The Nightmare Before Christmas is one of my favourite films of all time, so it's only natural for this Halloween obsessed reader to pick up Zero's book!

Zero is lost, so Jack must go on an adventure to find his friend and keep him safe! While he's away, Zero finds a reindeer who is in trouble. Both Jack and Zero find themselves getting into some Christmas-filled mischief as they find their way back to one another. Also, Sally's along for the ride too!

I really liked this book. It appears to be aimed at a children's audience, but as a Disney and Tim Burton loving adult I totally was digging it too! It's a great graphic novel to jump into for a fun adventure with our favourite characters.

Four out of five stars.

The Nightmare Before Christmas is one of my favorite Disney Movies ever and reading Zero's Journey was really a breath of fresh Halloween air. All the things I loved from the movie resurfaced while reading and I was in awe of how each character still had the exciting factor they possessed throughout the movie. The spirit of Zero even though he doesn't say much throughout the movie and book, comes through so brightly just like his nose. The artwork was just so brilliantly done that it looked like it came right out of the movie. I know our young adult patrons will absolutely love this book and the series and I know they will have a lot to say about it.

We will consider adding this title to our JGraphic Novel collection at our library. That is why we give this book 5 stars.

This series is absolutely adorable. I've been a fan of the movie since I was a kid and anything in the vein Nightmare Before Christmas holds a special place although they don't always get glowing reviews. This does.

I’m a big fan of The Nightmare Before Christmas, so I was very excited to check out this story! Zero’s adventures continue in book four. Jack and Sally are alarmed when they realize they don't know where Zero is. They decided to look in Christmastown, where some mischievous shenanigans are afoot. Fortunately, Zero is around to help Christmas get off without a hitch! I love the gorgeous art style and color choices. The dialogue is true to the characters while being accessible. The plot is tightly paced and action-packed. If your students (or you!) are a fan of The Nightmare Before Christmas, I highly recommend this. Zero’s Journey is out now!

I am a huge fan of the Nightmare Before Christmas, so obviously I loved this! Especially with the whole premise being Zero becoming a hero since Zero has always been my favorite! Great illustrations, and easy to follow along story. 5 Stars!

As a big fan of The Nightmare Before Christmas I really enjoyed this. The story was fun and the characters fitted well with those from the film. It's certainly one that I think that children in my library will want to read so a definite buy.

I love The Nightmare Before Christmas. It's a classic that never gets old.

This book is one in a series focused on Zero, Jack's reliable and loyal dog. The art style of this reminds me of the movie itself, with lovely little attention to details. The best part though is the writing, with all the rhyming. It was nice to revisit the world of TNBC again, and Zero was especially cute here. It was a very short read for me (hardly 10 minutes) but perfect for younger reads. Kids who loved The Nightmare Before Christmas will enjoy this fun, light read.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for this digital ARC in exchange for an honest review.

As a Nightmare Before Christmas fan, I found this Manga to be pretty enjoyable and the characters to be close to their movie counterparts. The story was easy to follow, but I did feel like a few things were odd: Lock, Shock, and Barrel never got caught or reprimanded for stealing the presents (what happened to them anyways?) and the Jack and friends storyline felt sidelined until the end.

This was a sweet and quick read based on the Nightmare before Christmas. Lock shock and Barrel have made it to Christmas Town with Jack’s dog Zero. As usual they had looked for trouble and were trying to create chaos in Christmas town. This was a great journey and although it was short the story had a great plot.

This was such an adorable take on The Nightmare Before Christmas, I can't wait for more instalments in this series.

Thank you NetGalley for providing me with an advanced readers copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

As it’s a Nightmare Before Christmas manga I had to read it. It has the same vibe like the movie had from Tim Burton, and as always I was still charmed by the already known characters and world. The artwork was as good as the movie itself. It was an absolutely lovable Disney graphic novel, a new favorite for Tim Burton and Disney fans.

Cute reading especially for "the Nightmare before Christmas" fans. This book would be a perfect choice for making children read during Christmas time :)

Thanks a lot to Diamond Book Distributors and NetGalley for this ARC :)

I've always loved the Nightmare Before Christmas from Tim Burton and reading this Manga brought me back some joy from watching the movie and reading the poem that was written by Tim Burton. Zero was definitely one of my favorite characters of this story and seeing that he has his own little comic series is super cute. It's always nice to see the Nightmare Before Christmas universe expanding and that Zero is the canine hero of this story. I loved the writing style, the beautiful drawings and Zero's story. Great way to expand this lovely universe.

Unfortunately, I am not able to open the document. But, due to it being Nightmare Before Christmas, I already know that I love it. I'm grateful for the chance to review it even though non of my ways of reading are allowing the comic file to open.

In this book ghost dog Zero is missing and as Halloween town residents led by Jack set out to find him they discover Zero being a hero helping save Christmas from being ruined!


This was a fun short manga book in vibrant moody dark colours suitable for bringing the Nightmare World to life and it was fantastic to take a quick trip back into this world once again.


Many thanks to the publishers for allowing me to review this book for them!

Book 4 in the graphic novel Disney manga series is about our favorite undead ghost dog and how he helps save Xmas once again. Features many great characters, graphics & storyline are great. This is Another winner in this series by Disney Manga, if your a fan you won't be disappointed in book 4.
I received this ARC in exchange for my honest review from netgalley.

I couldn't pass up an opportunity to check this story out. Granted, it's part four of a four part series of comics based around The Nightmare Before Christmas.

As with every child who lived through the Nineties, I went through a Nightmare Before Christmas phase. I'm a Tim Burton fan but not a fanatic. I owned Ed Wood at one point but never watched it. I do own The Melancholy Death of Oyster Boy. He's impressive. I love the world that he created with, allowing an abbreviation, TNBC. One thing that always bothered me about the movie and the original book that Tim put out is that Halloween Town is small. With Jack's pumpkin patch and the forest, it's implied that there's more to the world but you never see anything else.

This comic isn't written by Tim but it features all the characters we know and love. Zero is actually the main protagonist here. Despite only reading the last part of the set, it was a story that was self contained. A brief introduction explained why Zero was in Christmas Town to begin with. This comic picks up with Jack missing his beloved dog. He decides he has to go to Christmas Town to bring him home. To do this, he recruits the other monsters. While this is going on, Lock, Shock, and Barrel set fire to Santa's Workshop as a distraction in order to steal the presents and one of Santa's Sleighs. Zero helps save a Reindeer who had fallen under debris and then assist the Elves in putting out the flames. Santa is attempting to make due with the remaining presents when Jack shows up and after briefly uniting they discover the trio trying to speed out of there. Santa's Reindeer team up with Zero to stop the children and get the presents back to Santa. Then he allows Zero to help him deliver all the presents to children around the world because Zero saved the day.

This is obviously all geared towards young children. I get that. Us older Nightmare Before Christmas fans will be able to enjoy this by seeing our old 'friends' again but we're not in Penny Dreadful territory here. It also made the world of TNBC seem bigger. You see part of Christmas Town and Halloween Town, but they don't feel like isolated locations. There might be a little bit around the bend in both areas. I liked how the other monsters went with Jack to bring Zero home, but once they were in Christmas Town they stopped being active characters once they ran into Santa Claus. The monster under the stairs steals the show in this comic.

I can see myself reading the whole set - even the ones I didn't see - to children at the end of the year. If a local library has a Nightmare Before Christmas Day showing the movie and then having different activities and related books to read, this'll be worth having because the younger audience will love it. The artwork was fantastic too.
