Stranger Things' Eddie Munson is set to return after Season 4, but it won't be for the series' epic finale coming out next year. Instead, he will return for a comic book prequel. Perhaps it isn't exactly what fans wanted. And maybe we're getting ahead of ourselves; things have been a bit secretive on the set where Stranger Things Season 5 is being shot, and Eddie could return in some form. But for now, all we have is The Rise of Hellfire.

As reported by Digital Spy, Dark Horse Comics (famous for publishing offshoot comic books based on IPs like Star Wars and Buffy the Vampire Slayer) has teamed up with Dungeons & Dragons for a new prequel comic book that will feature the leader of the Hellfire Club, the group of misfits that made nerds cool in Season 4 of Stranger Things. In the series, fans will be able to see how it...

A father and son's multi-state crime spree left a North Carolina couple dead and their home torched before the suspects were caught after a New Year's Day shootout that wounded two police officers in West Virginia, authorities said Friday. Family and friends in rural Granville County, North Carolina, expressed shock at the deaths of the couple, a retired 73-year-old volunteer firefighter and 62-year-old nurse.

Now for something a little different…having my own goals in the comic book industry and being an avid con goer. It didn’t take long for me to track down the writer for this series and get some interview questions going for him via Facebook. I doubt I touched on every subject that’s eating you guys alive, but I did touch on the curiosities that I had. Here is my interview with Arcadian Knights writer Garrett Free.

Writer: Garrett Free

Artist: Milan Andjelkovic

Publisher: Wmd Comics

Arcadian Knights is a brutal ride through hell and back. Take a hint of Inglorious Basterds and cradle it nicely next to a cult classic monster gymbag stuffed with a smidge of antihero.
