Wow! What a crazy and insane volume! As usual our bad guy trying to look like a good guy is slowly but surely creeping in to finding the Omega key. Hearts are broken in this one and somebody comes back to shed light on what is happening. That end though! As soon as the truth was found out, it was like a roller coaster. Loved it!

Love the style of having smaller frames over a larger image that still has some contextual info in it. I liked this book, but it still think Vol. 3 is my fav.

It's wintertime in Lovecraft Massachusetts, and Keyhouse is becoming a battleground between the Locke children and the dark lady, and keys are consistently popping up around different places in the house. Kinsey finds a clue to caves, but it stops at a dead end. Bodies begin to pile up again around Lovecraft, Luke makes his moves on Kinsey, with dark intentions to use her to gain the Omega key, and Tyler discovers Luke is behind all the killings.

So many new keys were revealed in this volume! I think I‘d enjoy using the animal key, and I wonder what I would become?

The nod to Calvin and Hobbes style art was perfect for that small animal section.

The ending was shocking! Good thing I have Volume 5 waiting!

Aims42 I just finished watching the series on Netflix. It was awesome! Will have to look into these now 👍🏻 5y

I continue to really admire the art and story in these! This house is full of creepy scenarios! If I were these kids I think I‘d stop playing with the keys...

@squirrelbrain thought you‘d enjoy the top frame 😁🐿

This series continues to keep me engaged, intrigued, and concerned for these kids. This one ends with a particularly stressful cliffhanger. Luckily, I already have the fifth volume from the library, but the sixth is waiting for me on the hold shelf of the closed-down library, so that will be a true coronavirus cliffhanger. As always, the artwork is glorious. I especially loved this perspective of what's happening around the giant, creepy house. 🗝

so so good! I just downloaded 5. Hopefully will star this one tonight :) I have like 20 things I want to consume right now (books, movies, shows) and its hard to get them all done! I can't do them all at the same time... so... I might end up prioritizing the next one.

Not as scary or sad as the previous ones but... It helps move the story along so well!

KathyWheeler Are you watching the show? 5y
Karkar @KathyWheeler I watched last week, which made me want to reread the graphic novels. 5y
umbrellagirl Just finished the series last weekend. 👍🏻 5y
KathyWheeler @Karkar I just started it and I‘m liking it; although, I don‘t get why they changed Lovecraft to Matheson. 5y
Karkar @KathyWheeler yeah there are a couple of small things that were different hit that i wondered why they changed it. But I think overall it turned out pretty good. I hope they have a season two. 5y

This started as a slow burn, but picked up the pace quickly before flying off a cliff! I did not see that ending/cliffhanger coming! I wish I had Vol 5 in hand so I could find out what happens next NOW.

ETA: my library has it on Hoopla so I will be reading Vol 5 today. 👻🙌🏽

This graphic novel series never disappoints! This volume contains mesmerizing graphics just as all the previous ones have. I love the storyline since it keeps you guessing and of course I absolutely love the gory, gruesome aspects of some of the artwork.

The hardest thing about reading an ongoing comic or graphic novel series is reviewing them. It‘s hard to say much of something if you don‘t want to give anything away. So, here goes...the story picks up right where it left off. Things get even more complicated for the Locke children and danger is much closer than they could ever guess. The story is dark and compelling & the artwork is outstanding in bringing the it to life. Excellent.

ElishaLovesBooks I need to start borrowing some graphic novels from you! They look so good! 7y

This volume actually made me giggle in the beginning. The art and introduction were simply hilarious. It made me love Bode even more. Then it got seriously dark. This series is just such an amazing ride. I‘m excited to see where it‘s heading.

Beyond excited to find these at my doorstep from the library today! Can't wait to finish Locke & Key, and as a huge Oz fan/addict I can't wait to read these graphic novels! P.S. I'm also super excited to finally have a new phone. 🤗 Now I can see everyone's emojis and the picture quality is spectacular! #graphicnovel #joehill #wizardofoz #oz #libraryhaul #horror #fantasy

ReadingRover @MinDea There is a GN called Wonderland by Tommy Kovac that‘s pretty good. It‘s actually about MaryAnne the White Rabbit‘s maid. Lol when i would read him saying her name I could hear his voice from the original movie when he is calling out “MawyAnne!” I laughed every time! 😂 7y

Wow! I did not see that coming! Pretty cover, beautiful artwork throughout, and such wonderful storytelling - what more could you ask for in a graphic novel? This is the first time I‘ve commented on artwork; it‘s just never overwhelmed the story before. But I don‘t think it overwhelms the story either, it just tells so much of the story. And what a story! Read the first three volumes and then read volume four. Writer and artist are brilliant!

In this volume we are introduced to new keys. The kids are being attacked almost every weekend. We normally only get one or to illustrations to show the various attacks and I wish this was delved into more. But there are lots of things happening in book four. We meet the Coach‘s autistic son, who can see and hear ghosts. We watch relationships fall apart, and friendships discenergrate. All in all, and bloody excellent read. Literally.

This should be a television series. I would binge watch this on Netflix all damn day! 😆 The imagery, the depth of the characters, the dark grittiness of it all. I just love it! @Nihilist00

Nihilist00 Not sure. I just recently saw that they are filming a pilot episode for it 8y
GypsyKat @Nihilist00 Aw that's so cool! Now I'll need to do some research on it! It's too bad Netflix didn't pick it up, I think they would have done well with it. I've never seen a Hulu show, are they usually good? 8y
Nihilist00 Yeah about the same kind of quality. The Handmaidens tale is one too 8y
GypsyKat @Nihilist00 Hmm interesting. I hope they can do it justice. This is such a great series, it'd be a bummer if the show didn't hold up. Haha! Now I'm worried! 😆 8y
Nihilist00 They did an audiobook of it recently and from what I heard it was really great. Tatiana Maslani from Orphan black is in it. It's more of a radio serial of Locke and Key than an audiobook 8y
Crystalblu I just heard about the upcoming show! I am also excited and a bit worried! I just really want them to do the story justice! 8y
GypsyKat @Nihilist00 That's cool! I'll have to check that out! 8y
GypsyKat @Crystalblu I know what you mean! I'm not even done reading the series yet and I love it! They NEED to do a good job with the show! 8y
TobeyTheScavengerMonk They made a pilot that didn't make it to series a few years ago. I think Miranda Otto (Eowyn in the LOTR films) played the mom. Looking forward to the Hulu show. 8y
