DC and BOOM! teamed up for one of the most anticipated crossovers this year, SWAMP THING IS KILLING THE CHILDREN #1. In a world where the fears of children manifest into living, breathing monsters, this crossover brings one of horror’s most iconic characters straight into the Slaughterverse. We are extending the production timeline to accommodate the extraordinary demand while preserving the intended premium quality of the highly anticipated deluxe one-shot. With creative work already complete, the crossover will now arrive in comic shops on February 24, 2027. In anticipation of its release, BOOM! is thrilled to reveal a first look at the issue.

Bringing to life “a beautiful blend of superhero and horror that works perfectly” (Capes & Tights), the assiduous work of New York Times–bestselling author James Tynion IV and Eisner Award-winning artist Werther Dell’Edera, the superstar team behind the smash hit Something is Killing the Children, push the boundaries for the very first crossover story ever told in the fan-favorite Slaughterverse.

Two siblings who are life-long comics fans find their way to horror comics, in spite of the fears they inspire.

As the terrifying visions from the pages of the comics start to come to life, Erica Slaughter will have to hunt down one of horror’s most recognizable figures—Swamp Thing himself!

SWAMP THING IS KILLING THE CHILDREN #1 will launch in comic shops on February 24, 2027. Digital copies can be purchased from content providers, including iBooks, Google Play, and Kindle.
