Boom Studios Bets Big on Blind Bags for SIKTC #50, Unleashes Hellraiser Barrage

Boom Studios is pulling a wild card for September 2026, dropping a massive bombshell: Something Is Killing The Children #50 will hit comic shops in a blind bag. This isn't a convention exclusive; this is a direct market first for the publisher. Fans better prepare for the scramble to get this milestone issue.

James Tynion IV and Werther Dell'Edra continue their Eisner-winning horror saga. Erica Slaughter, fresh off the horrifying Tribulation saga, is a wreck. She’s on the run, seeking refuge in the Valmont Mountain Lodge—a place tied to her formative years. What secrets and horrors will she unearth there? Issue #50 promises to be a pivotal moment for the series.

But the surprises don't stop there. Clive Barker's Hellraiser franchise makes a long-awaited, bloody return to comics. Boom is unleashing a barrage of Hellraiser one-shots, each diving deep into the mythology of the Cenobites. Mike Costa, Zac Thompson, Tini Howard, Nero Villagallos O'Reilly, and Sarah Gailey lead an all-star cast of creators. Expect new tales of ecstasy and agony, revisiting iconic characters like Pinhead, The Chatterer, the Female Cenobite, and Butterball. It's a true feast for horror fiends, promising to twist and delight.
