Locke & Key, Vol. 1: Welcome to Lovecraft

What can i say? L&K is one of my favourite comic books, and definitely one of the best horror/fantasy works out there. The story is engrossing, characters are fun, very creative magic system, and the horror aspect is great as well. Just go ahead and read this masterpiece, there's no way you're going to be disappointed. P.S. if you are coming here after watching the netflix series, know this - the comics are a lot LOT better than the tv series. So if you liked the series, you're simply going to fall in love with the series

UNFORTUNATELY pages started falling out as I was reading it, but it is a very good book. I bought it because I already love it. Stupid glue...

I was searching for a good read, and found an absolutely gripping story with perfectly matching illustrations. I will not go into detail about the story, as there are a lot of reviews about that already and I don't wont to spoil here for the following parts... Just this: The story is great from the beginning and it gets better throughout the series. As the kids start to find more and more keys in the house and learn about their "special effects", I was not able to put the books out of my hand before I had finished them all (or as many as there are at the moment). The series is dark and sometimes brutal, but never in an offhand way with lots of blood (although there is that, too), but the horror is subtle, and creaps right into your heart. What really got me is the combination of text and illustration. It is very well written, which gives the characters depth but the illustrations give them real life. Body language, facial expressions, and it is unbelieveable how much you can say with just the eyes of a character. At the end of the day, there is only one thing to do: Read it, enjoy it, you will not regret it. The best graphic novel I have read so far!

I have been reading comics for nigh 30 years. I have laughed at comics in the past, fist pumped etc. This book is the first time that I was choked. There is a panel near the start of the book that just got to me. Rodriguez's art is so fantastic. Hill's story is engaging and wonderful to behold. This is comic narrative at its finest.
