About The Book
What if the fantasy game you played as a teenager became real—and refused to let you go? The cult-favorite, "goth Jumanji" series 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 from Kieron Gillen (The Power Fantasy, The Wicked + The Divine) and Stephanie Hans (We Called Them Giants) is back. Get ready to roll initiative. Who’s going to DIE this time?
Collects DIE: LOADED issues #1-6.

Raves and Reviews
“If ever you’ve played a TTRPG and thought, ‘I’d love to just live in this world,’ this series is for you.”
– The Comics Beat
“A remarkable Jumanji-esque story for fantasy fans.”
– GrimDark Magazine
“Wonderfully nerdy and emotionally complicated and… utterly beautiful.”
– The Hollywood Reporter
"A deliciously dark Phantom Tollbooth-like journey told through a lens of broken humanity and a deconstruction of the role-playing game's roots. I am entranced."
– Matthew Mercer, Critical Role
“Makes for a heady combination of fascinating worldbuilding, compellingly broken characters tearing each other apart (sometimes emotionally, sometimes literally), and vivid, striking artwork.”
– io9/Gizmodo
“Gillen subverts high fantasy adventure tropes with an infusion of creepy horror, resulting in an exploration of arrested adolescence and the effects of childhood trauma made truly haunting by Hans' realistic illustrations and Cowles' gloomy color palette.”
– Library Journal
