It Just Didn't Work For Me

TITLE: Stranger Things: The Other Side (Vol. 1)
AUTHOR: Jody Houser, Stefano Martino & Keith Champagne
PUBLISHER: Dark Horse Books
PUBLISHING DATE: May 7, 2019


FROM GOODREADS: When Will Byers finds himself in the Upside Down, an impossible dark parody of his own world, he's understandably frightened. But that's nothing compared with the fear that takes hold when he realizes what's in that world with him! 


MY THOUGHTS:  So basically I love Stranger Things and I thought this would be a good filler considering I binged Season 3 way to fast and am now longing for season 4.  This graphic novel is supposed to cover Will's time during season 1 or basically what happened to him in the Upside Down.  I thought that would be interesting and that I needed it in my life.  Turns out I didn't.  I really did not find that it filled in much of a gap.  Probably because I never really thought there was a gap.  Also, I wasn't overly enthused about the artwork either. 

I don't think I will continue on with the graphic novel/comic part of this franchise. I'd say if you're a huge fan you might want to give it a try but I consider myself a huge fan and I was left feeling "meh."

RATING: 2 PAWS
