Locke & Key

review 1: A great start to a creepy comic series. After a tragedy sends them fleeing from their normal lives, the family seeks shelter at their ancestral home, each trying to find solace in their new environment. But it turns out that there are secrets in this old house, fantastical keys that create magical effects. And circling this vulnerable family are forces of darkness, seeking to manipulate and consume the family. This first volume shocks and appalls, and sets the stage for a great story. Also, this is the first time I ever remember getting a 'jump scare' from a comic book. I'm looking forward to Vol 2.
review 2: SUPER creepy, I can't wait to read the next volume. The writing is excellent, and the illustrations are beautiful. I will admit I found that a few of... more the characters are drawn to look too similar, and at the beginning when the uncle looked exactly like the murderer, I had to keep flipping back and forth between pages trying to figure out what was going on. Ditto the son and his father. The teenagers look like adults, so it was difficult to discern at the beginning that the main character was actually a kid and not the father. All that aside, I did love the illustrations nonetheless, and thought the world of Lovecraft - especially the mansion - was haunting. Now moving to the next one. less
