“Fall of the House of Slaughter” Ushers in a New Era of Horror at BOOM! Studios

BOOM! Studios is set to unleash a seismic shift in its acclaimed SlaughterVerse with the upcoming release of Fall of the House of Slaughter, a chilling new mini-series debuting on May 6, 2026. Written by House of Slaughter scribe Tate Brombal and illustrated by Adriano Turtulici (You’ll Do Bad Things), the series promises to reshape the legacy of the secretive monster-hunting House of Slaughter.

As the enigmatic Old Dragon nears the end of his reign, the power vacuum ignites a ruthless struggle among the House’s elite. Cecilia Slaughter and the other Heads convene to choose a successor—but ambition, betrayal, and bloodshed threaten to tear the Order apart from within. With a new Dragon poised to rise, the question looms: can the House of Slaughter survive its own rebirth?

This high-stakes saga expands the mythos of James Tynion IV and Werther Dell’Edera’s Something is Killing the Children, a flagship title that has captivated horror fans since its debut. Fall of the House of Slaughter continues the tradition of dark, character-driven storytelling that has defined the SlaughterVerse, while setting the stage for a bold new chapter.

The series joins a powerhouse lineup from BOOM! Studios’ original imprint, which includes hits like BRZRKR by Keanu Reeves, Minor Arcana by Jeff Lemire, and The Graveyard Club by R.L. Stine. With Fall of the House of Slaughter, the publisher once again proves its dominance in the horror and supernatural comics space.

Fall of the House of Slaughter #1 will be available in comic shops on May 6, 2026. Fans can pre-order now at their local comic shop or purchase digital editions via iBooks, Google Play, and Kindle.
