BEST COMIC BOOK OF 2011: LOCKE & KEY


The first six-part series of Locke and Key was a bit too bloodthirsty even for me, but ever since then, writer Joe Hill and artist Gabriel Rodriguez have gone in a thousand different directions and explored everything and anything to make this the most entertaining, beautiful, emotional, and surprising book out there. The three kids have become the heart of the book and while the book has explored the usual young-love and adolescent angst of most high school stories, this one feels real and raw and the way it truly is. Add on the supernatural element and a super-evil baddie and a ton of keys that unlock untold new worlds and this book just keeps getting wilder and better.
