Media Release -- BOOM! Studios today revealed a first look at BOOK OF BUTCHER #1. The award-winning, bestselling creative team of James Tynion IV and Werther Dell'Edera, along with colorist Miquel Muerto (Something is Killing the Children), letterer AndWorld Design (Nightwing), and special guests Tate Brombal, Antonio Fuso, Chris Shehan, and Letizia Cadonici set the stage for Year Five of the Slaughterverse with this special issue in December 2023.
