Stranger Things: Kamchatka (Graphic Novel)

I know younger kids are watching Stanger Things, but I recommend ten or older.

"Stranger Things: Kamchatka" is Michael Moreci’s first full-length “Stranger Things” comic book series, following previous efforts by the likes of such authors as Jody Houser, Greg Pak, and Jim Zub; it’s also – surprisingly - easily the best comic output that the franchise has produced yet.Moreci – who in the past has delivered equally impressive work for such notable franchises as “Star Wars” and “Planet of the Apes” – knows what he’s doing on both a basic storytelling level, as well as a pure fan one – nothing in “Kamchatka” feels either overly gimmicky or self-aware, and the core plot here – involving two children desperately seeking to find their father - is as compelling and emotionally resonant as anything delivered in the core show.In other words? “Kamchatka” is what a comic tie-in SHOULD be: an additional story that serves to expand and broaden the fabric of the core franchise, rather that cheapening or trivializing it.Bravo, Mr. Moreci.Now more, please.
