Dark Horse Comics has announced a second Stranger Things and Dungeons & Dragons miniseries, set to arrive in stores next year. Subtitled The Rise of Hellfire, the series will explore the D&D origins of popular season 4 character Eddie Munson, including how he first met Lucas, Dustin and Mike.
The four-issue miniseries will be co-written by Jody Houser, who co-wrote the previous Stranger Things and Dungeons & Dragons miniseries, and Eric Campbell, writer of Dungeons & Dragons Worlds & Realms.
