New STRANGER THINGS Anthology Comic Will Tell More Stories From Hawkins

Dark Horse comics is gearing up for the release of Stranger Things: Tales From Hawkins. This new anthology series from writer Jody Houser (Critical Role: Vox Machina Origins, Star Wars: Thrawn) and artists Caio Filipe, Sunando C, Giorgia Gio Esposito, colorist Dan Jackson, and letterer Nate Piekos will take you on a journey to follow the other citizens of the small town of Hawkins. Here’s the synopsis:

On the surface, Hawkins, Indiana seems like the kind of town where nothing too out of the ordinary ever happens, but in the fall of ’83 it is anything but safe. In Issue #1 of Tales from Hawkins, two friends head out into the woods with their rifles and a six-pack. These would-be hunters find themselves the prey of a nightmarish beast who has claimed the wilderness around town and everything inside it, including them.

I can only assume things do not go well for these hunters since I’m pretty sure we found these were some of the people who went missing from town way back in season 1 of the show. But I think it will be interesting to see what actually happened to them and what all they had managed to learn before the Demogorgon got to them. Or maybe they got away and have just been laying low in a new town this whole time. I’m excited to read this anthology series as we wait for the next season of Stranger Things to release. You can pick up Stranger Things: Tales From Hawkins #1 in comic shops February 8, 2023 with variant covers by artists Kyle Lambert, Diego Galindo, and Danny Luckert also available.
