NYCC ’19: Dark Horse Announces “Stranger Things: Into the Fire”

Dark Horse and Netflix are releasing their third Stranger Things comic book series, titled “Stranger Things: Into the Fire.” Created by writer Jody Houser (“Stranger Things: SIX,” “Critical Role”), line artist Ryan Kelly (“Lucifer,” “Saucer Country”), inker Le Beau Underwood (“Stormwatch,” “Batwing”), colorist Triona Farrell (“Mighty Morphin Power Rangers,” “Crowded”), and letterer Nate Piekos (“Black Hammer,” “The Mask: Pledge Allegiance to The Mask”), the first issue is scheduled to go on sale in stores January 8, 2020. It is currently available for pre-order.

In “Stranger Things: Into the Fire,” years after escaping Hawkins Lab, two of Dr. Brenner’s former subjects seek to live normal lives. When news reaches them that the lab was shut down they go on a harrowing search for Nine, a powerful pyrokinetic, whose shattered psyche threatens to burn them all to ashes if they can’t find her and free her from her own malevolent imagination.

“Stranger Things: Into the Fire” follows two other Dark Horse series expanding on the hit show: “Stranger Things Volume 1: The Other Side,” and “Stranger Things Volume 2: Six,” which will hit shelves on November 26, 2019. If you can’t wait until next month for your “Stranger Things” comic fix, Multiversity writer Chris Egan posted a review of “Stranger Things: Six” #1, the four-issue miniseries that debuted this past May (but be warned, there are spoilers).
