The Stranger Things series is one of my all-time favorites, so when I saw this on my library's digital page, I knew I had to check it out. It's pretty cool, in my opinion. I like how we get to see what exactly Will was going through while being in the Upside Down, and how awful it was. Even though there isn't a whole lot of new content in this, I still found it to be pretty enjoyable, and perfect for any fans of the series.

A fun retelling of Will’s experience in the Upside Down from Season 1 through Will’s perspective. I enjoyed it and think it gives a little more context to the original story and Will’s reaction after his rescue!

***5 stars***
I honestly don't know why this graphic novel has such an average rating, because I think it was great!
I've probably said this before, when I read the other Stranger Things comics, but I am a huge fan of the series. It is by far one of my all time favorite TV shows, if not my absolute favorite. So I knew I'd be reading anything I can get my hands on that's related to it.
This first issue delivered exactly what it promised: it's basically season 1 from Will's Upside Down perspective, only it's a lot more in-depth than the series. It's told in alternating time-frames, from flashbacks with Will and his friends playing D&D in Mike's basement, to a first-hand account of what Will encounters in the dark version of his own world.
There were so many moments I absolutely loved that made reading this very worthwhile, I can only recommend it to any and every fan of the series out there!
