Stranger Things is not only about 80’s rock, D&D, high school heartbreak, or even monsters from another dimension. It is about brave kids standing up for what they believe in and fighting for their friends and family no matter what. This hardcover collection brings together two stories about just that.
Tomb of Ybwen is set in January 1985, after the Hawkins crew survived a battle with the Mind Flayer. Will and Joyce are reeling from Bob Newby’s death. Will’s friends have been too busy with their girlfriends to notice him struggling. After Mr. Clarke and Will discover an odd map Bob left in a box of A.V. club memorabilia, Will rallies the gang to investigate—but with a blizzard coming, they’re afraid to follow. But when Will takes off into the freezing wilds alone they rush to stop him and just as they catch up –discover that Bob’s map may lead to a real hidden treasure and that turning back is no longer an option.

Stranger Things: The Tomb of Ybwen - ★★★ Another one of these kind of fluff Stranger Things minis. This one takes place after Season 2. Will is still sad about what happened to Bob. He finds an old map to a "treasure" that Bob created as a teenager and the boys go to find it. Will is acting kind of obsessed over it. It's another by the numbers story. I wish they'd let authors cut loose on this series. Surely, there's a meaningful story that could be put in between the seasons here that doesn't affect the main storyline. Other licenses do this kind of thing all the time.
Stranger Things: Holiday Specials- ★★ More Stranger Things fluff with these Holiday Specials. In the Halloween one, they tell some ghost stories. In the Christmas one, we get some quick but lame Stranger Things versions of Christmas movies. The last one is about two of Hopper's dumbass deputies operating around the scenes of Season 3. If I bought any of these at my LCS, I would have considered it money flushed down the toilet. Bring back Jody Houser.
