Stranger Things and Dungeons & Dragons: The Rise of Hellfire #1

I went into this issue expecting an underwhelming story meant to hold me over between seasons of Stranger Things. So, imagine my surprise when I finished reading and immediately wanted more of this story instead of the next season. Eddie Munson is a beloved character and one that most fans of this franchise want more of. I am so happy to report that this series is poised to give us all that we want from the character and more. If you love Stranger Things, Dungeons & Dragons, or just well told stories, don't miss out on this book! Read Full Review

There is not enough quality here to bring readers back for the next issue to see what twists may lie ahead. We understand the need for a dull beginning to contrast with Eddie's eventual Hellfire transformation. But as of now the D&D sequences feel silly and the characters feel light. There is no anger, no rebelliousness, no danger and no injustice in this book to justify any future transformation. Read Full Review

Plot It begins in 1985 with Eddie Munson stating that it will be his last year in high school and he is going to graduate, but his fears make him remember when he arrived to the same halls full of bullies in 1978 when his friend Ronnie gives him a hand and he hears for the first time about the existence of the role-playing game Dugeons & Dragons and joins a group of strangers as peculiar as him to share the same hobby. Eddie sees Lucas, Dustin and Mike reading a Dugeons & Dragons manual and helps them defend themselves from a teacher who claims that this game is satanic, in the 1980s there was a collective hysteria about satanic sects where they judged as satanic everything that was different. Eddie knows that he is going to get a ne w group, since all his friends graduated and he needs to reform the Hellfire Club and continue his legacy. The dialogues are excellent, they are faithfully adapted to the personalities of each character in the series. Excellent supporting story for season four of Stranger Things where we met the coolest, most heroic and endearing character of all the seasons, Eddie Munson, this comic will be perfect to say goodbye as it should be, with a lot of nostalgia. Art It is very detailed and captures the essence of each of the actors in the series, from facial expressions to body language. Summary Eddie Munson is about to recruit the new members of his Dugeons & Dragons club. Supporting series and prequel to season 4 of Strangers Things. more
