Notes[]
- An earlier comic miniseries, Stranger Things: SIX, introduced the main characters of Into the Fire.
- The canonicity of Into the Fire, SIX and the Stranger Things comics as whole was called into question when the fourth season failed to acknowledge the comic versions of Three, Six and Nine.
