Paper Girls is a comic series following the story of four 12-year-old newspaper delivery girls. It's the year 1988, on the day after Halloween; strange and unusual behavior lingers. The paper girls encounter a group of 'costumed' boys who steal their walkie-talkies. It turns out this group of boys are tech-talking beings, raging in an interdimensional war, putting the girls in great danger.
Stephen's mother's mental illness has left the family in financial stress. As a result, Stephen and his father move from Denver to the grandmother's house in a small town of Spencer, Michigan. The Cemetery Boys covers a dark secret. Just as Stephen is getting well-situated, making friends with punk girl Cara and her brother Devon, they are soon thrown in danger involving a sacrifice to mythical "Winged Ones."
It's the summer of 1958. A string of murders plagues the Midwest, but the real shocker is the bodies are found in their homes and cars with no trace of blood!

He yearns to be a journalist and is instantly on the case. It all boils down to what really happened that summer. And how did one girl end up in the middle of all these bodies?
This post wouldn't be complete without mentioning the graphic novel adaption of Stranger Things. After defeating the Demogorgon, Mike, Lucas, Dustin & Will struggle adjusting to their normal lives.
