The ’90s Chaos! vault just cracked open again — and the crowd is already throwing money into the pit.
Brian Pulido’s Coffin Comics and Dynamite are back on the same battlefield for Chaos! Comics – The Purgatori & Chastity Omnibus Collection, a Kickstarter that went live around September 10, 2026. September 14 crowdfunding roundup, the campaign had already ripped past its $6,666 goal with roughly $226,366 pledged and about 24 days still on the clock. That is not a soft open. That is a stampede.
According to Comics for Sinners’ August preview, the package is built as two packed omnibuses totaling more than 1,500 pages of classic material — the kind of shelf-crushing ’90s archive that has lived in back-issue bins, convention boxes, and long-out-of-print runs for decades. Comic Watch’s campaign coverage frames the books as deluxe omnibus editions collecting the eras bad-girl horror hits for the first time in this format, curated by Pulido and waving the Chaos! flag that once meant louder, stranger, darker comics with zero interest in playing it safe.
The pitch is pure Chaos! DNA. Purgatori’s blood-and-ambition vampire mythos and Chastity’s never-back-down monster-hunter energy get the definitive hardcover treatment, with Comic Watch noting the collections also pull in the wider Chaos! orbit — including co-starring heat from Lady Death and Evil Ernie. For longtime readers, it is a reunion with characters that defined a certain unapologetic corner of 90s comics. For newer horror fans, it is a rare clean on-ramp into stories that were previously scattered and hard to track down.
Dynamite and Coffin teaming up again is the publishing headline underneath the nostalgia. Pulido is positioned as curator of the classic Purgatori and Chastity runs; Dynamite brings the Chaos! library muscle. Together they are selling not just reprints, but a statement: these books belong in permanent collections, not scavenger hunts.
Early-bird theater is part of the sell, too. Comic Watch reports that backers who jumped in during the campaign’s first 66 hours and 6 minutes were promised a limited-edition set of Chastity and Purgatori promotional trading cards created for the Kickstarter — a classic Chaos!-coded scarcity play that matches the brand’s old-school hype instincts.
As of the September 12 roundups, the numbers already tell the story: a tiny $6,666 goal, nearly $182K in the bank, and a whole lot of fans who never stopped wanting these characters in print-ready omnibus form. If the rest of the campaign holds the same temperature, Pulido and Dynamite’s Chaos! reunion is not just funded — it is a full-throated demand for more of that ’90s hellraising on the bookshelf.
