Dead Space : Comic




I know there are a few comics but this one is simply 'Dead Space' this first came out in issue format in 2008 and man if you wanted those bad boys you were looking at ALOT of money, as a big fan of the franchise but not so good at the games I had a look for them and about £50 an issue or something retarted.

But sadly for sellers/collecters and great for us cheap assholes it came out in trade back form just recently and retails for about £13.99 which is more then I pay for an average trade back but still better then £50 an issue... still.. fuck man.

So the trade back is nice and shiny and in it you get some nifty bios on the main people in the book.


Bram being a total bro and not believing in that major crazy ass Unitology and is full of 'I take no ones bullshit' so yeah he's my fav from the get go. Also I noticed when they are talking about one of the heads of Unitology they accidentally [or 'accidently'] called it Scientology hurhur I hope it was an added mistake I really do.

Anyway the story is pretty much... Unitology has been around awhile, it's before Issac's time. They find their first 'real' marker not one that they have been making. Causes allot of crazy shit like break downs, not sleeping, visions, all the good stuff you find in the novels.

So yeah Unitology and its people are fucking nuts... they beat the normal minded people.. mass suicides marker turns people into Necromorphs a load of shit goes down and the marker is moved to the Ishmara where poor ol Issac who is very very ignored and forgotten in anything else goes and has to sort some shit out.

Very basic plot, you don't find out much more of the back story but it's still enjoyable.


The art is a little odd for comics, I like mine to be more.. X-men then something different [change is scary and so are new things] but I started to like all the water colours and how they are different with the moods and actions of the comics. Sometimes the people will look ugly as ass though but it's a neat art style. 

Another thing about the comic is whenever people bang on about 'Altman have mercy' or 'Altman be praised' if you have read the novel it kinda tugs at you, that poor fucker tried to bring them down, tried to stop it and warn everyone about the crazy fuckers and evil rocks and instead the bastards made him their 'leader' and killed him. 

I think the comics would make more sense if you have read the novels but not important to enjoy.

Art: 4/5
Scares: 0/5
Gore: 3/5
Plot: 3/5
Overall enjoyment: 4/5

Should buy it for your Dead Space collection though, for sure.
