Stranger Things 5 Volume 1 Is A Great Start, With Old Problems (Review)

Vecna, or Henry Creel as we know him (played by Jamie Campbell Bower), actually succeeded in opening a huge gateway to the Upside Down right in town, and naturally, the military has moved in. He’s badly hurt from the last showdown, so he’s laying low, but everyone in Hawkins is dealing with this new military presence and trying to keep Eleven (Millie Bobby Brown) safe.
