Terror awaits all ye who read The Simpsons Treehouse of Horror: From Beyond the Grave. This collection of Simpsons Halloween comics contains 14 terrifying short stories. Varying in length and subject, the stories feature everything from mutated monsters, to cursed objects, to woodland fairies. Yet while it’s quite imaginative, the writing is fairly mediocre; due in part to the restrictions of the vignette structure. Also, the quality of the artwork can be really rough at times, and has no consistency in tone or style. Still, there are plenty of spooks and laughs to be had as the Simpsons get into all sorts of shenanigans in The Simpsons Treehouse of Horror: From Beyond the Grave.

It's a nice little read if you like The Simpsons and the Treehouse of Horror stories. The art style is nice, I especially liked the art from the last story about Willie, and the humor is decent. I liked some of the jokes and didn't care about the rest, which is the same reaction I have when I'm watching the show, so I can't complain. The stories are entertaining and as goofy as you would expect of Treehouse of Horror, so if you like them this is a good example of how they translate into the comic form.

I think my favorite thing about the Simpsons comics is that it really does feel like you are just reading a short skit from a real episode. The artwoek styles are always super fun to look at, and while some stories are just alright, these are always such a fun read if you grew up with the show lile I did. It's fun to read all the panels in the character's voices and see what the different artist and writers do!

Bought this for my sister’s birthday (she is a huge Simpsons and Halloween fan) and did a quick read through for a brain break. The comics are a mix of really funny and just okay. There is some nice artwork that if she chooses not to read the book, she may be able to frame.

2.5 the stories were a bit given and take, not particularly memorable, but some fun moments.

[Marc L. Rissmann · Rating 4 out of 5]

Very enjoyable. Some of the stories should have been used in one of the actual animated specials.

[Grayson · Rating 4 out of 5]

Love how dark the stories got at one point. Also love my brain for being able to read all the characters with their voices from the show. Def will pick up the other comics

Vi har fått in inköpsförslag på Simpsons och Rick and Morty på bibblan. Jag kanske inte kastade mig över den här men blev ändå rätt positivt överraskad. Egentligen så lyckas den väldigt väl med att göra tv-serien, och avsnitten med skräckparodier, väl.

Serien lyckas med vad den förutsätter sig att göra.

Det är en blandning av historier och teckningsstilar och några är riktigt bra medan endel kanske är lite sämre. Det beror säkert på vad man har för förhållande till filmerna som parodiseras.

Så serien är bra. Men det kanske inte blir något jättehögt betyg från mig även om jag ger den en väldigt stark trea.

Om man ska vara lite petig är den lite inkonsekvent och ojämn och, med några lite roliga undantag, så tillför den inte så mycket i serieformatet.

Det är en säkert hit för dem som gillar Simpsons och filmerna som parodiseras.

There are some very fun stories in here; a highlight is when Simpson characters get pulled into other fantasy and science fiction TVs and movies. Some of the other stories didn't work quite so well (the Jaws takeoff, for example), but overall this collection is fun and silly. Some surprisingly high-end authors and illustrators take part, to varying effect, but most of the stories feel like Simpsons Treehouse of terror stories, which is the best compliment you can provide.

[Jessie Radford · Rating 5 out of 5]

I really enjoyed this book. I don't care how many they put out I have love The Simpsons since I was a small child. It never gets old. Then I found out there was a comic?! I was hooked. Wonderful short stories, some playing off of recent events. Wonderful way to laugh, must read.

[Josh Newhouse · Rating 3 out of 5]

Good enough but a little too mature for my students... Loved the parody of They Live complete with classic bubble gum line.

[Nelly · Rating 4 out of 5]

Je to správně ujetý, i když seriál je seriál

[Kira · Rating 3 out of 5]

Fun little graphic novel to read so close to Halloween.

[Robin · Rating 3 out of 5]

Fun for fans of the show, really graphic!
