I was told to read this universe and Nice House. I read Nice House and wasn't impressed. As such, I am going to storytime this until I decide that it isn't worth my time. Hopefully it'll be better than Nice House.
Did they ever find out what's killing the children? I hate unfinished stories
>>153694221The comic is still going, it isn't unfinished. I have never read any of this.
>>153694016>highly praised indie series>it sucks
>>153694016It's a great premise and the first two arcs are pretty decent, leading to an interesting cliffhanger where she's declared persona non grata by the Order and has her ability to see monsters compromised. It had everything going for it...... then for seemingly no reason the author decided to do nothing but prequel shit and hiatuses for the last like three or four years.
>>153694136kids going missing every DAY?for two WEEKS?the fuck are they still going to school for?
>>153694324oh so she's just pretending to talk on the phone, then
>>153694016based. ive always liked SIKTC even storytimed it myself once or twice >Nice House.hear good things but never read it
>>153694221something
>>153694580cant agree more the first two arcs would make a decent show
>>153695186And there it is. I remember the last time some Anon recommended this, called it a "fun" book
>>153695037I thought she said they only ate people who could see them here >>153694518
>>153694016>I was told to read this universe and Nice House. I read Nice House and wasn't impressed. As such, I am going to storytime this until I decide that it isn't worth my time. Hopefully it'll be better than Nice House.i cant fathom what kind of retard would tell you to read either of these comics, theyre both fucking awful. that's not just an op[inion. its basically common knowledge, it starts out fun and edgy and then devolves into ego wank and awful plot pacing. (both nice house nice lake and this)
>>153694390>MY CHILDREN ARE DEEEEEAAAAAAD!
>>153694016I'll read it OP, thanks.
Maybe more tomorrow.
>>153695186gawd dayum!
Tynion is such a slave to decompressionThis is a perfect premise for short 2, 3 issue arcs but he just cannot stop sucking his own dick with big long 12 issue borefests
>>153695220Tynion clearly regrets killing him off so hard like holy shit lmaoI know he envisioned SIKTC originally as a miniseries but you can tell by how badly he tries to milk Aaron as much as possible after this>>153694580I'm sort of willing to bet the reason why Blumhouse is doing both a movie and an animated series is to have the movie be Archer's Peak and the show start of as a prequel with the flashback arcs
>>153694016nothing happens the comic. it just screams "pleaseeee make this a tv show, i just want a career in hollywood". and the art is shit too.
>>153695956YEAH, it feels like it trying its hardest (or did and was) to get the umbrella academy treatment. although i did like the comic when i read it when i was like 12
This is the most retarded shit I read in a long time.
>>153695302They primarily prey on kids but if they're hungry and an adult is in their way, they'll make due like how cows make due with baby birds
>>153695693Liefeld kind of glazes them a little, but only because he knows that they're selling well. Apparently, Tynion sells well, but I don't think he's actually read them.
This was garbage. Is Nice House this bad?
>>153695656pretty grass and trees here
I finally finished and this is it for me. Sorry to anyone that liked this that wanted more.
>>153694221>Did they ever find out what's killing the children?The game.
>>153696052>like how cows make due with baby birdsim sorry WHAT?!
i want to put my SLAUGHTER inside of Ericaif you catch my drift
>>153699205The vast majority of large herbivores will consume small animals from time to time for the calcium. They don't hunt them down or anything, but baby birds are a frequent target of these activities
>>153699378Shut the fuck up John I know it's you posting this
I liked it. Thanks, OP. I was gonna read more but anons are saying it's mostly prequelshit which I loathe.
It was nice, but the worldbuilding is wack.Like aparently these monsters are showing up town to town enough that Erica is rushed from place to place, and not only has this conspiracy been hidden from everyone but the people in charge are a group of like hundred guys two of which drop dead from normal gunfire.I expect better illumanti members for how big of a conspiracy they are keeping under wraps.
>>153699704What's your beef with prequels?
That was amazing! Thank you Anon
>>153695557What I appreciate about Erika is how she talks to the kids. She doesn't dick around. Just like "Is everyone dead?" "Yeah." "That sucks." "Yeah." Her whole thing is basically being brutally honest while everyone else fucks around with lies and deception.>>153695672One of my favorite things about this comic is how fucking feral she looks sometimes.
>>153694101Contemplate the odour
>>153700680nta but I don't really want to spend a lot of time learning about and caring about a character that I know dies in pointless and silly way
Storytime bump
>>153699378
bump to read later
>>153700680Not himIn the case of SIKTC, it kind of put a screeching halt to the plot especially after a drastic cliffhanger
why does every character have to be gay
>>153708469they're not and you have object permanence issues
>>153708469Choice
>>153700680I have a bad run with prequels. I can't think of too many I enjoy and honestly if I like a character/world it's enough to just see their straight forward story played out.
>>153699728Most people can't see the monsters, makes it easier to hide.
>>153699704It varies. It does like a prequel arc, then a modern day arc, right now it's another prequel where we see erikas mentor and her time as a trainee and her and Erika going back years later to the same placeI do def like the modern day stuff more but the spin offs take place now
>>153694518So monsters are tulpas?
>>153711405Yeah pretty muchTynion did tulpas in the Department of Truth as well
>>153711427>Inb4 they are in the same universe and siktc ends with the dot coming in abd stopping the conspiracy of a monster hunting group founded by st george
>>153695186man those secrets huh
>>153695220He seemed like such a cool guy in the build up
>>153694122I don't understand the logic of antagonizing someone you think ks a mass murderer
>>153711360How have they kept this secret worldwide since the dawn of man though.Across every single culture.When all it takes to spawn one is a whisper campain of a hundred kids.
>>153713876Because they are rich people who buy silence using the wealth from the dragons hoard and the only people who can say otherwise are kids, who you could say are making things up so they don't have to accept that a human killed their family/friends.
>>153713876Because if people think of talking they send in someone like cutter. Who just kills literally everyone who was a witness.
>>153699205>>153699477Mice too, deer will happily munch on one if they get a chance.
i cant believe some of you were comparing this trash to bleach
>>153714736>>153714747You don't understand the scale of the conspiracy.They were able to keep this secret, in the America's before Columbus sailed the ocean blue. They did it through the fail of the Roman Empire? They were waltzing across Europe to kill people during WWI and WWII? They have a team that was able to keep things under control when Qing Empire collapsed.
>>153715306Bleach is even worse trash thougheverasobeitassuch
>>153715840fuck you faggot
>>153699728Other books expand it to being whole guilds that each region/country have and are hyper competive with each other for power. America alone has 3 or more.Its still pretty weak if you try to think on it.
>>153699728It's not just hundreds of people that's just who works at the slaughter branch.
>>153699092You piece of shit. I just lost.
