    The Nightmare Before Christmas: The Shiver of Christmas Town #1 is a charming, faithful continuation that understands exactly why fans love this world. With spot-on character voices, film-accurate art, and a premise that feels both fresh and inevitable, it works equally well as a kid-friendly romp and a nostalgia hit for longtime fans.

    You Don't Read Comics - Russ Bickerstaff

    The original film had such a richly textured concept and ensemble of characters. It really DOES lend itself quite well to a longer-running serialized fiction format. Its nice to see some of that potential being embraced by creatives like Grnbekk who have te opportunty to explore things in just a bit more detail around the edges of a story that c learly continues to have a great deal of appeal decades after it left multiplexes back in 1993. Grnbekk is such a talented writer. Itll be intersting to see where she takes the concept in future issues. Read Full Review

    Tim Burtons The Nightmare Before Christmas: The Shiver of Christmas Town isn't bad at all and there's potential in the fun but it feels like it attempts to capture the flow of the dialogue from the film which was driven by the musical nature of the movie and that doesn't quite translate to the comic page. It comes off a little stilted in some ways. The lack of some details too hurts the comic making readers wonder about them and distracting in some ways. But, overall, there's some potential here to bring back the film as a series of monthly comics much like other Disney launches at Dynamite. As a fan of the film, I've got my hopes, but this might be one to wait until it's collected. Read Full Review
