Another fun Goosebumps graphic novel re-vamp! This one was just alright for me as far as the storytelling went, but I definitely loved how diverse the cast of characters was. Most of the primary characters are BIPOC and the protagonist has a prosthetic arm, which I don't think I've ever seen in a graphic novel's main character and I thought was pretty great! Like the other graphic novels in the new Goosebumps line, this one is "inspired" by a Goosebumps book but is not a direct adaptation of Fever Swamp, for anyone curious about that. I think it's a great addition for new Goosebumps readers as well as those of us who still love the nostalgia, because while it is modern and very different from the old books, it has that really fun, high-stakes, creepy vibe that we all know and love from Stine's stories. ♥

I had a lot of fun reading this. Now I have very limited experience with Goosebumps as a whole so I’m not really able to compare it to the franchise but as a spooky comic for the target audience I think this has got to be a winner.
Let’s start with the art, it’s vibrant and engaging. Plus, every character gave me serious hair envy, like every character. So much brilliant hair…. So jealous.
Storywise I think this really works at being mysterious, spooky but also really having a good “heart”. It could have been cheesy, but it really didn’t read like that, instead it was fun, with some good chapter cliff-hangers and a teasing ending plus some meaningful character growth.
If all Goosebumps comics are like Secrets of the Swamp, then I will certainly be picking up more.

This summer, 12-year-old Blake is sent to her aunt's house in Fever Swamp, a town with its fair share of legends. But, Blake is no stranger to legends since she's one of the ranked players of the game Lore Hunter. When her aunt introduces her to Lily, a neighbor her same age (who just happens to be one of the all-time best Lore Hunter players) she finds herself out in the swamp at night trying to figure out just exactly what might be lurking in Fever Swamp.
I've loved Goosebumps for years and I was really in the mood for a quick graphic novel or comic so when I saw this on NetGalley, I was excited to give it a try. I had a lot of fun with this spooky tale, and it totally delivered what I was looking for. The art and the coloring were both well done and clearly matched the tone and vibes of the story. I especially liked the characters in this graphic novel because even though we only had a short time to discover them they were all distinctive both in their writing and in their design. I also really loved that we had some cool girls playing, and being great at, an online RPG- these are the kinds of stories I am here for right now. I thought that the swamp was an exciting and spooky setting to spend most of the story in and that it was artful how many details we were able to fill in about the town and characters while we were submerged in the trees.
Overall, I really enjoyed this graphic novel and I'm really interested to see what adventures happen to Blake next!

This is the first goosebumps graphic novel. It’s an original tale and not a graphic novel of an already existing tale. This is also not written by RL Stine. However, it was still a fantastic read. I find the scary aspects are not there, but the essence of horror is. This book is about creatures that go bump on a Moonlit night. This book is about werewolves and the swamp that protects them. One of the things I love about goosebumps is that they just don’t put forward a scary story, but they put forward a story with heart. The heart is very much seen in this book about the protection of family. This is a new great way to get kids interested in a series that’s 20 years old.

FINALLY! A Goosebumps graphic novel not adapted from Stine's work that still FEELS like a story Stine would have written! Absolutely loved it: felt like traditional Goosebumps.

It was ok. I love Goosebumps so I was a bit disappointed in this.

This was a fun and quick read. I enjoyed the twist it had and I loved the art style.

I didn’t realize how much I was enjoying this until it ended on a cliffhanger and I was irritated. Pretty solid storytelling, great cliffhanger. Not as spooky for kids as Goosebumps usually are but great nonetheless.

