In this podcast we dive into the drunk history of comic book characters while we guzzle more beers and attempt to tell the glorious origins of incredible characters. In this podcast where we dive into the gritty, heroic, and horrifying world of Erica Slaughter while sipping on some cold brews. I’m TazAlGhul, and with me is my trusty co-host ... well ... we'll call her Just Abby for now. 🔍 **Erica’s Origin:** At just 12 years old, Erica witnessed a monster massacre her best friend, Becca, and later her parents. She fought back but couldn’t kill the beast. Jessica Slaughter, a seasoned monster hunter from The Order of St. George, saved Erica and trapped the monster inside her stuffed animal, Octo. Jessica took Erica under her wing, training her at The House of Slaughter despite initial resistance from the Order. 📖 **First Appearance:** Erica first appeared in *Something is Killing the Children #1*, created by James Tynion IV and Werther Dell’Edera. Her journey is intense and thrilling! 🛡️ **The Angel of Archer’s Peak:** One of Erica’s major story arcs. She faced a monstrous Oscuratype, protecting the lone survivor, James, and gaining an ally in Tommy. Her resilience and bravery shone through, even as she faced the Order’s ruthless tactics. 🎯 **A Game of Nowhere:** With the Order closing in, Erica used Octo’s powers to lure and slay monsters. She confronted the head of the House of Slaughter, The Old Dragon, and set out on her own path, undeterred by threats. 🌵 **The Road to Tribulation:** Erica investigated a gruesome murder in New Mexico with only one survivor, Gabi. She teamed up with Gabi’s guardian, Riqui, to fight a new monster, the duplicitype. Despite betrayals and brutal battles, Erica’s mission continued. 🔥 **Showdown with Cutter:** Erica faced Cutter, a British member of the Order sent to eliminate her. After a series of brutal encounters and betrayals, Erica ultimately killed Cutter and dealt with the duplicitype, though at a great personal cost. **TazAlGhul:** And that’s the incredible, bone-chilling journey of Erica Slaughter!
