Growing up on Goosebumps and loving it as much as I did (and still do, tbh), I was so excited to see that a graphic novel series had kicked off, and I wasn't disappointed at all! This was just like the books: cheesy, campy, comedic, and cute, with a fun little cliffhanger ending. Most of all, I am stunned that I got to grow up to see a legit Goosebumps title, with R.L. Stine's blessing and everything, featuring queer girls as main characters (and girls of color, at that!). I can't describe how big of a deal this feels like to me. When I can see diverse rep being normalized even in my own childhood faves or their spin-offs, that just means so much to me. Thank you to Jen Vaughn & Michelle Wong for revitalizing this lovable, classic kids' horror series and giving it such a beautiful breath of fresh air. ♥
