Best Comic Book: Locke & Key



You really need to be reading this. It's dark but it's also fun. It's mysterious, weird, but fresh and thrilling. Kinsey, the hippie daughter, takes away her sadness and fear thanks to one of the numerous magic keys found at their mansion. She puts Sadness and Fear, which are two small creatures, into a jar. Sadness cries so much that it drowns Fear. Kinsey can't put Fear back into her head. Fear is dead. She ponders this. She'll never feel fear again. That emotion is now gone for her. How strange, how deeply philosophical is that? Add those grand ideas to massive battles against shadow creatures mixed in with kids trying to get laid and you have the craziest, most enjoyable and sublime book on the market. Like I said: you really need to be reading this.