Finishing up my reads of all of the Goosebumps comics (until the Monster Blood Graphic Novel drops in September), I saved Secrets of the Swamp for last—and it was a decent way to leave the comics behind! I can officially say the IDW comics are vastly overhated, but nonetheless not masterpieces. This is easily the second best IDW Goosebumps comic. Starting off with positives, I like the main conflict and reveal halfway through the story. The switch of perspective is neat and it adds lore to Fever Swamp (yes, this is an in-universe Fever Swamp story). It’s nice that the author not only got extra pages to make something here, but they also were able to flesh it out decently well and have an overarching conflict between the line of what’s good vs what’s evil. The dialogue is good, that art is decent, and the characters are pretty good as well. As for negatives, I’ll start with a personal nitpick: F U R R I E S. Can I say, Barf Factory Supremo? The word sickens me and I didn’t want to bring it up, but I must: there’s furry ideas here, as one could expect with a story about… Sigma Alpha Kawaii Werwolves. There’s also some art shown by Bill Underwood that feels like a furry’s cum residue left in the pages of this book. What the fuck. Can anthro shit involving wolves be kept normal? Moving on from that little nitpick, the story feels like it left off halfway through. It kind of, just, cuts to the ending (which is a reference to another GB werewolf story, pretty cool). There’s unresolved tension and I don’t think we’ll ever get to see what becomes of it. Really disappointing there but, nonetheless, anime werewolf battle how cool. Final issue, Ginger girl is a fucking IDIOT. IH-DEE-IT. RETARD. SCUM. SHITHEAD. MORON. WENT TO JUPITER TO GET STUPIDER. She thinks life is a damn video game it just comes off sooooooo dumb. Anyways, 8/10. Didn’t expect to see a character with fake arm but ight. Furry balls draining machine.

With the rising popularity of graphic novels, it’s no surprise that Goosebumps books have grown into a graphic novel series. This particular book Goosebumps: Secrets of the Swamp by Marieke Nijkamp takes the original spookiness of a RL Stein Goosebumps novel and sets our heroines smack dab in the middle of the Fever Swamp. The Fever Swamp is taken directly from the original Goosebumps series, a creepy place that houses real life monsters.
Main character Blake is skeptical about visiting her Aunt near the Fever Swamp but her parent insists she make the trip. As a teen, she’d much rather play video games than visit people she doesn’t really have a connection to. Upon arrival, Blake meets Lily who challenges her to head into the swamp at night to track monsters. Blake, not wanting to seem afraid, agrees to meet Lily at night and the two head into the swamp armed with flashlights. Blake and Lilly find themselves caught between a turn war between werwolves and the people who hunt werwolves.
As a graphic novel, this is something both my tween and I adored. The coloring matches the spooky vibe of the book with lots of blueish grays and blacks. I liked that the main character had a disability (check out her futuristic prothetic arm) but that didn’t hinder her at all during her monster hunting. I also really appreciated the diversity with a Black main character who finds common ground with someone who she initially viewed as her competitor. Like a typical Goosebumps story, this ends on a bit of a cliff hanger and we are all looking forward to the next installment!

It takes the makers here only up to the second page for the first big reveal – they have given their heroine, Blake, a futuristic-looking, metallic artificial arm. Stuck for the summer with an aunt for reasons unspecified, she would have every reason to be arsey (in the comic book, everyone-must-shout-at-everyone world, that is, at least) when she is forced to befriend Lily, who is only the queen of the online game they have in common, Lore Hunt. Lily is determined to hunt the monsters that local legends say live in the local swamp – only not just the two of them will find out where Lore, legend and lycanthropy end and begin...
Luckily, the creators do more with the twists they can offer than just the artificial arm, which serves almost zero purpose. They do a lot more – and then bodge the results. The world's worst disguise? Check. A weird fixation on jumbo hairdos? Yup. A silly final sting? Here and a half, if that's even a phrase. Before then we get a truly dramatic book, right up there with the best of the comics I've seen for a young audience for many a year, but unfortunately that high-brow storybuilding nous cannot translate into fully coherent action. So yes, come to this for surprises – surprises with the way the book pans out as a story, and surprises from how variable the quality on offer is. When the pendulum stops swinging, it points at three and a half stars, but it was up and down most pronouncedly before then.

