Goosebumps: Secrets of the Swamp » Marieke Nijkamp, YA author

Reader beware, you’re in for a scare! The kid-friendly horror series returns with a spooky new comic miniseries from New York Times bestselling YA author Marieke Nijkamp and artist Yasmin Flores Montanez.

When twelve-year-old Blake is shipped away to stay with her weird aunt in Fever Swamp for the summer, she expects her weeks to be filled with video games, mosquito bites, and a whole lot of nothing. Instead, she finds herself in a spooky turf war between wolf hunters and werewolves!

Blake’s never let anything–including her prosthetic hand–slow her down or stop her from crushing her opponents in a game of Lore Hunter, but real-life monsters on all sides take danger and fear to a whole new level. Blake will need to use all of her gaming skills to escape alive in this all-ages scarefest from New York Times bestselling author Marieke Nijkamp (This Is Where It Ends, Before I Let Go) and artist Yasmin Flores Montanez (Marvel Action: Captain Marvel, Tilly).

Goosebumps: Secrets of the Swap #1 offers readers a taste of thrills to come, without giving too much away. Grab yourself a flashlight and a water bottle, the swamp is full of secrets!
– The Brazen Bull

Goosebumps: Secrets of the Swamp #1 is part of a franchise where, let’s face it, we kind of know what to expect in the big picture. But where they stand out is in the individual execution, in the choices of characters, and in balancing horror tropes with a younger audience in mind. This one is off to a solid start.

Goosebumps: Secrets of the Swamp #1 is a great start to another Goosebumps comic book volume. From the first issue, this might be my favorite one so far. Travel back to Fever Swamp and remember “who’s afraid of the big bad wolf?”.
– Word of the Nerd

Goosebumps carries with it a certain weight. It’s a legendary series of young adult novels that defined a generation. Secrets of the Swamp continues that tradition in spectacular fashion, delivering a healthy amount of scares that all ages can enjoy.
– Horror DNA

Goosebumps: Secrets of the Swamp #1 is a strong start to a YA horror story that can set a good example as to how to get the most out of the genre. The creative team for this comic is in perfect synchronization and it shows. Stay with this comic. There’s a lot of horror to be had with the promise of more to come.

[Goosebumps: Secrets of the Swamp #2 has] a nice eerie, spooky feel to it. The werewolf designs are good, and for younger readers, I can see this being a good horror medium for them.
– Word of the Nerd

Goosebumps: Secrets of the Swamp #3 does a charming job of turning a monster trope inside out and finding the humanity in it, but in a good way.

Thanks to stunning revelations in the last issue and a cliffhanger that promised excitement to come, I’ve been eagerly awaiting [Goosebumps: Secrets of the Swamp #4], and the team on this book have certainly not let me down, delivering what might be one of the best issue of Goosebumps yet.
– Set The Tape

Goosebumps: Secrets of the Swamp #5 is a nice conclusion to a not-so-typical werewolf story that is written for younger readers. It’s thoughtful and is just a little bit scary. Readers can identify with the characters and I have to admit, I really like the sympathetic werewolves.
– Major Spoilers

A dynamic and thoughtful action story with a laudable but never preachy message about looking beyond prejudices and standing up to injustice. Fans of IDW’s “Goosebumps” graphic novels or of Scholastic’s older graphic novel adaptations of the series will enjoy this new offering.
