So I have this tendency to be Ms. Tardy-To-The-Party, finding interesting stuff long after it's been out for a while and everyone's gone bonkers over it (the most famous example of this being Hamilton). This is no exception. This graphic novel appeared in 2015 and I'm only just now discovering it.
Sadly, I didn't miss much. While the artwork is good - the colors are great, and everything is very well-drawn - the story just did nothing for me in capturing the hilarious nonsense of the show's characters. I grew up with SBTB (I was credulous enough as a kid to believe that the show was an accurate representation of high school - boy was I shocked when I actually got there), and my memories of that show are some of my most treasured ones from my childhood. This graphic novel, sadly, did nothing in evoking those memories.

It just wasn't what I wanted, so I meant the one-star rating literally as "I didn't like it." I'm not saying other people shouldn't read it, and I'm not saying that other people shouldn't like it. It just wasn't what I wanted. My expectations were too high, I guess.

I received a copy from Netgalley, in exchange for an honest review.
This is a cute read. Saved by the Bell was one of my favourite TV shows when I was growing up. I still watch it whenever it is on TV. This graphic novel consists of many short stories. I loved how Zack and Slater were fighting for Kelly's affections. Screech was fighting for Lisa's heart. Jessie was still strong headed. Recommended for fans of the TV show. Overall, an awesome and funny read.

Do you remember Saved By the Bell? Well meet Saved By the Bell, but with a present day twist. If you were a fan of the original TV show, you will most likely love this comic. If you don't know Saved By the Bell, but like high school comedies then still check this out. The art style take a little bit of time to get used to, but the story was cheesy and well worth it.

This was cheesy as all get out. I really enjoyed the show when it was on so I thought I would like the comic book. I really tried to like it but it just didn't happen. It wasn't a good representation of the show or the characters I loved. I would not recommend it to anyone.

Saved by the Bell Comic book was a quick enjoyable read. Sadly I have not see the classic TV show (But it’s on my watch list) I figured this book would be a way to kind of dip into the world. I thought that this would be on long story but it wasn’t there was about eight or nine short stories. All basted around the six main character. The only problem I have with this was there was now real couples. And two of the stories was based on the of the main characters, two of the guys trying to get Kelly. My favorite character would have to of been Jessie we kinda see through the same eyes.My favorite story in this I think would have to be the cheerleading and how it’s a spot. (I believe it is. My sister was a cheerleading in High School and she had to put in long hours and lots of work.)
The art is amazing. The bright colors brought the characters to life. Each character has their own style. The style of the world and the layout made reading all the better!
I also enjoy how this was based on a 80's -90's TV but updated into today’s world. The cell phones, tables, laptops, video internet website, ect. But the style and the feel of it has that 80's -90's hit to it.
Over all I enjoy this quick read and hope fans of the TV show or of fans of 80's -90's will enjoy this book!
