Dynamite is coughin’ up the big bucks for a brand-new co-publishing agreement with Coffin Comics, reuniting the characters of Chaos! Comics with reprints of classic stories starring Evil Ernie, Lady Death and more.
First announced at Swornfest 2026 in Mesa, Arizona, Dynamite’s Nick Barrucci and Coffin’s Brian Pulido have teamed up to bring fans “limited-time reprint collections and merchandise, available through multiple channels, including direct-to-consumer crowdfunding campaigns and the direct market,” per PR provided by Dynamite. This will kick off with a Kickstarter for a three-volume set of Evil Ernie comics, presented in multiple formats, amounting to over 1,500 pages total. Dynamite also promises future Kickstarters focusing on Lady Death, Purgatori, Chastity, and the Coffin universe.
“Brian [Pulido] and I go back over 30 years, as two hardworking and strong-willed young guns in the industry back in the 1990s,” said Nick Barrucci, Dynamite CEO and Publisher. “His energy is unmatched in this medium, and was always one of the most fun folks to work with in the early eras of Dynamic Forces. Chaos! was always about rebellion and bringing electrifying art and ideas to the page. Bringing this boundary-pushing art back to print has been a major goal. Most importantly, this is something fans have wanted to see, and this reunion feels so good!”
Added Pulido, “Bringing the classic era stories to life in the Chaos! Library series is a dream come true. A year ago, this wasn’t even on the horizon, but now I’m immersed in over 6,000 pages of story and art I helped create, write, and publish. I gotta tell ya, this stuff is over-the-top, unapologetic, and ready to kick your ass! So, let’s get ready to descend into Where Darkness Dwells and ride the lightning together! I’m excited to be part of this ambitious series of crowdfunding campaigns that will showcase all of the 90s Chaos! Comics stories in new and exciting ways, sure to thrill both new and longtime fans.”
If you’re not familiar, Chaos! began in 1991 with Evil Ernie, created by Pulido and the late Steven Hughes. It spun off into other characters mentioned above, and the whole thing was Extremely Metal. Dynamite has actually owned the entire Chaos! library since 2010, other than Lady Death, but this marks a big expansion of the partnership.
