Revisit the macabre world of 2019’s ‘Best Indie Game’ with third “Worse Than Death” comic

By EVAN MILLAR

Toronto-based game developer and artist Benjamin Rivers has just released the third volume of WORSE THAN DEATH, a new comic set in the same universe as RUE MORGUE’s “Best Indie Game” of 2019.

Following the events of that game, the comic series sees Mia continuing her dark dating escapades on the “Love” app and even crossing paths with the game’s protagonist, Holly.

“What’s Worse Than Death? Perhaps living the rest of your life alone. Both Holly and Mia have tragic histories with the macabre that they just can’t escape. When a popular dating app brings these two together for the most unlikely reason, will sparks fly? Or just blood?”

You can purchase all three volumes of the WORSE THAN DEATH comic over on ComiXology or directly from Benjamin Rivers, and follow him on Twitter and Instagram.
