Status Updates From Something is Killing the Ch...

Also adding Simone De Meo's alternate cover just because Erika and it looks feral. I really like it, it looks like she's the monster. By putting the composition with the viewers eye level from below, slightly obscured by what looks like a bush, I can still illusion that the viewers hiding. And that say hunting. Her golden eye is the focal point of the piece, looking over the audience's head like she is just missing u

This cover by Jeff DeKal, while more sexualized and make gazy, has a good use of movement and contrast. I really like the composition, but mostly because it reminds me of Buffy.

Of the multiple depictions we've seen of Ericka Slaughter in these alternative covers at the end, I sing Jenny Frison's is my favorite. It shows a respect for the character that her male peers artwork struggled with. It's got a beautiful composition with a good movement through the artwork. And by using mostly in green tones, it really makes the reds to use to encircle the character and blood POP.

Damn, I thought he'd buy a little bit more time though. 😬

He really was a good guy in the end. It was around about way of doing it, but he tried the shelter Erika from The Order so that she could save as many people as possible. He knew The Orders way of doing things cost lives. Children's lives.

And now the last way he can help Erica is to sacrifice himself to buy her time. In a way the same thing he has always done.

Poor Tommy, he's seen so much death. He probably really should have left when Erika told him back at the hospital. He's been unable to save any of the children he's tried to save. That's a heavy weight. One he may never be able to get over.

Like I said, he's not bad guy.
He tried so hard to protect those kids, and even he couldn't the grief was so overwhelming that he begged for it to just end his life.

"I'VE BEEN HANDING THEM OUT. NOTHING LIKE A BACKPACK BEER WHEN THERE'S SOME FUCKED-UP SHIT YOU NEED TO LOOK AT."

You know,,, he might have a point.

1. The woman who saved Erika was a 12, girl damn. 🔥🥵🌶

2. Baby Erika was a bada** even back then. Atta girl.

He just reminded you of how you used the boy ad camouflage to hide your scent long enough to find the nest in the first vlm. What, did that suddenly make the kid's life less important.

I really didn't expect Erika to follow it up with putting the boy in harms way again.

"STOP GIVING ME THAT LOOK LIKE I'M THE VILLAIN. LIKE YOU WEREN'T DRAGGING THE BOY AROUND IN THE WOODS WITH YOU TO MASK YOUR SCENT SO YOU COULD GET CLOSE TO THE MOTHER.

WE'RE NOT HEROES. WE'RE HUNTERS. DON'T FORGET THAT."

1st. "I know more than you THINK I know, but I'll grant you that I know less than I think I know."

2nd. Erica puts protecting these kids first bc she was. She can connect with them in a way the order can't. To the order they're just victims, bodies, and bait.

Damn, pre-teen Erica Slaughter was downright botched. It's giving Sméagol.

It's been a while since I continued this story, so I had forgotten stone of my theories from the last volume.

I just remembered that I thought that kid was a monster baby, and I still think do.

(really hope I'm wrong though)

Tony is a fkn d**b**g. He acts jst like every other privileged wht man.

He shot a kid and insteadof takin accountability says, u wld have done the same. Talkn about what he's owed, calling her a Btch.
A lot of the same language yng women r use to hearing. But he's not rly a bad guy, and that's what I rly enjoy. He's an average guy.

I appreciate that she's nt takn his sht, and in a way protectn him.

We love non-homophobic male friend groups.
(And yet it still feel uncomfortable, like homophobia might be hiding in the cracks. Maybe it's just the art style.) -7pg

"I should have hit you harder, then. "

While I don't fk with this art style, I love any close-up of her eyes. -11pg
