Titan Comics and Square Enix have teamed for Life is Strange: Forget-Me-Not with creator Zoe Thorogood leading the way.
Psychic empath guitarist Alex Chen and drummer, DJ, and super-nerd Steph Gingrichare now touring their band across smalltown America; a tour of crusty venues, distracted audiences, and cold nights huddled in their camper van.
As the days blur together, Alex and Steph begin to doubt their choices – until they find another lost soul on the side of the road, a mysterious teenager named Lily.
Alex and Steph take Lily under their wing, to uncover the truth of what she’s running from. But there’s more to Lily than meets the eye, as she struggles under the weight of heartache and memories from lives she hasn’t lived. An all-too-familiar story for Alex, who’s lived her life buffeted by the emotions of others. Is there time to save Lily from a similar lonely fate?
“It’s difficult to emphasise how formative the original LIFE IS STRANGE was for my teen years, I played it when I was 16 and remember falling in love with it instantly,” said writer Zoe Thorogood in a press release from Titan Comics “I downloaded each episode on the day they came out. Even now, episode 2 is one of the most powerful game experiences I’ve ever had. Personally, LIFE IS STRANGE has always been a series about misfits trying to find themselves and their crowd, with the superpowers being stand-ins for real life divergences we may have. Tonally, it has the perfect balance of whimsical and dark what-the-heck-ery that I adore in stories. I’m hoping LIFE IS STRANGE: FORGET-ME-NOT will appeal to new and old fans alike, and have all the charm and heartbreak as the rest of the series.”
Joining Thorogood on this new series is returning artist Claudia Leonardi.
Life is Strange: Forget-Me-Not #1 arrives on December 13, 2023.
