 Skipper Matthews has an awesome comic book collection. His favorite one is called The Masked Mutant. It's about an evil super villain who's out to rule the universe!

Skipper can't get enough of The Mutant. Until one day he gets lost in a strange part of town. And finds a building that looks exactly like The Mutant's secret headquarters. A building that appears and disappears.

Has Skipper read one too many comic books? Or does The Masked Mutant really live in Riverview Falls?

Thoughts: I enjoyed reading this one quite a bit. I like comics and this one features a boy who collects them and reads the new issue of "The Masked Mutant" every week. This was one of my favorite in the Goosebumps series that I've read so far.

I love that this book exists!  This book is a collection of infographics about comics and graphic novels.  Some are informative (a battle breakdown, wherein the percentage of wins, losses and ties according to character are recorded in bar graph form!), others are helpful (an explanation of crossover issues and how many tie-ins they required!) and others aren't technically statistical (the Chris Ware Sadness Scale) but very funny for fans of the genre.  A fun work for comic book fans (the emphasis is on comic books, with graphic novels, comic strips and manga getting a few nods).