IMPRESSIONS
➽ I never read a Goosebumps novel, but this was still so much fun for me! 🥰 Secrets of the Swamp is about Blake, who has to stay with her aunt at the mysterious Fever Swamp and slowly finds out its secrets. I liked the art style and the story was perfect for Halloween! It's about , something I loved as I haven't read about this paranormal creature for ages and I like how it was executed here! I also loved that Blake was a gamer and tried to apply her video game knowlege - from her favorite Lore Hunters - in order to save her new friend. I lowkey want a sequel though, as the end was a bit of a cliffhanger 😱 I'll say that I also felt like the characters felt way older (which isn't a bad thing), I thought they were at least 15/16 and was surprised to find out that Blake is 12!

Thank you to Netgalley for a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
For me personally, a lot of graphic novels don't have enough plot or character development for a good story. This one unfortunately fell into that category.
I felt like we were thrown into a story already halfway through and not too much was well explained along the way. The characters kind of fell flat and I didn't have time to get attached to any of them.
I did like the artwork and think it was a really great style to go along with the story. I've never actually read a Goosebumps book because I was terrified of anything even the slightest bit scary when I was young, but I have watched the show and it did almost read like an episode of the show. The show kind of gave off more of a scare factor though.
While I didn't really feel to attached to any of the characters, I did like the wolf pack's loyalty to each other. The most important thing to them was to stay together and stay safe.
Overall, a cute spooky graphic novel, but I wish it had a little bit more.

Rating: 5/5 stars.
“Goosebumps: Secrets of the Swamp” by Marieke Nijkamp is a collection of the fourth arc of the Goosebumps comic series presented in a graphic novel format. This creepy tale is reminiscent of a vintage Goosebumps story. It is set in the classic location of Fever Swamp, from the 14th original Goosebumps book.
I absolutely adored this graphic novel. I loved the diversity in the characters, and that the main protagonist is a person with a disability, one of the first to be featured in the Goosebumps franchise. The main themes of resilience, bravery, and loyalty shine through the story and the characters. The plot is fast-paced and quite scary. The art style fits the spooky tone of the story very well. The standard Goosebumps twist ending brought a huge smile to my face.
This is one of my favourite books this year, and I highly recommend it to all young adult and adults, especially fans of horror or the Goosebumps franchise.

The Goosebumps graphic novel Secrets of the Swamp by Marieke Nijkamp and Yasmin Flores Montanez is a spooky fun tale.
Set near Fever Swamp (which you may recognize from the original Goosebumps series), the tale follows Blake, who has been sent to stay with her weird aunt for the summer. Supposedly, monsters roam Fever Swamp, and Blake's newfound companion Lily convinces her to come along on a nighttime expedition. Their trip goes perilously wrong. Will Blake's video game strategy skills be enough to get her out of an increasingly dangerous situation in real life?
I thoroughly enjoyed both the storyline and the art. What I loved most was the twist. There are monsters in Fever Swamp, but not necessarily the ones the reader is expecting. It provides a valuable lesson, namely that intolerance, not difference, is what we should be concerned about.
The story is targeted at a younger audience and certainly is suitable for children, but I'd recommend it to anyone who enjoys graphic novels and Goosebumps.

Blake is a gamer coming close to 2nd in a popular online game of spells and Monster Hunting, called Lore Hunt.
Now living with her aunt in a small town called Fever Swamp, she is encouraged to meet real teens her age. Little does she know she is about to meet Lily. THE Lily who is currently No.1 on Lore Hunt.
Lily is also keen to hunt real monsters. Blake scoffs at her but the swamp around the town is believed to have something strange within it.
Despite her misgivings, Blake can’t turn down Lili’s dare to go into the swamp with her. Deep in the dark trees one night they soon have more ‘Monsters’ than they could ever imagine, let alone play a game against.
Now putting all her gaming monster hunter skills to the test in reality, Blake wonders whether she’ll survive the night.
Following in the steps of R L Stine, Goosebumps – Secrets of the Swamp gives the reader lots of action, scares and dares, in a full colour Graphic Novel.

