Really cool to see some of the other kids in the lab, and low key didn't know Eleven was supposed to be blonde?

This is the first graphic novel I've read in a long time so it was interesting to jump back into this format of storytelling. I'm not the biggest fan of the art style used here for the majority of the story, but I loved the full page illustrations.

This story gave an interesting insight to what life was like for some of the other kids in the laboratory and what sorts if powers they had. You get a couple of brief glimpses of Eleven too.

I thought this was a fun addition to the TV series and would definitely be interested in reading more of them.

I assumed this was going to be a disappointment but it ended up being a really solid story. I especially loved the connections to the events in the show.

 Fairly short, but a cool story nonetheless. Some of the art included is really good. I assume this is meant to be canon but I like that it exists separately in its own little bubble. I would definitely recommend any Stranger Things fans check this out.

It wasn’t the greatest but it wasn’t the worst.

This one was pretty good, I liked the idea of seeing another kid’s POV of the experiments but it was a little confusing at times
Spoiler and now we can’t really get an answer since Six/Francine is dead 🤷‍♀️ 
 
I think it might be interesting for them to go into the other kids more but if they don’t I’d get why
Spoiler (it might be hard to get people invested if their stories all end with death)
