This was a delightful collection of the stories. I was quite a bit surprised at the third one with how it went because it was a lot different than the others I've read. A much different ending as well! I won't spoil it, but I enjoyed each story for what they were: terrifying.
May 18, 2025
TLDR: First story is alright but stupid, the second story is awful, and the third story is pretty good. All of them suffer from bad writing. All of them have bad/no gore.
Shout out to all of the artists who worked on this one. Ben Sawyer, Coryn MacPherson, Diana Camero, Eva De La Cruz, Judy Lai, Gonzalo Duarte, Taylor Esposito, and Dawn Guzzo. Great job guys. As for the actual stories, they were alright. I wasn’t expecting anything crazy and I didn’t get anything crazy. Novellas like what each story was based on probably benefit more from being on a page than being depicted in a comic, as at least in the former you can imagine how grotesque the characters are yourself. Speaking of gore, there was really none to speak of. The back of the book promises ‘terrifying tales that are enough to unsettle even the most hardened FNAF fans’ and I know that that’s all just marketing, but really? Terrifying tales? A guy gets cyberbullied by a watch. Some dude wins the lottery and becomes best friends with Balloon Boy. The actual gore that was shown was very very light. All of the blood looked more like chunky jello instead. Or like the tartares in Miitopia.
The first story was alright. The dialogue was awful, but that’s pretty consistent for all of the stories. They kind of had something going with the suspense of if Julius was really there or not, but it was undercut by him showing up and looking like he did. Then when he went to get revenge, the story kind of just ended. Mostly it feels like a waste of a good body horror concept.
Second one was so stupid. At no point did I feel any positive emotions towards Sergio, who was like if some dry wall put on pants and hated brussel sprouts. The self mutilation twist comes out of absolutely nowhere and doesn’t even land, considering it’s on screen for one panel and he isn’t even in focus. They should have done something like Sergio climbing into a burning car to get Balloon Boy out, or selling all of his earthly possessions in accordance to the toy’s demands or something. All of the stories have the same problem of the characters not questioning how weirdly malevolent these seemingly innocuous toys are, and while I understand that it would be bad content to have each of the characters go through the same realization, this story in particular really suffers from this not being explored. It just makes Sergio seem so stupid.
The third one was the best. We started getting into the weeds about survivors' guilt and living up to expectations as a single parent, and for a minute I got excited that we were going to go somewhere. And then Robert’s coworkers told him he was a ‘sad man eating a sad sandwich’ and then Freddy showed up and I was reminded that we were in a FNAF book. The rest of the story was still good, and I felt for Robert’s dilemma, even if him checking the watch issued a way more extreme reaction than it should have, regardless of whether or not he was in emotional distress.

Summary:
The world of Five Nights at Freddy’s is dark and ever-expanding, or so it seems. In addition to a massive collection of video games, there are novels and even graphic novels. Enter a set of three different tales.
Reed just wanted to hit back at his school bully, but he wasn’t prepared for what happened next. Meanwhile, Sergio becomes obsessed with a novelty toy. Finally, Robert just wanted to buy a cute little toy for his kid.
Review:
Okay, so first things first: I have a confession. I wanted to dive into reading the FNAF graphic novels, and I mistakenly thought I had grabbed the first in the set from the library. I was wrong, as this is actually the fourth. Since they’re all short stories, I’m super worried about it. I will go back and read the others, but today I’m just going to talk about Five Nights at Freddy's: Fazbear Frights Graphic Novel Collection Vol. 4. This volume is split into three short stories: The Breaking Wheel, Sergio’s Lucky Day, and The Cliffs.
The Breaking Wheel - Tonally, I think this short is my favorite. The Breaking Wheel has the most buildup and isn’t afraid to get graphic (it may be the darkest of this set, truth be told). The whole story revolves around a bully and his favorite victim. The ending is pretty in-keeping with FNAF finality, if you know what I mean.
Sergio’s Lucky Day - Anybody who has followed along with the FNAF series knows to have a healthy fear or suspicion of discarded toys. Even if you haven’t, there’s something creepy about older dolls, right? Anyway, Sergio’s Lucky Day plays along with this theme, as a character finds a novelty toy that ultimately takes over his life. It’s an okay read, but realistically, not the strongest, especially compared to other stories from this universe.
The Cliffs - Finally, there’s The Cliffs, which still hits that creepy spot but offers a very different experience from the other two. That’s probably why it’s the final one in the set, but maybe I’m reading into that too much.
Highlights:
Part of the FNAF World
YA Horror
Video Game Adaptation

