New animated series Stranger Things: Tales From ‘85 is on the cover of SFX 404 (click here to get a better look at the wrap). Tear open the packaging (after purchase... don’t get thrown out of TG Jones by security, eh?) and you’ll find one of three covers: will you get the boys, the girls, or the monsters? The issue comes with three gifts: a double-sided A2 poster, an A4 art card, and a sheet of seven stickers.

Stranger Things: Tales From '85
Inside, we speak to showrunner Eric Robles about the Hawkins gang’s continuing adventures, for an eight-page feature.
The Mandalorian And Grogu
After three seasons on TV, Pedro Pascal’s bounty hunter Din Djarin and his ward “Baby Yoda” are transferring to the big screen. We talk to director and co-writer Jon Favreau, who promises they’ve tried to “pull out all the stops”.
Spider-Noir
Nicolas Cage has finally been cast as the lead in a TV series! Set in an alternate 1930s New York City, Spider-Noir centres on an ageing private investigator who must adopt the hero mantle of “The Spider” once more. We find out what’s in store from co-showrunner Oren Uziel.
Good Omens
After two six-episode series, the bromance of angel Aziraphale and demon Crowley is wrapping up with a feature-length special. We catch up with director Rachel Talalay.
Rose Of Nevada
Mark Jenkin (Bait, Enys Men) has got his windup Bolex camera out again for another Cornish tale – the story of a fishing boat which takes its crew back in time to the ‘90s. We talk Quantum Leap, food banks and New Fast Automatic Daffodils with the writer/director.
Horror Bonanza!
As we’re halfway to Halloween (that’s a thing now, apparently), this bumper 116-page issue also has horror coverage in spades. To start with, we visit the set of From’s fourth season. We also speak to the directors of new horrors Obsession, Hokum and Corporate Retreat; talk with the cast and crew of horror-comedy series Widow’s Bay; preview a musical version of The Lost Boys; share “Jimmy” actor Sam Locke’s personal snaps from shooting 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple; and delve into a version of Hocus Pocus that never was, with details of an early draft and storyboard images.
And that’s not all, feature-wise! We also speak to Ben Nedivi and Matt Wolpert, the co-creators of USSR-set For All Mankind spinoff Star City, profile novelist Fonda Lee, and get Sylvain Neuvel to answer our author questionnaire.
Red Alert
And the big features are just the tip of the iceberg! As ever, our news section, Red Alert, is crammed with insights into yet more movies, TV shows, comics and books. In the spotlight this month: videogame movie sequel Mortal Kombat II, the Science Museum’s new Star Trek celebration, season two of Devil May Cry, animated series My Brother The Minotaur, the latest Event Horizon and Star Wars comics, and plenty more.
