Book Synopsis



From the multi-Eisner award-winning creator of Something is Killing the Children, Batgirl's Tate Brombal, and artist Isaac Goodhart comes this deluxe, oversized hardcover library edition of the hit GLAAD Media award-nominated comics series.

An LGBTQ+ horror-hero coming-of-age story, that's Invincible meets Doom Patrol!

Meet teenage mad scientist Christopher Chaos. For all his life he knew he was different. His brilliant mind works in ways that defy logic and enable him to do things that push him beyond his peers. Unfortunately, these abilities have also caused great pain in his personal life--leading others to fear him and leaving Christopher with profound loneliness and guilt. Then one day something cracked. When the cute boy at high school turns out to be a deadly creature, Christopher finds himself in a world of monsters, heroes, and a cult of hunters out to kill them all.

As Christopher discovers the history of Monsterkind, he learns isn't so alone in the world after all. As he makes friends and enemies, he uncovers secrets that lead him deeper into his own unknown past...secrets that keep the mad scientist inside of him questioning everything around him!

Collects the first two arcs of The Oddly Pedestrian Life of Christopher Chaos as well as the prologue, The Oddly Pedestrian Life of Christopher Chaos Halloween Special one-shot, a four page mini comic, cover gallery, and sketchbook section in a deluxe, oversized, library edition format.

Tiny Onion Studios and Dark Horse Comics present a line of upcoming creator-owned work from the mind of James Tynion IV across a broad spectrum of his interests, from non-fiction supernatural encounters to high concept coming-of-age monster comics.



Review Quotes




Praise for The Oddly Pedestrian Life of Christopher Chaos

"The first issue is a perfect setup for a horror comic that struggles with the loneliness of feeling like an outsider."--Fangoria

"Full of detail, life, death, and, at times, whimsy. It's a book about growing up, taking chances, love, loss, mortality, and morality."--The Convention Collective

"Simply put, this is the type of book that will remind you why you check out new monthly comics. The idea is clever and odd, the execution equally so, and the visuals fantastic, with clean and polished linework complimented perfectly by the letters and colors."--Comics Beat

"The Oddly Pedestrian Life of Christopher Chaos #1 stands tall as an engaging opening to a story rife with whimsy and charm. It contains enough narrative richness within its moments of open table setting to act as both an excellent standalone tale, as well as the first chapter in an expectedly great series."--Comic Watch

"The weird mixture of horror, science fiction, and coming-of-age drama somehow works together beautifully. The horror elements are genuinely scary, the science fiction elements are interesting and thought-provoking, and the coming-of-age drama is touching and relatable."--Capes & Tights
