Sam Lesser slaughters his way across America, moving steadily closer to Keyhouse and a final reckoning with the Locke family. His cross-country journey is mirrored by another, more harrowing odyssey, into the distorted territory of Sam’s memories. Think you know what happened, the day Sam murdered Rendell Locke? Think again! Acclaimed suspense novelist and New York Times best-selling author Joe Hill (Heart-Shaped Box) continues his all-new story of dark fantasy and wonder, with Gabriel Rodriguez (Clive Barker’s The Great and Secret Show) handling art duties.
My complaints about this series are done with full knowledge that they can go either way. Some will appreciate the methodical nature of the series and some will find it irritating. Some will love the art style and some won't think it works. Still, as a package it's hard to deny this series is one of the stronger new properties to hit the industry. I'd highly recommend you give it a shot and see if you are willing to enter the world of Locke & Key. Read Full Review
This issue gives a perspective that I wasn't expecting to get much less this early in the series. It makes a bit of an effort to make the villain somewhat sympathetic. There is still some work to be done, but I'm in.
