Life Is Strange Comic Adaptation Announced
Titan Comics, the publisher that takes licenses properties and adapts them for comics, has announced an adaptation of Dontnod and Square-Enix's Life is Strange.
There aren't a ton of details, as Titan has not announced either the writer or artist for the adaptation yet. They have said it brings back familiar characters and returns to the setting of Arcadia Bay, specifically Blackwell Academy, so it is likely to be a straight adaptation of Dontnod's original game. It's possible that it will incorporate some of the illuminated backstory from Before the Storm, as well.
Titan has also produced comics based on Wolfenstein, Bloodborne, Tekken, and The Evil Within.

Our Take
Titan adaptations can be hit or miss, but most of that comes down to the writer and illustrator they have for the project. Hopefully as a narrative game, Life is Strange works a lot better for an adaptation.
