   Summary

   It's 1993: five years since Vecna was defeated. Everyone has moved on from Hawkins, but Mike stayed behind. After four years of wallowing in regret and replaying the nightmares of the Upside Down & Vecna, Mike finally decided to move away from Hawkins.
   When he arrives in Indianapolis, Mike swiftly discovers that what he tried to run away from followed him. Mysterious new creatures have been attacking Indianapolis. To Mike's surprise, superheroes *do* exist and they exist in Indianapolis: a four-person group called "The Demolitionists". Violent creatures, D&D parallels, powers, and secret identities. Will Mike Wheeler the budding, determined journalist get to the bottom of it all?
