Something is Killing the Children Vol. 3 by James Tynion IV, Werther Dell'Edera

​I was kind of into book one and fairly indifferent to book two, so it seems my expectations were perfectly adjusted for book three, in a way. It was ok and I was ok with it, it didn’t wow and not every book ought to. It entertained quite sufficiently as presented.
This series, despite what the awards and acclaim say, isn’t the latest word in scary comics. It’s a word. A decent enough of a word, something like Boo.
The concept is very, very, terribly familiar. There are monsters out there, carnivorous and terrifying and only kids can see them. Well, kids and this special group of monster hunting killers. One of them peels away on a solo mission and finds herself defending the citizens of a small town where a monster momma and monster babies have recently materialized into a hungry existence.
So it’s about this kickass young woman monster slayer. She knows someone’s killing the children and intends to do something about it. Yey.
It’s fairly well drawn, reasonably well written. Yes, not the most original thing out there, but decent enough overall. The best thing about it is how dynamic it is. Action scene after action scene, not too many words, goes by very, very quickly. I’m not hugely invested in where it goes next, but would most likely read the next volume if our library continues to acquire them. Short and entertaining is perfectly good in its own way.
