It was previously announced that the 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. But on top of that new arc, each issue will also include a special 8-page flip-book backup story called Monsters in Love!
Bradley Clayton wrote and illustrated the first issue’s story, which was lettered by Aditya Bidikar (Dawnrunner).
“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. “A steamy beach romance with an immortal creature of the night, what could go wrong?”
Stories by Chloe Brailsford, Marie Enger, and K Czap will be 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.
Check out the cover art below, illustrated by V. Gagnon:
“With Monsters in Love, we’re excited to bring Christopher Chaos’ favorite comic book to life,” added The Oddly Pedestrian Life of Christopher Chaos writer James Tynion IV. “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.”
Read the full synopsis for The Oddly Pedestrian Life of Christopher Chaos: Children of the Night below:
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 is the creation of Tynion (Something is Killing the Children), Tate Brombal (House of Slaughter), and Isaac Goodhart (Constantine: Distorted Illusions).
The Oddly Pedestrian Life of Christopher Chaos: Children of the Night #1 (of 4) arrives in comic shops on June 18, 2025. It’s now available for pre-order from your local comic shop for $4.99.
