Stranger Things #3

I really adore reading this series from Will’s perspective. You could argue that we’re just seeing the same things over again from season one, but we’re really not. Everything is from Will’s perspective, which means we’re seeing it from the Upside Down. That makes for a totally new story. It also fills in the gaps for how Will survived, where he went, and so on.
What I hadn’t expected, but should have, was how all the events above would connect in the Upside Down. What I’m trying to say is that I hadn’t anticipated that Will would be so aware of what was happening to and with his friends. I guess I just expected that he had mostly stayed within a certain range of his house – something that is clearly not the case.
I’m anxiously awaiting the release of the next issue. In the meantime I might go back and rewatch the first season. It feels appropriate, especially after having read this particular issue.
