The latest （and final？） Locke & Key collection devotes all of its time to the decline of Chamberlain Locke and his family， through the loss of family members， the effects of the War， and into the realms of Hell and death themselves。The opening short stories here are of course， wonderful。 Open The Moon is heartbreaking and yet uplifting all at once， while Small World tangles with a strange balance of terrifying and innocent。 Neither of these are new stories however， having been collected elsewher The latest （and final？） Locke & Key collection devotes all of its time to the decline of Chamberlain Locke and his family， through the loss of family members， the effects of the War， and into the realms of Hell and death themselves。The opening short stories here are of course， wonderful。 Open The Moon is heartbreaking and yet uplifting all at once， while Small World tangles with a strange balance of terrifying and innocent。 Neither of these are new stories however， having been collected elsewhere， but their inclusion here makes perfect sense given what else is included。 The collection exclusive Face The Music story is actually only four pages long， but manages to be both adorable and horrifying in that space of time。Then we get into the meat and potatoes of the collection - In Pale Battalions Go has the Lockes fight a war on two fronts， and goes to show that the power of the Keys is never to be trifled with， even when you mean well。 The horrors of war and its effects on those left behind has never been more apparent， and you can see from here while Chamberlain felt it necessary to hide the rest of the Keys from his descendants。Finally， the best for last。 Hell & Gone is a two-issue crossover with The Sandman that sees one of the Lockes venture into Hell in order to rescue a lost soul。 Joe Hill ably moves his characters through the early days of The Sandman mythos with assistance and blessing from Neil Gaiman， and tells a story that not only captures the same flair and magic of The Sandman itself but still remains true to the characters and story of the Lockes that he has been writing from the start。 It's masterful work， tiptoeing through the raindrops of continuity while both enhancing and revering the original source material。And of course， Gabriel Rodriguez's artwork is nothing to sniff at。 His work hits that sweet-spot in the uncanny valley without being disturbing - everyone looks terribly human and fragile， which makes the dangers they face far scarier， and also means that the magical and mysterious aspects of the story really pop off the page。 There are few artists who could make me slam a book because of their depicition of a giant spider， but Rodriguez's illustrations in Small World can do it。Locke & Key may be over for now， but this collection of past stories goes to show that there's always some new stories to unlock， even if they're not necessarily where you'd expect to find them。 。。。more

Lo mejor de todas esta etapa， es que se construye de varios unitarios que se escribieron antes de las 2 historias principales del 2020， y están llenos de referencias a estas。 Lo que habla de una planificación en esta arco familiar de comienzos de siglo 20。Incluso engancha con Grindhouse （2012） y Dog days （2019）。Muy buen arte de Rodriguez。 No le doy un 5， porque podría haber tenido más。

Read Locke & Key: Small World and Locke and Key: Open the Moon when they first came out （2016 and 2011 respectively）， as well as the "In Pale Battalions Go" and "Hell & Gone" crossovers with The Absolute Sandman， Volume One。 Waiting on this to release to read "Face the Music" and finish it。 Read Locke & Key: Small World and Locke and Key: Open the Moon when they first came out （2016 and 2011 respectively）， as well as the "In Pale Battalions Go" and "Hell & Gone" crossovers with The Absolute Sandman， Volume One。 Waiting on this to release to read "Face the Music" and finish it。 。。。more
