About the author
James Tynion IV
1,642 books1,985 followersPrior to his first professional work, Tynion was a student of Scott Snyder's at Sarah Lawrence College. A few years later, he worked as for Vertigo as Fables editor Shelly Bond's intern. In late 2011, with DC deciding to give Batman (written by Snyder) a back up feature, Tynion was brought in by request of Snyder to script the back ups he had plotted. Tynion would later do the same with the Batman Annual #1, which was also co-plotted by Snyder. Beginning in September 2012, with DC's 0 issue month for the New 52, Tynion will be writing Talon, with art by Guillem March. In early 2013 it was announced that he'd take over writing duties for Red Hood and the Outlaws in April.
Tynion is also currently one of the writers in a rotating team in the weekly Batman Eternal series.

Notes: Lots of action lacking traction, all perfunctory abstractions, lots of crying, lots of kissing, but development is missing.

A very romance-y spin-off of Something is Killing the Children.
Now, I liked all the heart eyes and whatnot because I love love stories. Your mileage will vary on that point.
Was this as good as the stuff with Erica in the main title? Not for me.
But I enjoyed finding more out about the Houses, the training, the little stuffed animals filled with monster spirits, the introduction of Jace, and then (of course) Aaron himself.
It was all incredibly readable.
If you're a fan of Something is Killing the Children, I don't see how you can pass up giving this one a try.

They said Something is Killing the Children spin-off backstory but make it super queer romance and I said YES PLEASE I WOULD LIKE THAT VERY MUCH THANK YOU!
And they delivered.
Remember Aaron? Erica's handler who doesn't fare too well in the second volume? Well he's back all in one piece as a teen training for his role in The House here, which gives us a fantastic look at the legends and lore of this secret organization. But we also get to see Aaron's adventures in love as well as his adventures slaughtering monsters. And it's lovely. As a spin-off series, these are actually written by Tate Brombal and wonderfully illustrated by Chris Shehan instead of the usual team, but it's all "in the style of" what you expect (SiKtC is now a big IP I suppose, good for Tynion) and is quite a nice treat. Looking forward to reading this series as well now.
3.5/5

If Something is Killing the Children is the story of Erica Slaughter, this first arc of House of Slaughter is the story of Aaron Slaughter. Told back and forth between now and 15 years ago, this really fleshes Aaron out as a character and shows he's much more than a douche. The m/m romance was done very well and this worked extremely well as a companion piece to the 4th volume of SIKTC where we see Erica's origins. Miquel Muerto colored this as well, giving the book the "house" look of the main series.

Sooooo I wasn't expecting this to make me emotional. Honestly, I didn't know what to expect when I picked up this volume because I tried not to read too much about it. TYNION DID NOT DISAPPOINT. He never does and this definitely packed a punch.
House of Slaughter follows the story of Aaron Slaughter during his time at the House of Slaughter. It's a dual timeline where we follow him as a young student and then 15 years in the future. There is a romance between Aaron and another character that I found to be completely charming and heartwarming. Readers get to learn a lot more about the innerworkings of the House of Slaughter which I found to be interesting as well as the idea that there are more "houses" that exists outside of this one. That is a testament to how expansive this world will be. There are more characters explored that readers see in the volumes of Something is Killing the Children. The art wasn't as captivating as the artwork that we see in Something is Killing the Children, but I did think it captured the story well. One of the most difficult things about reading this volume was knowing exactly what happens to Aaron. I just couldn't swallow the romance he had knowing that he would never get that HEA. I can't wait to continue reading this series and seeing how it connects to the main series. I would highly recommend at least reading Something is Killing the Children vol. 1-3 before picking this one up.

This is a comic collection that is a spin off from the comic Something Is Killing the Children. It is a prequel to that series. In this one we visit a young Aaron as he is training to earn his teeth. We also see him afterwards when he is on the hunt. Both of these stories intertwine and we go back and forth from each timeline.
My rating might not be the fairest as I have loved the main comic run. I believe the lowest I have given for a rating is four stars. So maybe my expectations are higher than they should be. I liked this collection but it did not have an impact on me like the main series. I will say I did enjoy getting a look into Aaron and not thinking he is such a tool like I did during the main series. But I also thought we were going to get more of a look into the House. We got a little peek but I wanted more. Once again we have the same style of muted artwork. I have loved this type of artwork for the main series. I am not sure if it exactly works for this story. Granted bright bubbly art would have been wrong but I believe I would have liked a little difference between the runs.
This was a decent story and I think it might have been me more than the story. I am just expecting way too much from anything associated within this universe. I liked it but I don't think it is must read like the main story line. I will say it did leave on a cliffhanger that has peaked my interest and I will read the next collection of this spin off.

