Stranger Things: Afterschool Adventures Omnibus (Graphic Novel)

​The first omnibus of Stranger Things comics was actually rather decent, but this one didn’t quite maintain the quality. Somehow the decision was made to reduce the excitement and increase the kiddiness of it all, so that the three stories here are very young reading. Cute and fans of the show might still enjoy them, but overall, too light, with the cute leaning into cutesy, especially with the last story of Erica The Great.  
Presumably, these comics will continue, because the spring of nostalgia is strong, and the show is likely to take its time returning for the final season. But you can skip this one and miss out on nothing. If you’re a completist, though, take comfort in knowing it’s only about 50% the size of its predecessor and reads very quickly.
