Screen Rant has the exclusive announcement for Stranger Things: Kamchatka, an all-new series from Dark Horse. This shocking new chapter of the Stranger Things universe will be set in Russia, and involves a mystery that can only be solved by the children of a scientist who has strangely disappeared. Screen Rant is proud to share this sneak preview at the upcoming series and show off some of its beautiful, yet terrifying, covers.

This addition to the Stranger Things universe is the latest comic book-based expansion of the beloved Netflix franchise. The various tie-in miniseries have elaborated on details that haven’t been examined in the show, such as Will Beyers’ time in the Upside Down or introducing other test subjects from the same experiment as Eleven. As the show prepares to spend time in Russia in the upcoming fourth season, Dark Horse brings an adventure that will satisfy any fan that just can’t wait for next summer.

Stranger Things: Kamchatka is bringing an all-star team to the table, many of whom have worked on previous Stranger Things books. Penning the comic will be Michael Moreci, writer of The Plot and Wasted Space. Pencils will be done by Todor Hristov, artist for Stranger Things: Halloween One Shot. Colors will be provided by Dan Jackson who worked on The Strain and Stranger Things: Erica the Great. Rounding out the crew is letterer Nate Piekos of The Umbrella Academy and Black Hammer: Reborn. See below for a look at the various covers for Stranger Things: Kamchatka’s first exciting issue!

In a statement prepared by Dark Horse, the series is pitched as “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.“.

The pitch and covers should have Stranger Things fan already connecting the dots and storming to social media to theorize. Viewers of the show may recall the heavy military presence during season 3, when the sleepy town of Hawkins is invaded by Russian soldiers who attempt to open a new portal to the Upside Down. Not to mention the Demogorgon seen in a gulag during the season’s epic cliffhanger, which made the internet go wild with speculation. It looks like fans will finally be getting some answers, or at least some backstory, in comic book form with Stranger Things: Kamchatka.

Hype is already being built for summer 2022’s premiere of Stranger Things season 4 and fans eager for the return can whet their appetite with Stranger Things: Kamchatka. The Dark Horse Comics series arrives March 23, 2022 and is now available for pre-order from your local comic book store.
