong in that list kekall those name come from decent editorials and not boom fucking comics which was a meme company since forever
>>152466019fascinating, isnt it?
>>152466019lol
>>152465985And it's miles better than this shit.
>>152463312I think it's funny that the same people who go>Ugh, why do they put gay/black/Muslim/whatever characters in this, they don't need representation, why can't they just relate to the white characters!are the same people who are completely incapable of relating any character who is even slightly different from themselves.tl;drYou're retarded, and your shits all fucked up.
>>152463312Op I'm not sure why you care alot about the sexuality of a character instead of reading it for the story and see if you enjoy the action, plot, and a sexy monster hunter?
>>152463312It's decent enough pulpy horror garbage if you're into that sort of thing, with some alright world-building even if the prequel arc's far overstayed its welcome. Plus I wanna cum inside Erica.
>>152468198It's just really confusing especially when everyone looks like an androgynous freak (even little girls) but when you read further it turns out they are both faggots. So I want to read a comic about hunting monsters, but I have to sit trough a few pages of intro. And the intro is this....
>>152468198>>152468207I have to admit I WOULD rape Erica
>>152463638Also I'm glad the little mexican loli died, she was so annoying I was 100% sure she would become the new lesbian padawan
>>152463739This. An Anon called it when the first issue came out so I just didn't even bother. Honestly at this point if it's not a foreign comic or something that's self published it's 100% a trustfund brat trying to soft pitch to Hollywood.
>>152465648Drop some recs
>>152467924> are the same people who are completely incapable of relating any character who is even slightly different from themselvesPerhaps they should be representing the demographic that makes up 99.9% of comic book sales, then rather than literally everyone else.
>>152468198Because I'm a Christian and The Bible teaches that homosexuality is an abomination in the eyes of the LORD God. I can not endorse these heathen concepts.
>>152463712modern media doesn’t believe in “changing things from inside”, especially if the involved character with it is female.
>>152466019
It's like Hack/Slash but not as camp.
>>152467924The thing about joining the minority club is recognizing that you AREN'T the majority.
>>152463312>>152463320True>>152463414absolutely retarded
>>152468256is there a reason to why all their faces looks weird or is it just the art
>>152463739>Its crud because it is clearly pitching for a netflix show.The irony is that the best way to do this is to go for a long form comic in the first place. Robert Kirkman, for all his hackery, did not make his fortune making TV pitches, he made comics. And you can back to TMNT or The Mask or whatever if you want a more complete historical view. There is no reason to make a TV pitch, just make a fucking comic. You can have your cake and eat it
>>152469343Kirkman came around at a time when comics were still making decent money and there was actual demand for long form comics that could be alternatives to the big two. Invincible and Walking Dead started print in fucking '03. Apart from the Covid bump in '20/'21, unit sales of comics have been steadily decreasing for years. Between 2015 and 2020 unit sales dropped by about 35%.People aren't buying cake like they used to.
i like it but im not brainwashed to think everything has to be a culture war
>wah wah wahSomething is Killing the Children is one of the most successful comics these daysFrom 2019 to 2024 it sold 4.5 million in sales. I wouldn't be surprised it was the best creator owned comic (and ONLY comic--no adaptation to pump up the sales) since Saga.And it must continue to be very lucrative considering Tynion takes his sweet ass time on all his other creator owned books but makes sure he has at least one trade of SIKTC coming out a year, whether the main book or one of the spinoffs.Seethe
>>152469441/pol/ was created for Epstein to mold these guys into angry retards and it worked so hard they started rooting for the guy when it was revealed>>152469480*best selling creator owned since Saga
Honestly, despite ostensibly being an "adult" comic, SIKTC always just struck me as a gayer version of shonen aimed at white people, which is probably why half the cast is gay.
>>152469504if i remember correctly its never said if erica is gay or not. she doesnt really interact with anybody in any flirtatious or sexual way or any way that would give away her orientation. am i wrong
>>152469523Yeah but you must understand, she doesn't have a huge ass facing the reader 99% of the time or boobs bigger than her head so that means Tynion hates me personally.
>>152469594kek finally an anon with a good head on his shoulders and a sense of humour. there is a lot of gay shit in SIKTC but i still like it. not my favorite book but cool. although after issue 30 or so its been meh. the crazy bitch in picrel was the last time it was really keeping me hooked. its been a bit downhill since. i also like the art
>>152469480>Something is Killing the Children is one of the most successful comics these daysHow? Who read this shit? There are so many comics like this, why this one stand out? Also this explains why the DC Absolute line sells so well, it follows the same kind of art/shitty writing.
