About<\/b> The Perfectly Monstrous Life of Adam Frankenstein<\/i><\/b>:<\/b><\/p>\n

The Perfectly Monstrous Life of Adam Frankenstein<\/i> reveals the origins of Adam\u2019s horrific creation under the knives of Victor Frankenstein.

Adam Frankenstein must become a protector for all Monsterkind . . . His immortal mission begins here!<\/p>\n

\u201cMary Shelley’s Frankenstein<\/i> is one of my favorite novels, so to have this opportunity to adapt her groundbreaking story with our own Christopher Chaos<\/i> twist is monumental for me,\u201d said Brombal. \u201cThis is one of the most personal comics I’ve ever written and to do it alongside Soo, Patricio, Aditya, and the entire Tiny Onion crew just feels incredible. It’s tragic, surprising, and full of heart. This Frankenstein<\/i> is familiar but unlike any adaptation you’ve seen before.”<\/p>\n

This one-shot will also be collected in a paperback edition alongside The Oddly Pedestrian Life of Christopher Chaos<\/i> #7 and #8, which features another side story about Adam Frankenstein.

Praise for<\/b> The Oddly Pedestrian Life of Christopher Chaos<\/i><\/b>:<\/b><\/p>\n

“The first issue is a perfect setup for a horror comic that struggles with the loneliness of feeling like an outsider.”\u2014Fangoria<\/p>\n

“Full of detail, life, death, and, at times, whimsy. It\u2019s a book about growing up, taking chances, love, loss, mortality, and morality.\u201d\u2014The Convention Collective<\/p>\n

“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.”\u2014Comics Beat<\/p>\n

“The Oddly Pedestrian Life of Christopher Chaos<\/i> #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.”\u2014Comic Watch<\/p>\n

“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.”\u2014Capes & Tights<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
