The Oddly Pedestrian Life of Christopher Chaos: Children of the Night #1

Meet teenage mad scientist Christopher Chaos. His brilliant mind works in ways that defy logic and enable him to do things that push him beyond his peers–but these abilities also lead others to fear him. One day, something cracks. When the cute boy at high school turns out to be a deadly creature, Christopher finds himself pitted in a world of monsters, heroes, and a cult of hunters out to kill them all.
Renegade Royale
Dark Horse Books presents Renegade Royale, the follow-up to Ben Kahn, Rachel Silverstein, and Sam Back’s GLAAD Media Award-nominated queer VR gaming graphic novel, Renegade Rule.

So when a new brawl mode is introduced to the game—along with a sponsored inaugural competition—they’re in it to win it (again)! Get ready for a burgeoning romance between two team members, all-new character classes, and new rivals who will push Tonya, Sasha, Amanda and Jessie to their very limits.
“We’re so thrilled to return to the world and friendships of Renegade Rule,” said Kahn and Silverstein. “We had so much more story to tell with these characters, and we can’t wait to share more queer romance and VR action with readers.”

Ripperland
Gore spatters and unlikely romance blossoms in a near-future revenge thriller, Ripperland! The tale is co-written by multi-award nominated creators Steve Orlando and John Harris Dunning, with art by Alessandro Oliveri, colors by Francesca Vivaldi, and letters by Fabio Amelia.
The year is 2188, and Jack the Ripper has returned to London. For the last century, a shattered post-Brexit England has operated as a massive Victorian theme park in exchange for American military and financial protection. But when an American mogul’s grandson is killed in the heart of London, the delicate status quo is threatened. Is the killer a brilliant maniac? Americans taking advantage of their superior technology? Or the English Underground Resistance, wishing to throw off the yoke of American oppression and rejoin the modern world?
American Special Agent Jesse Holden and local British Police Detective Edwin Fogg must overcome clashing ideologies in order to find the truth in the foggy streets of 22nd-century London.
The Ripperland paperback collection is available for pre-order now, arriving in bookstores on September 30, 2025 and comic shops on October 1, 2025.
