Welcome! In the Coffin Comics Lady Death Universe, Chaos Rules is the best place to start her epic adventure. Damnation Game would be the second story to read, followed by Extinction Express, Oblivion Kiss, Merciless Onslaught, Unholy Ruin, Apocalyptic Abyss, Nightmare Symphony, Scorched Earth, and finally, Blasphemy Anthem. All of these titles are distributed to the global comic shop market and most are available for direct purchase at Lady Death Store.
Lady Death stories were published by Avatar Press / Boundless Comics from 2004 to 2015. For all intents and purposes, these stories represent a dream state experienced by Lady Death between the events of her original Chaos! Comics series (1994-2002) and the events of the debut Coffin Comics Lady Death title, Chaos Rules in 2015. As such, we do not consider these stories to be canon. Coffin Comics is the new permanent home of Lady Death, under the careful supervision of creator Brian Pulido. Accept no imitations!
Although Brian Pulido created these characters (among many others), he hasn’t owned the rights to any of the characters from the original Chaos! Universe (aside from Lady Death) since 2002. Trust us, we miss them, too! But give us a chance – we have lots of great new things in store for the new Coffinverse!

Comic Shop Market (CSM) Editions
Comic shop market editions are chiefly distributed through a global network of comic dealers serviced by Diamond Comic Distributors. CSM editions offer a great and cost-effective way to keep current on your favorite Coffin Comics titles, whether you choose to buy from your local comic dealer or directly from us at Coffin Comics. We offer a variety of limited edition CSM titles as well!
Exclusive Limited Editions
Exclusive limited editions are aimed at the collector’s market and are printed in much lower quantities than our CSM editions – often in quantities of 100 copies or less! The majority of our exclusive limited editions are serially numbered runs. A number of our exclusive limited editions feature jeweled covers, metal covers and even hand-colored covers! Availability of these editions does vary, but you’ll typically find them at the conventions we appear at and for preorder online at Coffin Comics. But be forewarned: many of these editions sell out fast!
Crowdfunding/Premiere Editions
Kickstarter and Premiere editions are somewhat similar to our exclusive limited editions mentioned above, except they feature covers with artwork exclusive to our Kickstarter campaigns. Many of these editions are highly collectible and sell out fast — the best way to get them is to support our Kickstarter campaigns! Our next Kickstarter campaign for Lady Death: Malevolent Decimation launches in February 2020! More details to follow!

We apologize, but at this time, we do not offer a buy/sell/trade service. You may try listing your items on an online auction site (such as eBay) or offer up them in the Cyber Fiends group on Facebook.
You may try the Overstreet Price Guide from Gemstone Publishing, as they tend to stay the most current with book values.

Awesome! We’d love to see them! Please visit the Creative Submissions Page here for more details!