>>152463384Blumhouse is apparently working on a film and TV series, so the normalfags will find out about it soon to give it a second breath of life
>>152463312I stopped reading when there was smoking in it, instant dropped
>>152469496Epstein was based tho, I though you people loved to groom children anyway
>>152469594Unironically true
>>152469480
Sure is a lot of cope in this thread.
>>152463635>the indie output of today is NOTHING like the non cape stuff from 15 to 20 years ago. TWD, Y the Last Man, Hellblazer, Fables, Scalped, The Invisibles, 100 Bullets, Hellboy.alot of that stuff started well over 20 years ago by now, unc. It's also the stuff you remember. Vertigo and Darkhorse published a lot of stuff at the same time that's long forgotten.
Wow.
>>152469594Probably, comic book writers are petty little bastards. Also, the moment this becomes a show on Netflix he will be absolutely fine with the character being a huge bimbo walking nude all the time.
If the animated series does get made will the cartoon side like it?
>>152463409Me
>>152464949>Scott pilgrim shirtThat's debatable
>>152468256>I'm glad the little mexican loli diedPost it
>>152463312ok
>>152465985>The main character literally has his depression cured by being drugged, kidnapped, sexually tortured, and just regular tortured. Then he falls in love with the woman who made all that happen to him.The dream.
>>152474433
>>152474470Edgy
>>152463312i read this ages back. my one complaint i remember was that charlotte cutter's monster thing was boring. in general all the pet monsters lookded the same which is a shame because they were supposed to be reflections of the psyche of the hunters
>>152463312This whole comic is one big "not all Jews" metaphor >Yeah SOME of us eat children but not all of us!
>>152474489It's tame as fuck.
>>152463409AIDS, actually.
>>152476372Edge isn't just about the amount of gore
>>152463930Not one, but two flashback arcs, with multiple hiatuses in between them. The current arc was only supposed to last five issues iirc, but they've dragged it out for another five with another three month hiatus in between. We haven't seen present day Erica for nearly two years. I'm just about fed up with it and I really love the series. Tynion does this with all his books. He has all these ongoings and puts out like one book a month. It's bullshit.
>>152476963same man
>>152464761The gay shit is a lot less intrusive than in his other books, except for an issue where the lesbian couple monologues extensively how gay they are for each other even though it has absolutely nothing to do with the plot. I find it tolerable enough. I can tolerate more than most chuds but there is a limit and this book doesn't quite cross it for me.
>>152465630>>152465456>>152464934In Book of Cutter, Cecelia stated that Erica is dead. Obviously we know she isn't, but the Order is operating under that assumption.What is so frustrating to me about how long it's taking is that it is plainly obvious what has to happen next. Erica has to go back to Archer's Peak to get the hoard gold that she put in Tommy in the rite of trepanation, and will likely have to expose the Order's secrets and clear Tommy's name in the process. So that's going to cause all kinds of drama. Knowing what is going to happen and having to wait two damn years for it in what should be a monthly comic is fucked.
>>152477143I haven't read any of the spinoffs, are they any good? I didn't really care about the backstory of Aaron Slaughter, etc. I saw the Books Of Slaughter Deluxe Edition Limited Edition Slipcased Edition came out this week. That's a lot of editions.
>>152477219House of Slaughter is inconsistent in quality, and its story is kind of confusing. Its final arc will probably have some relevance to the main plot of SIKTC at some point, but it's just that somebody in the House was a high level monster, and she gets away.I would recommend reading the three one shots Book of Slaughter, Book of Butcher, and Book of Cutter. They won't take much of your time, do some good worldbuilding, and Book of Cutter especially will be relevant to the main story once it gets back into it.
>>152476848It's tame in every possible way.
>>152463312I'm confused by this series I see it so much and it gets pushed around on the internet. I assumed it was good what's the story about idc about spoilers?Also huh all the kids are gay, is......it aids killing them
>>152478526
>>152463312I don't give a shit about any of that. I was sold on the title thinking it would be some sorta extreme horror story primarily about children, and things killing them. Then the white haired anime bitch comes in and starts killing the most boring monsters imaginable and was immediately out. What a waste of a great title on a shitty, boring, CW-tier premise. >>152463453God it gets even dumber.
