Stranger Things: The Other Side by Jody Houser (Graphic Novel Book Review)

Stranger Things: The Other Side
(Stranger Things Comics #1-4)
by Jody Houser
Illustrated by: Stefano Miller & Kieth Champagne
Published by Dark Horse Comics
on May 7, 2019
Genre: Graphic Novel/Comic, Horror
Length: 96 pages

The hit Netflix series from the Duffer Brothers is now a spine-tingling comic that recounts Will Beyers' harrowing survival in the treacherous Upside Down! 

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:

If you enjoy the Stranger Things show on Netflix, you might love this graphic novel version of the first season, plus a little extra from Will's POV!


Told in alternating time-frames with Will and his friends playing D&D and also with Will in the Upside Down, we get a first hand account of what Will encounters and evades within the dark parody of his own world.



I borrowed this from the library a week or so before the Season 3 release on Netflix and I'm glad I did because it gave me a new look back at the 'Upside Down', which really geared me up to watch the show again. I also thought the illustrations and coloring were fantastic and loved the extra artwork mixed throughout!
