Plot

Title: “The Other Side” The Hawkins National Laboratory has a dark secret, and no one knows what’s going on inside its walls. All they know is that strange things happen in the town of Hawkins, Indiana, and they seem to be connected to the government facility. On the other side of the world, in the Soviet Union, an experiment of their own is underway. A group of scientists has been working on a parallel project to the Hawkins lab, exploring a twisted world with its own horrors and secrets. But something has gone wrong. The experiment has gone too far, and the scientists have found themselves trapped on the other side, unable to escape. They quickly realize that they are not alone in this dark dimension, and they are being watched by a powerful and terrifying entity that seems to control everything on the other side. Back in Hawkins, a group of familiar faces are dealing with their own problems. Mike, Dustin, and Lucas are trying to adjust to a new school year after the events of the previous summer, while Eleven is learning to control her powers and navigate the complexities of being a normal teenager. But when strange occurrences start happening in Hawkins once again, the group realizes that they must investigate. What they discover leads them to the Hawkins lab and a shocking revelation that will change their lives forever. With the help of Will, who has been wrestling with his own demons since his time in the Upside Down, and new allies they meet along the way, the group embarks on a dangerous mission to save the scientists trapped on the other side. As they race against the clock to find a way to bring the lost souls home, they must also face the terrifying entity that is stalking them every step of the way. Can they uncover the secrets of the Hawkins lab and the Soviet experiment before it’s too late? In “The Other Side,” the stakes are higher than ever before, and the fate of two worlds hangs in the balance. The Stranger Things universe expands in ways that fans could never have imagined, taking them on a journey that will leave them breathless and yearning for more.

Production

The production of the Stranger Things: The Other Side comic series began shortly after the release of the show's highly anticipated third season. The team behind the series were eager to continue the story beyond the events of the show, exploring new plot points and characters in the form of a comic book. From the outset, the team at Dark Horse Comics, including writers Michael Moreci and Todor Hristov, knew that they had a lot of work cut out for them. They faced the challenge of staying true to the beloved characters and intricate plotlines developed in the show while also incorporating new aspects that would keep the series fresh and engaging. One of the most significant aspects of the production process was deciding on the visual style of the comic series. The team wanted the art to capture the nostalgic '80s feel of the show, while also telling its own story. Artist Todor Hristov was brought on to execute this vision, utilizing a bold, bright color palette and dynamic panel layouts to bring the world of the Upside Down to life. The writers took inspiration from the show's character-driven storytelling to craft the narrative of the comic series. Rather than relying heavily on action and suspense, they aimed to delve deeper into the characters' internal struggles and the relationships that bind them together. They also introduced new characters like Derek and Marcy, who provide a fresh perspective on the unfolding events. The series is set up as a prequel of sorts, taking place before the events of season four and exploring what the characters were up to during that time. This set up allowed the writers to delve into moments that may not have fit into the show's timeline without overwhelming the narrative. With every page of the comic series, the team behind the production took great care to make sure that their story was an authentic and compelling addition to the Stranger Things universe. While the series' storyline is still in progress, the reception so far has been largely positive. Fans of the show have praised the attention to detail and the authenticity of the characters and their motivations. Overall, the production of Stranger Things: The Other Side has been a labor of love for the team at Dark Horse Comics, who set out to expand the world of the show and give fans a new way to experience the Stranger Things universe. With the promise of more issues on the horizon, it's clear that the journey into the Upside Down is far from over.

Cultural impact

The world of Stranger Things has captivated audiences since its first season aired on Netflix back in July 2016. Since then, it has continued to grow its fan base with a string of successful seasons. However, the cultural impact of the quirky sci-fi/horror series has gone beyond the TV screen, and has been felt in a variety of areas, including fashion, music, and comic books. Dark Horse Comics' Stranger Things: The Other Side, is one of the many products of this success. Penned by Jody Houser and illustrated by Stefano Martino, The Other Side functions as a tie-in comic book series for Stranger Things that expands the universe of the show. The Other Side stands apart from other Stranger Things comics due to its focus on Will Byers and his time in the Upside Down. The comic opens with Will struggling to make sense of the world around him. The second chapter of the series introduces readers to a new character, named Six, who becomes his companion in the never-ending darkness of the Upside Down. As the series progresses, the duo fights to survive and looks for a way out. The Other Side allows fans more insight into the Upside Down. The illustrations of the abandoned and overgrown buildings are brought to life in a way that the TV screen might not have permitted. Comic books, in general, create a space for artists to elevate the level of details in the story-telling and interact with fans on a deeper level. The comic also delves into the emotional toll of what Will went through. It captures the trauma that the Byers family experienced throughout the first season, and continues to experience as the show progresses. By capturing this depth of emotion, Stranger Things: The Other Side adds another layer of realism to the universe of the hit series. Moreover, The Other Side expands the horizons of the Stranger Things universe and allows the producers and writers to explore even more stories about the show's characters. While not canonical, the comic is set in the same universe as the show and provides fans with new stories and experiences that cannot be found in the TV series. Thanks to the successes of Stranger Things, the comic book industry has experienced an elevation in sales. Favorites like Spider-Man, Batman, and Superman may still be at the top, but after creating more buzz with the arrival of series like Stranger Things, comic books have been introduced into a new wave of fans looking for something beyond the mainstream. This has been a welcome addition to the already enthusiastic comic book fan base. Stranger Things has also influenced fashion. The show's early 80s setting has been interpreted into popular fashion trends, on the runways and even down to street style. The clothes worn by the Hawkins crew, particularly those of Nancy and Jonathan, have become elements that fashion designers have incorporated into their designs and transformed into wearable options for people with different styles. Lastly, the show's memorable theme song composed by Michael Stein and Kyle Dixon has truly become its own subculture within the Stranger Things fandom. The synths and clanging guitars are a perfect complement to the show's sci-fi horror epicness. The retro-futuristic sound has even taken on a cult status with fans nostalgic for the nostalgia of the early 80s. Stranger Things has come a long way from its premiere season. The show has taken the world by storm and strived for more than just being a TV show. Stranger Things: The Other Side is testament to the success of the series and serves as a reminder of the impact of the Sci-Fi/horror epic on pop culture today.
