DIE returns for an epic new story of a dark fantasy adventure game gone horrifically right or wonderfully wrong. A year after their return from the hellish game world, the players gather for Chuck’s wake. They’ve finished with the game. The game isn’t finished with them. The three-time Hugo Award-nominated series is back in November. Get ready to roll initiative. Who’s going to DIE this time?
This is the perfect way to return to a world like DIE. Kieron and the team have created a beautiful 1st issue, and Im very excited to see where the book goes from here. Read Full Review

DIE: Loaded's first issue is both a fine return and a strong start. Hans and Gillen are playing with the narrative rules they established in the first run in fun ways, the setting remains rich with possibility, and the new leads make a fine first showing. It's a game worth following and a comic worth reading. Read Full Review
Kicking Die Loaded with a wake is an ingenious piece of storytelling from Gillen and Hans as the various old/new characters reacquainting themselves with each other mirrors readers coming back to a series that made an impact on them, but it's been a few years. The focus on Ash and Sophie's dynamic as partners and parents is a wonderfully mature hook for the series before it goes into Goth Jumanji chaos, and it gives a freshness to the sequel instead of going the Die Harder route. I feel both blessed and cursed (In an in-universe kind of way.) to return to this world. Read Full Review
This isn't just a sequel. This is the next evolutionmore dangerous, more emotional, more beautiful, and absolutely ready to ruin your week in the best possible way. The dice are rolling again, and trust me fate is petty and ready to fight. Read Full Review
I had no idea this was coming out, saw it on the shelf and was like “oh we’re going back?” The art it still jaw dropping and the story was very well done. I don’t have room in my pull for it but I’m going to make room.
Really good book, this is another one I think would work better as a tv show. Works great as a comic too, but I think the gaps that would be filled in live action would go a long way. For me, anyway. I loved the part toward the end with the choices. Very video-gamey.
