Christopher Chaos' Oddly Pedestrian Life Gets Monsters In Love Backup

The Oddly Pedestrian Life of Christopher Chaos: Children of the Night #1 gets a new backup feature, Monsters in Love

The Oddly Pedestrian Life of Christopher Chaos: Children of the Night #1 by James Tynion IV, Tate Brombal, and Isaac Goodhart returns this June with a new story arc, Children of the Night. In time for Final Order Cut-Off or FOC this weekend, Dark Horse has announced 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 the comic book series star 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.

"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 about his story. "A steamy beach romance with an immortal creature of the night, what could go wrong?"

"With Monsters In Love, we're excited to bring Christopher Chaos' favorite comic book to life," added Tynion. "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."
