Wednesday is obviously the best weekday because it's new comic book day! It's always the highlight of my week to head to my local comic book shop, and I'm especially excited for next week, when I'm able to pick up the first issue of The Oddly Pedestrian Life of Christopher Chaos: Children of the Night. From James Tynion IV, Tate Brombal, Isaac Goodhart, Miquel Muerto, and Aditya Bidikar, the latest Christopher Chaos story arc sees a new monster arrive in New Briar City with a mysterious hunter on his trail. Ahead of the first issue arriving in comic book shops on June 18th, we have an exclusive preview that Daily Dead readers can check out right now!
From the Press Release: "Dark Horse Comics and Tiny Onion present The Oddly Pedestrian Life of Christopher Chaos: Children of the Night, a new story arc in the hit LGBTQ+ horror-hero coming-of-age series from New York Times bestselling and multi-Eisner Award-winning writers James Tynion IV (Something is Killing the Children, The Nice House by the Sea) and Tate Brombal (House of Slaughter, Batgirl) and illustrator Isaac Goodhart (The Oddly Pedestrian Life of Christopher Chaos, Constantine: Distorted Illusions).

About The Oddly Pedestrian Life of Christopher Chaos: Children of the Night:
A new school year begins for Christopher Chaos and his friends as he finds himself divided from his mentor, Adam Frankenstein, and searching for answers outside of any textbook. But when a dangerous new monster arrives in New Briar City with a mysterious hunter on his trail, a strange case develops that only Christopher can solve! Will the Monster Club survive their latest foe, or will they be torn apart--piece by bloody piece? This issue introduces the Chaosverse’s Dr. Henry Jekyll and a brand-new monster hunter known only as Helbound!"

"[...] each issue of Children of the Night will also feature a special 8-page flip-book backup story called “Monsters in Love.” The first issue’s story will be written and illustrated by Bradley Clayton and lettered by Aditya Bidikar (Dawnrunner, Blue Book), with stories by Chloe Brailsford, Marie Enger, and K Czap featured in future issues. Each story is a standalone story blending horror and romance in the style of classic EC comic anthologies, from the in-universe comic read by our hero Christopher Chaos. Along with covers by Noah Dao, Gabriel Hernández Walta, Michael Dialynas, and Sweeney Boo, issue #1 also includes back cover art illustrated by V. Gagnon."
"I set out to combine the things I love best about vampires and romantic comedies to create the star-crossed lovers in my MONSTERS IN LOVE story,” said Clayton about his story. “A steamy beach romance with an immortal creature of the night, what could go wrong?"
“With MONSTERS IN LOVE, we're excited to bring Christopher Chaos' favorite comic book to life,” added Tynion. “These stories are an excuse to give my favorite story prompt I've ever given creators - Romance stories starring your favorite horror monsters. I can't wait for everyone to see what we have in store for you."