This was quite fun actually!
We get the prelude to house of slaughter her and this focuses on Aaron and we see how he meets this guy Jace, his new room-mate in his childhood and initially he resents his step-mother Jessica for this but then he starts falling in love with him and in the present we see him hunting Jace as part of his mission from Order of St George and the way the story is told and the way we bounce between present and past is so intriguing.
In the past we see what Jace childhood was and what happened to his family and his motive for entering into HOS and then falling in love with Aaron and making enemies here and there and I love the romance side of it and seeing how those two are alike and how in the present (15 years later from the past) they are battling maybe their affections for each other and what Aaron does next in the present which will change him forever..
Its a cute love story and I love the way the writer shows the similarities and difference between these characters alike and the conflicts whenever they are together and the bouncing between past and present both is awesome and makes for a smooth read plus the art is so good, I freaking love it! <3

Decent prequel
January 4, 2023
A perfectly serviceable spinoff title from Something Is Killing the Children but for me the convoluted chronology and narrative framing device of Aaron's after action report kept me from fully investing in the story. I imagine Jace will be an important character in this universe now, so I'm glad I'm up to speed on his origin story at least.
June 6, 2022
Really great prequel to Something is Killing the Children. Get a lot more time with Aaron and his first few years at the house of slaughter. Get deeper world building, cute relationship, and kind of bittersweet ending if you are currently caught up with the main series. Only negative is some of the art is a bit weaker than I'd like compared to the main series.
July 24, 2022
A fine prequel to Something is Killing the Children that focuses on the life of Aaron Slaughter. It wasn't something I particularly wanted, but it was done well and helps me get over the gap until the next book in the main series.

I picked this up thinking it was written by James Tynion but realized it is actually written by Tate Brombal who I previously enjoyed his work on Barbalien from Blackhammer's origin story. Both explored a young gay male protagonist and were pulled off well. I love the Something is Killing all the children/ House of Slaughter storylines so far. Bring in some more writers and see some different angles like the Aforementioned Blackhammer series.

James Tynion IV is on fire. Not literally, of course, thank God, because that would be quite bad for him and his career, plus the smell of burning flesh is virtually impossible to get out of carpeting.
No, I mean, figuratively, the guy is super-hot right now. He has at least four graphic novels series currently running, and they are all very different and very excellent. He is the “it” writer of comic books at the moment.
“House of Slaughter: The Butcher’s Mark” is a spin-off from Tynion’s popular series “Something is Killing the Children”. In this series, we get the backstory and current whereabouts of Aaron, Erica’s handler. Like Erica, he is one of the students at the secret school for monster-hunters. As a teenager at the school, he was assigned a roommate named Jace Boucher, a student from another—-and rival—-monster-hunting school. Like most teenaged boys, they fight and call each other names and sleep together and have sex.
Jace, it turns out, has a secret agenda. When the House of Slaughter headmasters find out, Aaron must make a decision: follow his heart or drink the school kool-aid.
Another excellent series from Tynion, one that adds more depth and, yes, heart to one of the best horror series currently running.

A spin off, but one that falls victim to every snare the main series deftly avoided, too much talk, lazy cliffhangers, and an unlikeable lead.
March 9, 2023
Me ha gustado este primer volumen. Comienza interesante, pero tengo mis dudas de si seguir está parte de la historia o no.
July 5, 2022
Honestly, this entire series and world is just so damn good that even though this didn't feel quite up to par with the first two volumes of Something is Killing the Children, it was still a very good book. And heartbreaking. Fucking HEARTBREAKING.
Tate Brombal did a good job of keeping up Tynion's high level of writing, and he did some particularly interesting stuff with this script. I especially loved the sequence that has characters in the past and present trading off lines that read as one cohesive scene.
The art was great, as always, and I truly love Aaron's character design. Something about him is just so satisfying to look at.
So glad I took a chance on this series, because I'm loving this world and all the stories within it.

A fitting companion to the (to my mind) hugely entertaining Something is Killing the Children run with (for me) a surprisingly gratifying twist at the end.
I dunno why - and maybe the magic has just worn off for me - but, of the Slaughters, I found Erica more interesting, more compelling, than Aaron, but ... what I really think the difference was is that I preferred the angle of, well, the children (and their families and the town) to the (pathologies and palace intrigue of) the hunters.
Still, nicely done, but (for me) not as engaging as my initial experience with Something is Killing the Children.

Good spin off giving unsights on the Houses and their internal struggles. I go for the love story but Aaron's internal monologues tend to be boring and snobish after a while.

The first volume of House Of Slaughter has a pall cast over it by the fact that we know how this story ends. No matter what we learn about Aaron and his past with the Slaughter House, we know that it doesn't end well for him after his appearances in the main Something Is Killing The Children book.
That's not to say you should skip this, though. It fleshes out the world of SIKTC without covering any of the same ground, and it uses some of the ideas we've already met in the parent book to different effect. It makes the world as a whole more cohesive, and in turn actually puts Erika's resistance against the House Of Slaughter in the main book into perspective.
Tynion IV's story, coupled with Tate Brombal's script, makes for a passionate and realistic character piece even while monsters stalk our heroes. It's a story of love lost and love won against all the odds, and even with the knowledge that it won't have a happy ending, the pair manage to scrape out something of a light in the darkness.
I honestly thought the artwork was from Werther Dell'Edera, who draws SIKTC, but it is in fact Chris Shehan. He's either doing a great Dell'Edera impression, or the creative team have made sure to select similar artists so that the two books feel visually consistent.
House Of Slaughter is a tragedy in five issues, but there are glimmers of hope to be had. Fans of SIKTC will find a different type of story here, but one that both stands on its own two feet, and enhances the main book as well.

