It's been close to three years since the last season of Stranger Things. The mall-centric third volume left things on a bittersweet note: Hawkins had been saved and Eleven would finally get to live a normal life, but she, Will, Jonathan, and Joyce would have to relocate to California. On top of that, it seemed like Hopper had been killed, and Max had lost Billy to the Mind Flayer. Now, fans finally get to return to Hawkins to see where the story goes next, and it is to some truly dark places.
