This was another just okay Stranger Things spin off. It makes you wanna feel a little for the bully character from season one, but the back and forth of him seeming to redeem himself and then swiftly being a horrible bully was tough.

Meh. Too preachy. Bully gets his and repents. Kinda boring.
The whole box turned out to be too much of that, too little actual excitement.

A quick read about the bully kid, Troy, from the first 2 seasons of Stranger Things.
We get to see some familiar scenes from a different POV and why the kid isn't around anymore in season 3.
I especially love the art in these ST graphic novels

The Bully was just what I needed for my Stranger Things fix. I’ve been missing this Netflix show so much this summer!

Short and sweet story that takes place during season 2 and gives some closure to a couple of background characters you didn't really care all that much about up until this point.
Not rating it - I read it for fun extra Stranger Things content and I got that so job success.
(Really interesting light shed on Troy as a character beneath just being the asshole who pees himself in season one)

Summary:
We all know about the bullies in Stranger Things. They made Will's life a nightmare. Well, that is, they did. Then Eleven stepped in and did a few things to make them more hesitant about their actions. Sort of.
As it turns out, Troy has been struggling a lot with what happened to him, and he's not the type of guy to just let things go. He was raised to finish what he started. He just doesn't quite know how to deal with this situation.
Review:
Most of the time, I really enjoy tie-in graphic novels and the like. That said, I feel like I could have skipped Stranger Things: The Bully and not felt like I was missing out. It is a bit of a "take it or leave it" sort of story; forgive me for saying.
As the title indicates, this story is all about the bullies in the Stranger Things series. Or rather, it really focuses on one of the two (the lead bully), Troy. It was nice to learn a bit about Troy's backstory and see his thought processes here and there.
That said, Troy's story didn't actually add anything to the world. Most of us could have guessed about Troy's backstory (at least a bit), and the ending didn't feel satisfying in any real way. Though we are left hoping that Troy will learn how to change, so that's something?
