Is 'other' a comparative?

Is 'other' a comparative?

If not, than are these wrong or can you use 'Than' after other?

/ They were killed for no other reason than that their views were different than others.
/ I have other things to do than that.
/ What other thing could they do than sleep at this hour?
/ I wish I'd be able to annoy my neighbors in some other way than by turning the tv up real loud.

Thanks
