Something is Killing the Children is the story of a small town suffering from a monster attack, and the girl hunting said monster. This is a fairly standard premise but it does a decent enough job with it. Honestly I wasn't really blown away by any aspect of it. The artwork is nice and there are some creepy moments which are illustrated well but it was a little too scratchy for me at times. This is only the first volume so the story is fairly cookie cutter, although there are some cool elements I suspect will expand and improve the plot later on. The characters were decent enough but again, nothing really stood out about them (except the stuffed octopus). I really wish I could give this graphic novel more glowing praise but alas, it just didn't show me anything new.
