The Popverse coverage of the ComicsPRO Annual Meeting 2026 is brought to you by Lunar Distribution. Commited to Retailers. Focused on the Future of Comics.

If you go to any major comics convention in the United States, chances are you'll see at least one Something is Killing the Children bandana worn by another attendee. (That attendee might even be me in my azure mask.) But as the road to the Something is Killing the Children animated TV show and live-action movie heats up, you are likely going to start seeng even more of them... and more House of Slaughter-inspired items in general. In fact, you'll be pleased to know that writer James Tynion IV's studio, Tiny Onion, has plans for a SIKTC merch line. 

Already, Shop Tiny Onion has some SIKTC offerings, like enamel pins, t-shirts featuring some of the series' killer character designs, and of course, bandanas in almost every color from the SIKTC universe. But! We all could use a little more monster-hunting merch in our lives, right?

At ComicsPro 2026, Tiny Onion announced their plans to expand the current line of SIKTC merch on the Shop Tiny Onion website. At the moment, we don't know what that'll look like, but can I request a replica of Aaron Slaughter's cane, please? Or a plushie or two?

There's also the time-honored tradition within comic book fandom of owning giant statues of your favorite characters. Since Ms. Erica Slaughter has fought plenty of horrifying monsters over the years and lived to tell the tale, why not enshrine her greatest battles through a statue or two? Listen, I can't have the statue of Guts from Berserk feeling lonely in a corner of my house. He needs another traumatized monster-hunting friend!

Anyways, keep your eyes peeled in the coming months for any Shop Tiny Onion merch drops.
