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.

The first two stories were really good, even as an adult. The third was the most predictable and one I'm pretty sure I would have predicted as a kid. The fourth felt like a flimsy shell of my favorite Goosebumps stories.
