The Oddly Pedestrian Life of Christopher Chaos Library Edition Volume 1

From Eisner-winning creator James Tynion IV, with writer Tate Brombal and artist Isaac Goodhart, The Oddly Pedestrian Life of Christopher Chaos Library Edition Volume 1 is a deluxe oversized hardcover collecting the first two arcs of the acclaimed series, plus the prologue, a Halloween Special, a four-page mini comic, a cover gallery, and a sketchbook. This LGBTQ+ horror-hero coming-of-age tale follows Christopher Chaos, a teenage mad scientist whose genius sets him apart and isolates him from his peers. When a cute high-school crush turns out to be a deadly creature, Christopher tumbles into a world of monsters, heroes, and hunters, and learns that Monsterkind holds secrets about his own past. The series blends Invincible-like scale with Doom Patrol's idiosyncratic weirdness, exploring belonging, identity, and the costs of power, with lush art by Isaac Goodhart.
