It’s a book about growing up, taking chances, love, loss, mortality, and morality.”—The Convention Collective "Simply put, this is the type of book that will remind you why you check out new monthly comics. The idea is clever and odd, the execution equally so, and the visuals fantastic, with clean and polished linework complemented perfectly by the letters and colors."—Comics Beat "The Oddly Pedestrian Life of Christopher Chaos #1 stands tall as an engaging opening to a story rife with whimsy and charm. It contains enough narrative richness within its moments of open table setting to act as both an excellent standalone tale, as well as the first chapter in an expectedly great series."—Comic Watch "The weird mixture of horror, science fiction, and coming-of-age drama somehow works together beautifully. The horror elements are genuinely scary, the science-fiction elements are interesting and thought provoking, and the coming-of-age drama is touching and relatable."—Capes & Tights
