The Oddly Pedestrian Life of Christopher Chaos Vol. 1 arrives Spring 2024

Posted on by

The hit genre-bending horror series, The Oddly Pedestrian Life of Christopher Chaos, hits the bookstores in 2024 with a new paperback collection! Based on an idea by James Tynion IV, Christopher Chaos was written by Tate Brombal, illustrated by Isaac Goodhart, colored by Miquel Muerto, and lettered by Aditya Bidikar. This first volume will collect issues #1-6 of the horror/science fiction/coming-of-age/LGBTQ-positive series, and will include a cover gallery including work from artists like Phil Jimenez, Nick Robles, Fábio Moon, and others, alongside a sketchbook section.

In Volume 1, 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 pitted in a world of monsters, heroes, and a cult of hunters out to kill them all.

The Oddly Pedestrian Life of Christopher Chaos Volume 1 TPB will be available in bookstores May 21, 2024 and in comic shops May 22, 2024. It is now available to pre-order for $24.99 at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and your local comic shop and indie bookstore.

SDCC 2023: Scott Hoffman (aka Babydaddy of the Scissor Sisters) and Artist Juan Bobillo Announce Wag

Posted on by

Following the success of his debut comic book series Nostalgia, writer Scott Hoffman (aka Babydaddy of the multi-platinum selling band Scissor Sisters) tackles his next comic book series Wag, a neurodivergent futuristic adventure through a post-apocalyptic world. The news was announced at his panel: Music and Comics Collide, moderated by friend and fellow creator Phil Jimenez at Comic-Con International: San Diego. Featuring captivating art by Juan Bobillo, letters by Steve Wands, with covers and design by Rian Hughes, Wag will be released monthly beginning with issue #1 (of 5) on September 5, 2023 from Amazon’s Comixology Originals exclusive digital content line.

Wag, a loner in a post-apocalyptic world, hears voices in his head. Could it be some kind of implant from the days before everything collapsed, or has he been slowly losing his mind ever since the pills ran out?  With the aid of an ever-growing band of oddballs, Wag sets out on a quest to discover the source of his troubles – confronting strange and deadly enemies along the way.
