Locke and Key vol. 4 - Joe Hill & Gabriel Rodriguez

Still excellent. Still not hufely keen on this style of art but I can see that it's done well, with lots of details and highly expressive faces. The story is moving forward too, and reading this one made me retrospectively realise that vol. 3 was mostly padding. It's a common thing in TV and comics that try and tell a definite story in an indefinite episodic format. Once you've noticed it you can't unnotice it and not many things are more off-putting in a work of fiction. But this is one story that seems to be back on track.

Locke and Key Vol. 1 to 3 - Joe Hill & Gabriel Rodriguez

Best comic to have come out in the last few years, surely (ok, I don't read that many). Very reminiscent of Hill's dad, and not just because it's about a haunted house in New England. It's got that perfect balance between human drama and supernatural shenanigans. The characters are, without exception, deep and relateable. Themes of childhood and adolescence (kids and teenagers are running the show while the adults struggle along as best they can) shine through with just the right emphasis between the awesome, magic-imbued action scenes. Can't wait for the next one!