2.5 stars. Read this in singles. Loved the SIKTC title so much, figured I’d try the spin-off. Bad, bad decision. This series was a waste of time. Told my LCS to cancel it from my pull list.
October 21, 2022
Aaron gets his own Something Is Killing the Children spin-off and it's...fine. You can tell that Tynion only provided story notes for this one - the dialogue can feel unnatural and the vast, time-traveling plot is harshly compressed.
Essentially, this is a love story for Aaron. A cast-off from the New Orleans chapter, Jace, arrives at the House of Slaughter and is roomed with Aaron. The two are at odds until, suddenly, they are not (the romancing here is pretty darn limited). Meanwhile, in the present, Aaron has been tasked with hunting down Jace. Why did he leave the order? Will Aaron kill his past lover? All will be revealed!
It's tough to keep track of all the time jumps, which sometimes occur multiple times within one page. We're supposed to see the parallels, but the complexity ruins the pacing. Still, the artwork is strong here and additional world-building is always appreciated (especially coming after the gloriously mythology laden volume four). Not a bad read, but not up to the standards of the main series.

Every single volume of anything attached to this universe, I instantly fall in love with. This wasn't any different. This LGBTQIA+ story was so good. It was told very well and respectfully in the realities of the horrors that are this series. Man, I highly recommend this. So masterfully drawn and written.
March 30, 2022
I loved this book. It fleshed out the world of SIKTC, and made me love Aaron as a character. The romance was very cute and well written. And it was just amazing to see a m/m romance at the center of a story like this. I felt like it was written for me specifically! I can't recommend it enough if you're a fan of SIKTC. 5/5 stars and a new favorite graphic novel.
July 2, 2024
I'd say this is just about readable as a stand alone Volume..and because of the varying quality of the other volumes..maybe it should be.
A love story essentially...set in the system of houses introduced in Something Is Killing the Children.

I did not enjoy House of Slaughter #1 waiting for #2 was not an option. Having read through House of Slaughter, Vol. 1 I think I would have given up on this after the second issue. Sitting for Volume 1 (#1 to #5) just made this a bit bearable.
In this Vol. we meet Jace Boucher, the last Legacy Hunter on American soil who is transferring from Maison De Boucher to the House of Slaughter. Upon arriving at the house, he is assigned a bed in the black mask dorm with Aaron Slaughter whilst they wait for a bed to be available in the masks dorm where he belongs. The two fall in love, an act that is forbidden at the House Of Slaughter.
Fast forward to the future, we discover Aaron is tasked by his house to hunt down and kill Jace, but the two are still in love, which makes killing Jace complicated.
In summary, this is a story about forbidden love, grief, and kicking monsters behinds.
Something Is Killing The Children, which is the main story is way better written with suspenseful moments, great cliffhangers which make you feel like pulling hairs from the roots in frustration that it's not released day yet, and amazing drawing.
House of Slaughter feels like they were trying to capitalize on the success of Something Is Killing The Children, and never lived up to the expectations, but I kinda wanna find out where Volume 2 will take the storyline and if we will see the house falling at some point.

I really enjoyed this tangent prequel to Erica’s story in SIKTC. While it expands on the lore of the House of Slaughter a bit (which I assume was Tynion’s guiding contribution), its main focus is an apparently doomed LGBT young adult romance that meaningfully characterizes Aaron from SIKTC. That love story reminded me a bit of Brombal’s other recent work in the Black Hammer side book Barbalien, but the two are different enough to be distinct. Aaron has shown up a few times in SIKTC, but this is the first time I’ve cared about him as much more than a neat looking character design. It’s a darkly colored comic that’s nice to look at, too!

I own this book.
Something about me is that I have never once hidden the fact I am an Aaron Slaughter apologist. As soon as we met him in the SIKTC volume 1 arch, I wanted more. In this book, we follow younger Aaron, insecure in his position in the House of Slaughter, bullied by his peers and when he meets Jace, a new transfer from the House of Boucher in Louisianna, they get off on the wrong foot. However, they quickly change that first negative impression and soon develop a relationship. Their love is quick and fleeting but lasting as Jace betrays the House of Slaughter and flees. Flash forward years later, Aaron is sent to kill Jace where he hides, and instead, finds that Jace has never stopped hunting monsters and is working on developing a new home and a new order. Will Aaron be able to leave behind everything he has ever known for Jace?
I know this is by the same team as SIKTC but I'm almost more excited about this book. While we do get a bit of the negative effects of the Order of St George in SIKTC, this book looks deeper at the politics of the order. I learnt more about this world and it's politics from this short volume than I've learnt in 4 volumes of SIKTC and I can't wait to see what is next.
