Rezi zu #2 und #3

In der Comic-Serie zur Netflix-Serie erzählt Autorin Jody Houser (Mother Panic, Faith) einen parallelen Handlungsstrang aus der Sicht von Will Buyers während seiner Zeit im Upside Down (Staffel 1). Nachdem mich das erste Heft nicht vom Hocker gerissen hat, steht nach #2 und #3 fest, dass ich die Reihe erst mal nicht weiter aktiv verfolgen werde. Bedingt dadurch, für den "Kanon" die TV-Serie ausschlaggebend ist, kann Houser (wahrscheinlich) keine Geschichten erzählen, die bahnbrechende neue Erkenntnisse über diese Welt mit sich bringen oder sich auch nur irgendwie mit aktuellen bzw. künftigen Staffeln beißen könnten. Stattdessen irrt der Leser mit Will durch die finstere Spiegeldimension und erlebt einige Szenen der TV-Serie aus dessen Perspektive. Das sind dann solche, in denen Will zwar anwesend, aber nicht zu sehen war (#Lichtsignale) oder bei denen man von seiner Anwesenheit gar nichts wissen konnte (#Barb).

Für Hardcore-Fans, und ich mag die Serie zumindest sehr, sicher ein interessanter Titel, aber mir passiert da bisher zu wenig und das, was passiert, ist mir nicht interessant genug. Es fehlen die Gruppendynamik und die Sympathie der Figuren, denn Will Buyers leider trotz seiner Schlüsselrolle nicht die interessanteste der Figuren. An dem Umstand kann Jodie Houser mit den ersten drei Heften für mich nichts ändern.

Damit liege ich inhaltlich sehr nahe an meiner Kritik und Einschätzung nach Stranger Things #1. Schade.

Will cries a lot.

Actually some cool POV for what Will experiences on his end, but oh man, I wanted so much more. More creatures, more landscape features. At least we know why he's so damned traumatized. One issue left.

I like the concept of this telling what happened to Will during the events of the season, however this really couldn’t fit into an oversized one shot if I’m honest.

I’m a big time fan of the show. Watched it multiple times over and consider myself more than your average, run of the mill fan.

That being said, I picked up issues 1-4 at my local comic shop to see if there was something worthwhile that I may have missed to build on the ST world. Sadly, don’t think I missed much.

While it is cool to see what went on with Will while he was trapped in the upside down, I think this was nothing overly cool or interesting. It’s primarily just internal monologues that connect scenes everyone is already familiar with from Season 1.

Since I do love the subject matter, it wasn’t a total waste. The images were above average and this is of course an alternate view of one of my favorite stories ever told. It just doesn’t do anything really special or new.

Worth a read for sure, but I probably wouldn’t pay cover price for them again. Read it or not, that’s up to you but know you won’t miss a ton either way.

(Posting this same review for issues #1-4 as I read them all at once and none stood out over the others.)

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.

Another really good issue of this, and I'm still loving it. This one really shows us just how brave Will was. Watching the first season, you don't get the idea that Will really did all that much while he was stuck in the Upside Down, but man, this is proving that totally wrong. He's running all over town, doing whatever he needs to stay safe and to try and find another door back to the real world - and on top of that, now he's realizing he has to do everything he can to keep the people he cares for back home safe as well by drawing danger to himself! If season two didn't make you seriously love Will Byers, this series will.

We are really enjoying this story line. Will is a great character and the story is exciting. The actions he takes in the Upside Down to help others (whether it is to console those near death or help others escape) does make him a true hero of the story. Exciting adventures and the cliff hanger of each book keeps us hooked.

"Stranger Things, and the other side #3," by Jody Houser, is a multiple part story. Since I have not read book 1 & 2 I am unsure exactly what is happening, but I do know that the mother is trying to contact her son, Will, in another dimension. Will wants to get back to his Mom but something is after him and if he is not careful he will lose his opportunity to get back to his Mom.

Really enjoying these comics. Will is so adorable and I love seeing things from his POV. His actions in the UD changed the course of the story and affected the lives of the people looking for him. Him saving Nancy's life was so sweet!

The story improved a bit this issue and I am looking forward to the next issue

I can only imagine how sad and alone poor Will Byers felt while in the upside down.
THE ART IS GETTING BETTER AND BETTER
