Summary
Follow the crew from Hawkins， Indiana， as they discover the legendary monsters and epic adventures of the Dungeons & Dragons tabletop role-playing game together。
Long before the dreaded Demogorgon took one of them to the Upside Down， watch Mike， Lucas， and Will bond with Dustin for the first time over the game that would define their childhood。 See the party come together as a team through communal stories and perilous quests to learn important lessons about friendship and find the courage to stand up to the bullies that challenge their everyday。
Written by comics and RPG all-stars Jim Zub （Rick and Morty vs。 D&D， Conan: Serpent War， Dungeons & Dragons: Infernal Tides） and Jody Houser （Critical Role: Vox Machina， Stranger Things， Star Wars）， with vorpal-sharp line art from rising talent Diego Galindo （Power Rangers， Kino） and eye-popping colors from MsassyK （Isola） that strike as true as a Magic Missile。 Dive into this love letter to a game that has defined role-playing through the lens of your current favorite icons of eighties nostalgia。

I loved this TP， each story was a perfect snapshot of the kid’s lives at different times through the Stranger Things timeline。 I loved seeing the stories through the lens of D&D and how they met。

Reading this made me yearn for Stranger Things to return。 Houser and Zub captured the relationship between the kids very well。 It also made me want to start a new D&D campaign as it brought back those feels of playing D&D with my friends growing up。 That sense of camaraderie you get from friends that have your back and the joy of leveling up your character while having these adventures。 Each issue takes place between a season of the show。 This is a book I think anyone who grew up playing RPGs wi Reading this made me yearn for Stranger Things to return。 Houser and Zub captured the relationship between the kids very well。 It also made me want to start a new D&D campaign as it brought back those feels of playing D&D with my friends growing up。 That sense of camaraderie you get from friends that have your back and the joy of leveling up your character while having these adventures。 Each issue takes place between a season of the show。 This is a book I think anyone who grew up playing RPGs will really enjoy。 。。。more

Well， this is certainly another wonderful Stranger Things spin-off story。 These media-tie-in stories can be real hit or miss， usually miss actually。 But this one holds up， giving more context and backstory to the group’s obsession with Dungeons & Dragons。 I also enjoyed that this offers a glimpse as to what playing D&D is like， and doesn’t try to fuse the game with “reality。” But what works the best for me， is that the characters feel authentic and that the story isn’t trying to add more superna Well， this is certainly another wonderful Stranger Things spin-off story。 These media-tie-in stories can be real hit or miss， usually miss actually。 But this one holds up， giving more context and backstory to the group’s obsession with Dungeons & Dragons。 I also enjoyed that this offers a glimpse as to what playing D&D is like， and doesn’t try to fuse the game with “reality。” But what works the best for me， is that the characters feel authentic and that the story isn’t trying to add more supernatural adventures to the overall narrative， just adding depth and background。 I appreciate that with these types of media-tie-in marketing projects。 。。。more

Ok this was honestly really good。 I have such an attachment to D&D and was hoping they were going to make a graphic novel about their sessions when the show started。 I loved how they went through all the seasons to how their playing developed and how they created their party， adding Eleven and Max into the party later。 Definitely my favorite of the Stranger Things graphic novels so far。 Also makes me want to rewatch Stranger Things again。

An excellent addition to the Stranger Things universe， filling in around the edges and expanding on what we see in the show itself。 This series takes place across the timeline of all three seasons， starting before the first episode with the boys' first Dungeons and Dragons adventure。I was concerned that the addition of D&D would be little more than an ad in comic book form， but they fit in the role-playing aspects very neatly with the overall story。 It's a natural fit and well worth reading。 An excellent addition to the Stranger Things universe， filling in around the edges and expanding on what we see in the show itself。 This series takes place across the timeline of all three seasons， starting before the first episode with the boys' first Dungeons and Dragons adventure。I was concerned that the addition of D&D would be little more than an ad in comic book form， but they fit in the role-playing aspects very neatly with the overall story。 It's a natural fit and well worth reading。 。。。more

Pretty much a love letter to how class dungeons and dragons is more than any important canonical stranger things content。 Captures the greatness of DND perfectly

Can't wait for May of 2022 to bring the latest season of Stranger Things？ The wait is a good one thing at least- diving into the books and graphic novels featuring all our favorite characters。 In this graphic novel， we get to see how the boys first discover Dungeons & Dragons and how it forms and strengthens their friendship。 After their first battle with real monsters， Mike turns to D&D to once again help heal the scars left from Will's time in the Upside Down， and they return to the game again Can't wait for May of 2022 to bring the latest season of Stranger Things？ The wait is a good one thing at least- diving into the books and graphic novels featuring all our favorite characters。 In this graphic novel， we get to see how the boys first discover Dungeons & Dragons and how it forms and strengthens their friendship。 After their first battle with real monsters， Mike turns to D&D to once again help heal the scars left from Will's time in the Upside Down， and they return to the game again and again to connect with each other。 Great art and story telling come together to put the reader right back in Hawkins， Indiana， where the roll of the dice determines our fate！ 。。。more

I really enjoyed this comic featuring the kids from Stranger Things and how their world of Dungeons & Dragons brought and kept them together。 It was fun seeing them learn about the game， then develop into the characters they were in the game， and apply those lessons to life and in fighting real world monsters。 I also loved how Will ended his last game playing with his friends before his family moved away。I received an e-ARC of this book by the publisher Dark Horse Comics and IDW via Edelweiss。 T I really enjoyed this comic featuring the kids from Stranger Things and how their world of Dungeons & Dragons brought and kept them together。 It was fun seeing them learn about the game， then develop into the characters they were in the game， and apply those lessons to life and in fighting real world monsters。 I also loved how Will ended his last game playing with his friends before his family moved away。I received an e-ARC of this book by the publisher Dark Horse Comics and IDW via Edelweiss。 This does not affect my opinion regarding the book。 。。。more

Follow the adventures of Mike Wheeler and his friends into their own fantasy world of Dungeons and Dragons。I liked the writer's idea of inserting tales between the events of the TV series。 The plot was a good example of how making a fictional desirable identity for oneself changes one's real identity and how one game can bring children together。 I recommend this book to all the fans of the Stranger Things series。 However unlike other similar books， I would not recommend this to anyone who hasn't Follow the adventures of Mike Wheeler and his friends into their own fantasy world of Dungeons and Dragons。I liked the writer's idea of inserting tales between the events of the TV series。 The plot was a good example of how making a fictional desirable identity for oneself changes one's real identity and how one game can bring children together。 I recommend this book to all the fans of the Stranger Things series。 However unlike other similar books， I would not recommend this to anyone who hasn't seen the series。 。。。more

I would like to thank edelweiss and the publisher for an advance copy in exchange for an honest review。 I have read most of these Stranger Things graphic novels and I find that they are nice little additions to the show while we wait for another season。 I will say， I do not know much about Dungeons & Dragons as I have never played it， but I still enjoyed this story and the art that went along with it。
