While some people never want Summer to end, we’re counting down the days until Halloween… so we’re thrilled to share first details on the upcoming Christopher Chaos Halloween Special! With stories by James Tynion IV, Tate Brombal, Soo Lee, Nick Robles, Phil Jimenez, Isaac Goodhart, and Morgan Beem, Dark Horse Comics and Tiny Onion Studios teamed up for The Oddly Pedestrian Life of Christopher Chaos: Halloween Special, a “fantastically frightful 48-page one-shot issue featuring five short comics that celebrate the world of Christopher Chaos.”
James Tynion IV and Isaac Goodhart tell a story of family and loss featuring the characters Adam Frankenstein and Viveka. Tate Brombal and Phil Jimenez introduce a wild new monster far above the Arctic Circle. Back in Briar City, Brombal is joined by Morgan Beem (Crashing, Swamp Thing: Twin Branches) for a sweet and spooky story of young Christopher during a Halloween long past. And finally, Soo Lee (Carmilla: The First Vampire) and Nick Robles (Sandman Universe—The Dreaming: Waking Hours) both write and draw their own bewitching stories that will leave you breathless and terrified for All Hallow’s Eve!
Here’s what a few members of the creative team say about the upcoming Halloween Special:
“My All Hallows Eve dreams (nightmares?) are coming true with our first ever Christopher Chaos Halloween Special! Not only are we assembling our full Monster Club of incredible creators, we’re also expanding the Chaos-verse while spotlighting characters in stories that wouldn’t otherwise fit into our main series! In classic Chaos fashion, get ready to scream, cry, and coo your way through this monstrous collection of spooky tales.” –Tate Brombal
“My eight-page short with James was born out of late-night conversations we had on the road promoting Christopher Chaos issue 1. It’s very certainly the most personal and best story I’ve ever worked on and I’m so proud I got to tell it with my friend!” -Isaac Goodhart
“My story in this amazing anthology is just a small taste of one of the most interesting characters in the Christopher Chaos universe. A tale of transformation for Jordi in more ways than one!” -Soo Lee
The Oddly Pedestrian Life of Christopher Chaos: Halloween Special comes in at 48 pages and will be available in comic book stores on October 2nd. It is now available to pre-order for $6.99, and will have two covers: one by David Talaski and a variant cover by Jeff Lemire. Check them both out below!
