Bad Luck Chuck #1

Dark Horse kicks off this 2019 series with a cover that sets the tone perfectly: Charlene "Chuck" Manchester sits coolly on a couch amid total chaos — business cards reading "Disaster On Demand" scattered at her feet, a black cat perched nearby, a ladder leaning behind her, someone dangling from it overhead, and fiery orange destruction filling the background. That serene expression on her face amid all the mayhem tells you everything you need to know about this character. With Lela Gwenn writing and Matthew Dow Smith, Kelly Fitzpatrick, and Frank Cvetkovic rounding out the creative team, Bad Luck Chuck #1 looks like a genuinely fun ride into misfortune-for-hire territory.
