"Jody Houser is the perfect writer for this series, not only because she is clearly a fan, but also because of her well-documented love of tabletop games, which she brings heavily into play in this issue. Stefano Martino’s pencil work is loose, which creates an airy, dreamlike quality to the pages. This look and feel works really well once Will is in the Upside Down. All in all, while we were definitely marks for this book before it even launched, we’re happy to report that it serves the Strange Things mythos wonderfully."

"A side story worthy of the Netflix series' success, "Stranger Things" #1 blends 80s comic aesthetic with modern sensibilities to triumphant effect." -Multiversiry Comics
"The hallmark of a good adaptation: it expands upon the source material and makes you want to return to it." -Outright Geekery
“Stranger Things #1 may not be breaking any boundaries as far as its source material is concerned. But if you're a sucker for this tale of friendship and interdimensional monsters it will scratch that itch nicely. Hopefully as it progresses its top-flight creative team will have more of a chance to cast a die of their own, charting a thrilling new path both for this world and its heroes.” -Doom Rocket
"With nearly a month before its release, Stranger Things should be on the pull list of any fan of the show, as well as fans of the genre in general. If you like strong narrative and clean, beautiful imagery, Stranger Things is just the series for you!” -Comic-Watch