Blake is sent off to spend time with her aunt in Fever Swamp over summer. Blake is not excited to go her aunts house, she is dreading this summer vacation. Once Blake get's to her aunt's she meets Lilly. Blake and Lilly hit it off right away, having a conversation about the legend of the Fever Swamp monster. Lilly say's there are believed to be werewolves out around the swamp. Blake doesn't believe Lilly and says they should go check it out tonight.
Later that night Blake and Lilly are at the Swamp and hear smashing and a loud "AWWHOO". The werewolf then shifts back into a person and asks for Blake and Lilly's help to bring her back home because she had hurt her leg with the metal spray Lilly had sprayed at her. Once Lilly and Blake get the wolf home. They realize they just walked into a house full of wolves, with a weapon. What could happen next? Will Lilly and Blake become friends with the werewolves?

Goosebumps was my favorite series when I was littler. I am so pleased to see the series has adapted to the graphic novel form. I loved the artistic vision for this novel, but I already loved Marieke Nijkamp's style. I think the art fits perfectly with the narrative and the classic R.L. Stine feel.
The Secrets of the Swamp was such a delight. The main character, Blake, is super into a video game when she's sent to the swamp for the summer with her aunt. She meets the #1 slotted player from the game, Lily, in person and Blake is swept away on a swampy mystery. There are a few monsters lurking in the swamp and they aren't the werewolves.
I was expecting a little darker narrative and a bit more of a twist from a Goosebumps novel, but it was still fun.

Always nice to see Fever Swamp get some love, and I'm never going to say no to werewolves, but overall the story in this comic is pretty thin, uninspired, and not very scary. Granted, it's not necessarily required for a Goosebumps story to be scary, but when everything else is lacking, it'd at least be nice to have some proper spooks. Don't let the striking cover art fool you, the werewolves here are about as threatening as a teddy bear. The interior art is okay, but a little stiff and frequently off-model, with some characters looking almost indistinguishable from each other.
July 28, 2021
Overall I liked the story. The art also helped to convey the mood of the swamp. The characters were also likeable. I just found it surprising that there would be monster hunters in the Goosebumps universe.
My only complaint is that it could have been longer. I know the ending on a cliff hanger is regular Goosebumps fare, but I think it needed to be longer than 5 parts. It could still end on a cliffhanger but be longer.

Blake has been sent to her aunt's house who lives near Fever Swamp, a dark and scary swampland that locals believe houses monsters. Blake meets a new friend, Lily, who convinces her to explore the swamp and its legends. What befalls the two girls is not what they expected!
I think the age group this is geared toward will enjoy this. It's a quick, fun read. However, it's missing a lot of elements that would have made it a much more interesting and cohesive story.

I love a good Goosebumps story, especially if it's about werewolves. Secrets of the Swamp seems to have that sense of nostalgia, but somewhat predictable. Aside from that, because of the setting in Fever Swamp and the usage of the Wolf Skin, it is the perfect tribute for all Goosebumps werewolves and a good introduction for any Goosebump fan who wants to read about werewolves.
May 18, 2021
Felt too rushed. And everyone was way too chill. Maybe if this hadn't been a gn format it would have worked better for me? Part the the terror of Goosebumps is the not knowing, but with a gn (or at least the way this one was constructed) you can see it so that suspense is gone.
July 11, 2024
The artwork is fantastic. Beautiful color and detail. The story is very dull. Pages and pages of "we're not monsters, we just want to be safe." Over and over. The ending was a fun surprise but I won't continue with this series.

Vintage Goosebumps vibes galore, paired with representation, cute art and an unfortunately languidly-paced story

This might have been a 4 but the last 3 panels literally make no sense. It’s like it’s missing a few pages to flesh out the random 3 panels

Very cute kid-friendly horror comic. It was also a super quick read.