A collection of three horror stories in a graphic novel collection. The first two stories were pretty graphic and had a use of “hell” in conversation in both stories.
1. Story #1: “The Breaking Wheel” — This story was very confusing and if what was portrayed in the story actually happened, it was very graphic. Having said that, it also did a good job of reminding people that we should not take vengeance into our own hands.
2. Story #2: “Sergio’s Lucky Day” — Never pick up a creepy doll that talks on its own. I thought this was rule #1 with horror. The story became really gruesome at the end. However, it also did a good job of expounding the truth that bigger and better is not always best.
3. Story #3: “The Cliffs” — This story was not graphic or gruesome, thankfully, but had another creepy toy in it. It was a reminder that even when grieving, there is a time that you need to learn to live again.
All-in-all, this book with its freaky bear on the cover would catch the eye of younger children, but it’s marked for 12+. It would be appropriate for the 12+ age, and not younger. Not my cup of tea, but I read it since it would be marketed at my next book fair. I will not be displaying this one.

I just finished reading the first one as I don't have the 2nd & 3rd one, but this one I actually enjoyed a lot more than the first. The story's are rushed still sadly, but they have more dynamic to the story. These 3 stories actually show hints of the origns or the starts of certain characters. They were more spooky, which I really enjoyed more of.
The 3 stories involve actual things that were very likely to happen before they were involved in the game universe. The first one was talked about the creation of exoskeltons. This one I actually really liked with the creepy effects they had with the character. I do like how this one went, and it gave you a glimpse of what exoskeletons originally were.
The second one involves I believe the origins where Balloon boy came from. Instead of him being called balloon boy, it was called Lucky boy. To be honest, the main character was a major prick, and I totally hated him. Don't worry he got what he deserved so that made me happy .
The final story explained the origin of the mini plush Freddie's. I actually really enjoyed how this one was built out at first but it soon got repetitive. It was definitely spooky and I enjoyed that aspect of it. Hopefully I can get my hands on the other ones soon so I can read them.

i usually don’t read horror stories that much, but i have to admit that these stories were a lot less scary than i anticipated.
an extremely addictive book, if not rather disturbing, but i’m glad to see some horror that is not mainly fixated on the whole “creepy victorian dolls & random disturbing monsters that pop out of nowhere.” although the breaking wheel and sergio’s lucky day went pretty close.
however, some plot-holes can be seen, as well as cases where things don’t exactly make sense.
don’t read this if you get scared easily, as there are some pretty disturbing & not exactly child-appropriate scenes.
still a good read though if you’re looking for something to entertain yourself ^^

Oh yeah this books goated for real. The “tales” where kind of disturbing but that might be cause I’m younger then the respective audience (am I using the word respective right?).
First Julian gets cooked by his own creation then cooked reed for cooking him in his creation. For sure some good body horror.
Next, seirigo finds this stupid looking balloon boy wannabe doll and then starts tricking him into cutting his nose open, his ears, and his head. (For a second I thought he turned into balloon boy or some crap like that but it was actually blood, looked like frozen jello tbh)
The last one was kind of depressing, a single father gets this toy Freddy for his son (this probably takes place before iPads) and then the kid goes missing. Then the father BURNS, SMASHES, AND STOMPS ON, AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST THROWS THE BEAR OFF A CLIFF💀. Seeing the burned bear was a bit disturbing but it leads to a happy ending after he finds the kid under a rock. (My dude went to visit Patrick star).
So this was a pretty good book. But I learned the hard way that you would not want to read the first story right before you go to sleep.

