"Something is Killing the Children," and "Swamp Thing," Crossover Announced

Well, here's something I didn't have on my bingo card! It is another inter-publisher crossover, this time between BOOM! and DC. As revealed at New York Comic-Con, we are going to be getting, "Swamp Thing is Killing the Children," in a clever tale where Erica Slaughter goes toe-to-toe with Swamp Thing under the suspicion he's a kiddo-killing monster. SIKTC creators (writer) James Tynion IV and (artist) Werther Dell’Edera will be bringing us the crossover, which has most details under wraps except for the title (it really is a clever title) and the creative team. I'd imagine it will release in 2026 with more details revealed as 2025 winds down.

"Something is Killing the Children," Shall Be a Netflix Show

"Something is Killing the Children," has been a major hit comic and is probably the most popular series from BOOM! Studios (although they've had a number of great titles). It would have some news about an option on occasion but little would come from it. Well, Netflix has made it clear they're interested in making a show as, "Netflix has commissioned Baran Bo Adar and Jante Friese, acclaimed creators of Dark and 1899, to develop a TV series adaptation," of SIKTC. The comic's creative team James Tynion IV and Werther Dell’Edera will be co-executive producing. Assuming the show gets made this could be a hit as folks love horror series lately. Whether it can keep going as lots of streamers seem to give shows just a season or two before canceling them will remain to be seen. At least we might get a good 8-13 episodes or so based on the comic, though. That might be fun.
