Locke & Key – Joe Hill (series review)

Locke & Key was the first graphic novel series I’ve ever completed, and I loved every beautiful, gruesome, weird second of it. I enjoyed it so much that I’m currently in denial that it’s over, so I thought I’d distract myself by posting a full series review for you guys! I’ll split the volumes up into SPOILER-FREE mini-reviews, but first, I wanted to give you guys a heads up: While I adored this series with my whole heart and think that any...

Locke & Key, Vol 1 — Joe Hill

After a terrible home invasion ends in the death of their father, the Locke family is forced to relocate to Lovecraft, Massachusetts, to live in the late Mr. Locke's childhood home with his brother. Wracked by grief (and, for some, guilt), the children hope to find solace in the new beginnings of the aptly named Key House, but things are not as they seem. Doors lead to realities seemingly impossible, opening pathways to spirit dimensions. As if things weren't strange enough already, there's a voice in the well house... crying for help.

Wytches, Vol. 1 — Scott Snyder

When Sail and her family move to a small town in New Hampshire, they think they're escaping the horrors in their little world: the accident that has forced Sail's mother into a wheelchair, the nightmare in the woods that leaves Sail waking up in a cold sweat. They have no idea that they aren't escaping at all... in fact, they might be walking right into the fire.

The Undertaking of Lily Chen — Danica Novgorodoff

Ancient Chinese custom demands that each unwed man to pass away, must be found a wife - preferably also deceased - to be buried alongside him. After all, eternity is a big place, and no man should be forced to enter it alone.

When Deshi Li accidentally causes the death of his own brother, his family places the weight upon him to find a beautiful bride. In a world ruled by tradition, merchants can be hired to assist one in exhuming graves to seek out lovely women, but when Deshi Li meets Lily Chen, he decides she's the one - too bad she isn't dead yet.

Lumberjanes, Volume 3: A Terrible Plan — Noelle Stevenson

In volume 3 of Lumberjanes, we start off with the girls' attempts to earn their If You Got It, Haunt It badge, complete with the stereotypical circle-around-the-campfire-and-tell-ghost-stories plot, flashlights and all. After their night of terror, the Lumberjanes have a well-deserved day off; naturally, though, no day can go as planned with the Roanoke crew. Molly and Mal have a date - er, picnic that goes horribly awry while the rest of our beloved Lumberjanes manage to turn the most boring day ever into... you guessed it, a disaster.
