From the first pages of the very first issue it was apparent that Locke and Key is not only an incredible story, it is a tale ideally suited to be told via the comic book medium. Comics have been around and thriving for a long time, but this one feels like reason alone for the medium to exist. The pairing of writer and artist is nothing short of phenomenal. Joe Hill and Gabriel Rodriguez have combined their talents and creativity to create a vivid, enthralling, and frightening world where fantastic and brutal things happen that might have considerably less impact on the reader were this a novel. What's more, the story keeps getting better and scarier. This series is truly something special.
