The Oddly Pedestrian Life of Christopher Chaos #1

There's something electric — literally — about this opener from Dark Horse: the cover by Nick Robles places Christopher Chaos, blue-haired and goggle-crowned in a vivid yellow jacket, at the center of a crackling lightning aura while a crowd of ordinary bystanders surrounds him in muted tones, visually underlining the series' central tension between the extraordinary and the everyday. Tate Brombal, Isaac Goodhart, Miquel Muerto, and Aditya Bidikar make up a sharp creative team for what promises to be a fresh, character-driven superhero story. If the cover's moody contrast between a colorful, wide-eyed protagonist and the grey world pressing in around him is any indication, this 2023 series has a distinct and compelling visual identity right out of the gate.
