History ComicBook / LifeIsStrange

* BareYourMidriff: Rachel in her first appearance, then later on she, Max, and Chloe all have moments where they wear midriff-baring outfits.

** Issue 4 ends with [[spoiler:Max entering a new timeline, which has her encounter Chloe and Rachel Amber on the beach.]]

* NoAntagonist: There's no BigBad to speak of in the entire series.

* ArtShift: A subtle one in issues 2 and 3 -- the alternate realities in issue 2 have brown lineart instead of the main universe's black, and the reality in issue 3 with [[spoiler:Rachel]] has gray lineart.
* BareYourMidriff: Rachel in her first appearance, then later on Max, Chloe and Rachel all have moments where they wear midriff baring outfits.
* BigDamnKiss: Chloe kisses Max near the end of issue 4, shortly before Max [[spoiler:allows herself to be pulled from Chloe's reality because she doesn't belong there.]]

* {{Blooper}}: The issue 2 recap in the third issue mistakenly calls Dana "Diana".

* UnexpectedCharacter: In Issue 15, Rachel has a brief interaction with [[spoiler: Brody Holloway, a supporting character from ''VideoGame/LifeIsStrange2''.]]

* CastFullOfGay: Though the franchise is already known for its LGBTQ+ rep from the games, the comics really take it UpToEleven, with almost every main character either openly in a same-sex romantic relationship or at the very least ''strongly hinted'' to be interested in someone of the same gender (or, in Dex's case, strongly hinted to be trans).

** [[spoiler:Max reacts with surprise to learn that Alyssa survived the storm and is now working at the reconstructed Two Whales diner. Since Max and Chloe spent a whole year living together in Seattle trying to process what happened before Max started universe-hopping. Under those circumstances, it seems particularly odd that Max never looked into or even learned in passing which of her friends made it out alive.]]

** [[spoiler:Chloe has been living in and helping to rebuild Arcadia Bay while Max has been universe-hopping. ''Life Is Strange 2'' establishes that they're living in New York, and Arcadia Bay is still a ruin ''after'' the events of the comics supposedly take place.]] Doubles as a ContinuitySnarl.

* IWillFindYou: [[spoiler: The end of Issue 4. As the Max we've been following leaves for another timeline, Chloe promises to find the Max who actually belongs in her world. The fact that she still knows the band The High Seas confirms her Max is out there somewhere.]]

* ForegoneConclusion: Subverted - as the existence of TheMultiverse is set up from the beginning of the story, the comic isn't beholden to any other material. For instance, ''VideoGame/LifeIsStrange2'' shows Arcadia Bay is still in ruins three years after the game, but when Chloe and Max visit it here, repairs are well underway.
** Played straight: Max comes back into her original timeline, and are together by the time Life is Strange 2 occurs.

* NoAntagonist: There's no BigBad to speak of in the ''Dust'' arc, and the main conflict coming from Max's [[PowerIncontinence random jumps through timelines]].

* CuttingOffTheBranches: As mentioned above, the comic looks to be set after the "Sacrifice Arcadia Bay" ending. Additionally, Chloe mentions how Kate's life was almost destroyed, implying that Max was able to save her. However, the comics creators have made clear that it is only one possibility from that ending. Episode 5 of ''VideoGame/LifeisStrange2'' confirms that the comics are a separate continuity, [[spoiler: as the follow-up from the Sacrifice Arcadia Bay ending shows Max and Chloe are still together and living in New York). ]]

The comic is released roughly once a month, every four issues comprising one story arc. The first arc, ''Dust'', began on November 14, 2018. The second arc, ''Waves'', began on May 28, 2019. The third arc, ''Strings'', began on October 15, 2019. The series ended with issue twelve, but was directly continued in a SequelSeries titled ''Life is Strange: Partners in Time'', which started on October 14, 2020.

* [[LadyNotAppearingInThisGame Lady Not-Appearing-in-This-Comic]]: An odd variant: Alex Chen appears on the cover of the Free Comic Book Day 2021 issue to promote the upcoming ''[[VideoGame/LifeIsStrangeTrueColors True Colors]]'' game, but doesn't actually appear anywhere in the comic itself.
