I never realized how well these would work as comics. There’s a few tweaks and modernizing of the stories but for the most part they are close enough to the books.

I think the easiest one to swallow is Shocker on shock street. Solid artwork and the story flows well for this structure.

It’s interesting that all 4 stories were done by different artists. Most I didn’t know until I looked their stuff up.

Night of the Living Dummy is oddly the weakest of the bunch in every way. Of course this could be because Slappy is only a side character.

Ghost Beach is my favorite Goosebumps book and it’s simple story flows well and the art fit well.

Werewolf of Fever Swamp is a classic Goosebumps book so its great to see it here. Solid artwork but the conclusion flies by so fast in an otherwise bloated feeling story (here not the original book).

I don’t have time to constantly re-read the books so having them in a quicker digestive manner is great.

I loved Goosebumps in grade school and this graphic novel compilation of stories is awesome too! I wish I had a full collection of all the stories.

A Shocker On Shock Street
Okay what can I say about this one. It seems not a lot like the episode. And I love the way the art still is in this book. All of the creatures did not look like special effects. Okay I seen the episode, and it still got me knowing this kids are robot's. All in all this was a good one. Doe robot's the kids do seem life like. Makes me feel sad for Mr. Weight that he has to program kids to have a kid. Rate 3.5 stars

The Werewolf Of Fever Swamp
Okay wow I loved this one. I have never read the book book, but dang I want to so bad. I love wolves, and I love werewolves. I have seen the episode of this one, and it is so much different from what I have read. This sister is older and the dog's name is different. I really liked this one. I would say the only thing I didn't like was that it was not longer. And I love the end of this the werewolf passes the cruse to Grady. I love the quote at the end of the book. " Now I'm the werewolf of fever swamp". " AND I'M READY TO HUNT"! Rate 5.5 stars

Ghost Beach
Okay this one loved the story way better then the episode. The art work was so amazing love the design of the characters in this book. I haven't read the book book, but dang this is really wanted me to read them. This story was so good my heart was pounding, and I was thinking come on you don't know poor kids. Wow I don't remember the episode having a dog in it. Wow the guy inside of the book dang he was creepy looking, Rate 5.5 stars

Night Of The Living Dummy
Oh yeah I really liked this one. They way they did Slappy wow. I just got done reading the book book. Let me tell you wow its is so much like the book, but the only down side is that they have to shorten the story. I wish it would have been the whole book that would have been amazing. I cant wait to read more like this. I love the way Mr. Wood looked in this also he doesn't look like I thought he would. Then again there did the girls or there mom. They didn't show the dad in the story. Rate 5.5 stars

All in all I loved this and its something that I will be reading over and over again. And I would so recommend this book to anyone you wants to just have a quick read.
