The scariest game of the year, Dead Space, had a series of comic books. But for those who missed out on buying the comic, the first issue can be obtained at Newsarama.

If you want to learn more about the storyline of survival horror game Dead Space but are too cheap to buy the tie-in comic books, you're in luck: the first issue is now available at Newsarama for free.

The comic book series, six issues in total serves as a prequel to the game. The colonists of Aegis VII unearth a mysterious alien artifact and things go downhill from there. It was illustrated by Ben Templesmith and written by Antony Johnston (who also scripted the game itself).

    I'm guessing Newsarama is a US store, because i've never heard of it over here in the UK. Shame. Still, gonna have a gander online to see if I can buy it there.

    This is the same comics you can read online in the Dead Space website, or download in the PSN/XBL store (with animated voice acting).

    And of course...scariest game of the year is quite a stretch.
