NYCC | Second Stranger Things + Dungeons & Dragons miniseries will debut next year

‘The Rise of Hellfire’ reveals the secret origin of Eddie Munson and his D&D group.

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. Diego Galindo also returns to illustrate it, joined by colorist Diana Sousa and letterer Nate Piekos. While the previous series was co-published by IDW, the Dungeons & Dragons license is now with Dark Horse Comics, which makes this their first official D&D comic.

“As soon as I saw Stranger Things season 4, I knew the story of Eddie Munson and the Hellfire Club would be a perfect sequel to our Stranger Things and Dungeons & Dragons miniseries,” Houser said. “Both Eric and I are very familiar with how D&D forges friendships and storytellers, and it’s been wonderful exploring Hawkins through that lens.”

Greg Pak + Diego Galindo bring ‘Lawful’ to BOOM! Studios

The new series explores the difference between what’s right and what’s the law.

Imagine if the rules Pinocchio lived by applied to a whole city, but instead of their noses growing when they lied, they slowly transformed into monsters. That’s the premise behind Lawful, a new series coming from BOOM! Studios this summer.

Greg Pak of Incredible Hercules and Mech Cadet Yu fame and Diego Galindo, artist of Stranger Things: The Voyage, team up for a new series about a city where breaking the law comes with an interesting price.

Lawful may be simultaneously one of the most personal and fantastical stories I’ve ever written, and I’m so grateful to be working with this brilliant team to bring it to life,” Pak said. “If you’re a fan of gorgeous, lush, organic art that takes you somewhere you’ve never been and tales of young heroes struggling to do the right thing in a world of impossible mandates, this book is for you.”
