When Dark Horse Comics announced the new series The Oddly Pedestrian Life of Christopher Chaos by James Tynion IV and Tate Brombal, they thought it would be big. However, even they didn’t expect the series to explode the way it did. In no time after its Final Order Cutoff on Monday, the demand for it has required a second printing with a new cover. In addition, due to the overwhelming fan support, it will be promoted to an ongoing series.
Now, thanks to the good folks at Dark Horse, we are proud to present this EXCLUSIVE reveal for the new Nick Robles 2nd print cover along with their press release, announcing the big news:

“It’s extremely exciting news to me to see the first issue sell out so early!” said Senior Editor, Daniel Chabon. “I see Christopher Chaos joining the ranks of Dark Horse’s other long-running creator-owned series like Black Hammer, Hellboy, The Umbrella Academy, and more. I am super proud of the creative team, and I hope to see this continue as far as we can take it.

“James and I developed an entire world and history for Christopher Chaos that is filled with monsters and mad science going back centuries… Now, due to such an overwhelming response from readers, we have the expanded scope necessary to explore it in its entirety! Thank you so much to everyone that’s supported this odd book and get ready to spend the next few years alongside Christopher and the monsters he picks up along the way,” said Tate Brombal.

The Oddly Pedestrian Life of Christopher Chaos #1 arrives in comic shops June 21, 2023, just in time for Pride Month, with covers by Nick Robles, David Talaski, and Isaac Goodhart. The second printing variant will be available July 26, 2023.
Praise for The Oddly Pedestrian Life of Christopher Chaos:
“Christopher Chaos, much like Brombal’s prior Barbalien (also lettered by the ever-excellent Aditya Bidikar), is a book steeped in the experience of being queer. It is about being the absolutely neurotic, anxious mess of a queer teenager. An experience we can all understand and relate to. Only it, y’know, has more Werewolves, Frankensteins, and crazy Cult Cops Of Complicity that want to help enforce the normalcy of the world.”—Comic Book Herald
