Comic Crypt: BOOM! COMICS OUT MAY 18 – House of Slaughter #6 / Angel #5
House of Slaughter #6
NEW CREATIVE TEAM. NEW STORY ARC. Edwin Slaughter is one of the Scarlet Masks, the secret bookkeepers of the Order of St. George. He’s enamored with stories of ancient hunters, as well as those in his midst. He only gets to write the stories and never live them himself though. That is, until what starts out as standard reconnaissance for the Order turns Edwin’s world upside down. There’s a legendary monster in America, one long thought extinct… It’s taken the lives of countless children, bringing Edwin into the field for the first time… and into real danger. Along with a new story arc comes a new creative team! Acclaimed writer Sam Johns of Punchline and The Joker fame joins James Tynion IV as co-writer, and up-and-coming artist Letizia Cadonici makes her highly-anticipated American comics debut, joined by series veteran Werther Dell’Edera as co-artist!










Angel #5
In this Spike-centric story, Spike is just fine not being the hero Angel is, but when Wesley makes yet another sacrifice for him, Spike goes on a mission to save his life. Meanwhile, Angel realizes there might be a sinister version of himself running around—and a new movie role outside of Los Angeles on the horizon…
