While we continue to wait for the Netflix streaming service to specify exactly when this summer they’ll be releasing Stranger Things season 4, Dark Horse Comics has announced that they’ll be bringing us a four-issue miniseries called Stranger Things: Kamchatka, with the first issue scheduled to reach store shelves on March 23rd.
Coming from the creative team of writer Michael Moreci (Wasted Space, The Plot), artist Todor Hristov (Stranger Things: Halloween Special One Shot), colorist Dan Jackson (The Strain, Stranger Things: Erica the Great), and letterer Nate Piekos (The Umbrella Academy, Black Hammer Reborn), Stranger Things: Kamchatka has the following synopsis:
A Russian scientist is kidnapped by Soviet troops, leaving nothing for his two teenage children but a mysterious case and a whole lot of questions. While their father is dragooned into weaponizing a monster brought back from the US, the two teenagers embark on a harrowing and perilous journey to find him, with help from an unlikely ally: an old but extremely deadly former KGB spy.
Stranger Things season 4 will find that David Harbour’s character Hopper is
imprisoned far from home in the snowy wasteland of Kamchatka, where he will face dangers both human… and other.
Meanwhile, back in the states, a new horror is beginning to surface, something long buried, something that connects everything.
Harbour is joined in the cast by returning stars Finn Wolfhard, Millie Bobby Brown, Joe Keery, Gaten Matarazzo, Caleb McLaughlin, Noah Schnapp, Sadie Sink, Maya Hawke, Priah Ferguson, Winona Ryder, Natalia Dyer, Charlie Heaton, Cara Buono, and Brett Gelman, as well as new additions Robert Englund, Amybeth McNulty, Myles Truitt, Regina Ting Chen, Grace Van Dien, Jamie Campbell Bower, Eduardo Franco, Joseph Quinn, Tom Wlaschiha, Sherman Augustus, Mason Dye, Nikola Djuricko, and Levon Hawke. Matthew Modine may be in the mix as well.
The first issue of Stranger Things: Kamchatka will have four different covers to choose from, provided by Marc Aspinall, Elizabeth Beals, Hayden Sherman, and Rafael Albuquerque. These covers can be seen below:
