James Tynion IV, Tate Brombal, and Isaac Goodhart’s hit LGBTQ+ horror coming-of-age series The Oddly Pedestrian Life of Christopher Chaos returns this June with a new terrifying story arc, Children of the Night. Dark Horse can now announce that 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, 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.

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!

The Oddly Pedestrian Life of Christopher Chaos: Children of the Night #1 (of 4) arrives in comic shops on June 18, 2025 and is now available for pre-order from your local comic shop for $4.99.
