The boys mull over Eddie’s offer, hesitant to join a new campaign without Will and El. As Eddie does his best to inspire Mike, Lucas, and Dustin to join the Hellfire Club in the present, the past holds a glimpse of the legendary campaign that got him hooked on playing D&D. Eddie and the original Hellfire crew add a new teammate to help take on a vicious Manticore that nearly wiped out their party the first time. But both in the past and present Eddie proves there is strength in numbers.
• Exciting new D&D focused prequel to the events of Stranger Things Season 4.
• The D&D origin story of Eddie Munson and the Hellfire Club!
"You really think there's only one story you have to tell? No matter what your old party may have accomplished, there's still more glory to be had. Other evils to slay. Other worlds to save. And if the three of you choose to dwell in the past, to ignore this call to adventure, to let your story fade and die...then who is left to do these mighty deeds?"
I absolutely loved this second issue, Eddie is such an amazing character and I'm enjoying the crumbs of new information we're learning about him and his friends. I also like how the story switches back and forth in different times, giving us a glimpse of the current Hellfire Club aswell as the past one before Eddie became DM. The meaningful friendships and feeling of finding a sense of belonging is strong, and weirdly emotional. I can't wait for the next issue!
I love the back story of the Hellfire club and the introduction of the new high school characters. High school is going to be fun. Lots of great memories from when I started playing D&D in 1976.
