    These books are great fun and hit all the right emotional notes while carving a genre all to their own and they deserve to be read and commended. Read Full Review

    If he isn't already, Rodriguez ought to be named the master of double-page layouts. It's always a treat to open up to one of his cinematic two-pagers and soak up all of the details. So far, his best work has been the genius Head Key pages, but he might have outdone himself here with a certain surprise moment that, upon turning the page, made me exclaim several words that I'm not allowed to share with you on IGN.

    “Locke & Key: Omega” #4 closes on an exciting and nail-biting cliff-hanger. As the “Locke and Key” series heads towards its final chapter, I'm very anxious to see how the story ends. Read Full Review

    AIPT - Sean Apr 3, 2013

    Sorry, JOE Hill writing, and Gabriel Rodriguez illustrating, one doozy of a cave-near-the-ocean rager! Kinsey finds herself in trouble after the prom, and it's not the typical kind where you need a good dry cleaner or the morning after pill. Add to that all sorts of drama with Mama Locke, as she struggles to, well, comprehend things. Plus, danger for Tyler and his Uncle Duncan from things that call the darkness home. Oh, and the special needs dude, Rufus, comes back ready to tear shit up with his robot friend. His robot…friend. Read Full Review

    "Locke and Key: Omega" #4 will leave fans feeling unsettled and frustrated, but these effects are the results of its strengths. As "Locke and Key" enters the final act of its final arc, it is still consistently one of the best books on the stands. Read Full Review

    Unleash The Fanboy - Zac Boone Apr 3, 2013

    Success on three out of four storylines is more than a passing percentage, but the bungled cliffhanger feels cheap, especially so late in the saga, when virtually every reader is on board 'till the bitter end. Read Full Review