Thoughts on each short story:
The Breaking Wheel: Remote control robot controlling exoskeleton suit on someone 🤢 so graphic. I knew what was going to happen based on how the robot was moving but omg was not ready for this illustrations 😱
Sergio’s Lucky Day: “Lucky Boy” doll’s nefarious influences. Wow did not expect that ending… The story pacing was a little slow, but AH another graphic novel with gore/body horror. That kind of horror creeps me out the most, I think!
The Cliffs: Missing child and “are you cute or creepy” guardian Freddy bear. Yay a happy ending! This one was scary for the parenting aspect, but Fweddy was just trying to help, it seems.

The best one yet!
I’m an avid book reader and have read a ton of different genres including comics. When it comes to comic books I’m more into comedy or superheroes, such as, Archie and Marvel/DC books. I’ve recently started reading Freddy comics and I absolutely love this volume! The last story was amazing, I really enjoyed the ending and wasn’t expecting it. The artists for all the novels are exceptional!! I don’t usually write reviews for books since I read so many I usually just rate them and keep it moving. But as I previously stated I just started reading Freddy comics and I was captivated by all 3 shorts stories in this collection. Bravo!

ehhhhhh it was okay, I feel like these are kind of basic considering how crazy the whole FNAF storyline. I did really like the graphics though, those were pretty creepy.
It's like basic horror 101 though...don't mess with robot suits (reoccurring theme here), don't befriend weird creepy little dolls, and then again, don't let your children befriend weird creepy little dolls. My favorite was probably Sergio's Lucky Day, then The Breaking Wheel, and coming in last The Cliffs. I'll probably read the rest of them though because they are short, fun, and again the graphics are really cool.

June 10, 2024Some genuinely chilling stuff in here. Really creepy imagery that I’m sure would have freaked me out as a kid. (As it is, it made my eyes go wide as an adult.) The occasional plot thing didn’t make sense, but nothing too major that didn’t really matter in the overall atmosphere of that special flavor of FNaF spookiness.

Visually, I didn't really understand the ending to the first story, The Breaking Wheel.
The second story, Sergio's Lucky Day, was alright, I wouldn't say it was bad. This one had my favorite art style out of the three
The last one, The Cliffs, was my favorite out of the three. Short, but I liked it!

This one had the best illustrations out of the fazbear frights graphic novels the first story was creepy and didn’t make too much sense, the second one had a weird ending and wasn’t my favorite, the last one had a really good and thought out twist ending and was my favorite out of the three

story 1: 3/5 i liked the idea but it felt short
story 2: 5/5, i love to see a man go crazy! like how silly!! also FUCK BALLOON BOY he’s my least favorite one

The third story was my favorite out of this batch. Still a good read overall.

I love this book so many stories in one
July 4, 2024
3 and a half stars. The stories in this book are my favorite, there are very well done.
August 28, 2024
Wait, a fnaf story that actually had a happy ending??? And the animatronic was actually helpful?? 🤯
September 12, 2024
I love how it handled The Breaking Wheel. Felt The Cliffs was a bit weak but I feel like that's a story that's really hard to adapt. Loved the plush Freddy design though.

oh man the last one in this collection was great

Just the right amount of creepy. Better than the other volumes with good stories.

Goofy but enjoyable

Fnaf lore expedition! I do love seeing the graphic novels bringing to life the novels!
February 10, 2025
The best one yet imo. All the stories are upsetting and scary in this one. In general a big fan of the interpretation of fazbear entertainment in this universe as some sort of malignant entity that just messes with people. The last story in this collection is also emotionally compelling and the fear factor barely comes from the FNAF stuff more just the suicidal single dad. Also all the art was good. Good book. Big Fan. Best of the graphic novel collections yet I reckon
August 13, 2024
4th volume in the graphic novel series based around the characters in Five Nights at Freddy's lore. I always appreciate the varying art styles and mini-stories. In this volume, all the stories were fairly face-pased, but as always some were a little better than others.
