It (comic)

It is an American comic book series based on the Stephen King novel of the same name. The novel is a reimagining/retelling of the original novel and is split into two parts, one half following the characters as children and the second following them as adults.

Characters

 * The Losers Club
 * William "Bill" Denbrough - the de-facto leader of the Losers who is a child genius with a massive stutter that he has no control over. In Part I, he has an obsession with finding his brother, Georgie. In Part II, he has grown up to become a best-selling horror author.
 * Benjamin "Ben" Hanscom - the new kid in Derry who has a fascination with Derry's odd and disturbing history. In Part I, he is often made fun of for being fat. In Part II, he has slimmed down and become the owner of a successful architecture company.
 * Stanley "Stan" Uris - one of the very few Jews in Derry who is bullied for his faith. In Part I, he suffers OCD and is a skeptic that even doubts his own religion. He is barely seen in Part II.
 * Michael "Mike" Hanlon - an African-American person in Derry who is often picked on for his race. In Part I, he is fairly cowardly and has a fear of blood. In Part II, he has grown to become a hardboiled and stern-minded detective.
 * Edward "Eddie" Kaspbrak - a shy hypochondriac who thinks he has asthma and has an obsession with his mother. In Part I, he is cowardly and fearful of everything. In Part II, he hasn't changed much but is a bit more talkative.
 * Richard "Richie" Tozier - a self-proclaimed jokester that has a tendency to talk a lot and swear quite a bit. In Part I, he is fond of making quips and makes jokes at the wrong time. In Part II, he has channeled this into becoming a comedian.
 * Beverly "Bev" Marsh - the only female member of the Losers who is able to stay calm in bad situations and is very loyal to her friends. In Part I, she is bullied by her peers and has a father that lusts after her. In Part II, she has become a fashion designer with an abusive husband.
 * "It"/Pennywise the Dancing Clown - the main antagonist of the comic who is a mysterious entity in the form of a clown that feeds on people's fears and has a particular focus on children.
 * Henry Bowers - the secondary antagonist of the comic who, in Part I, is the leader of the Bowers Gang, a gang of bullies that target the Losers Club. In Part II, Bowers has gone mad due to his encounter with Pennywise and has made it his goal to kill the Losers.
