Publisher's Description

The comics based on the hit Netflix series delve into B-movie horror nostalgia when Dustin goes to summer camp, confronts a sinister figure in an Albert Einstein mask, and joins forces with Suzie to solve mysterious disappearances.

Dustin arrives at Camp Know Where to navigate the new social hierarchy without the support of his Hawkins adventuring party. While also faced with nerdy bullies, a new menace haunts the young scientists and camp counselors. A mysterious figure with sinister intent arrives to disrupt the serene woodland scene. When camp counselors start to disappear, the solution won't take rocket science, but Dustin will have to get on the same wavelength as Suzie and the other campers before tensions reach a boiling point.

Writer Jody Houser (Critical Role, Stranger Things: Into the Fire) returns with Edgar Salazar and Keith Champagne (Stranger Things: SIX) to create a new miniseries in the Stranger Things universe, taking place between seasons two and three of the hit Netflix show.

Collects Stranger Things: Science Camp #1-#4.

My Thoughts

I received an eARC courtesy of Dark Horse Books via Edelweiss in exchange for my honest review.

Will non-fans of the show enjoy this? I don't know. But who cares about them anyway?

This was quite the thrill ride and honestly I needed to know about Dustin's adventures at camp. Fantastic & I will definitely be adding it to my library's collection.

For Libraries: This is technically classified as adult, but I don't have any content concerns about this being in a YA section.
