An sich mochte ich die Graphic Novel, aber ich hatte schon vorher die Serie gesehen. Und im Vergleich finde ich die Serie schon besser gelungen. Mir war das Pacing etwas zu schnell und die Anfang war recht wirr erzählt. Trotzdem mag ich die Idee und die Charaktere sehr, dazu mag ich den Zeichenstil. Ich werden auf jeden Fall noch den zweiten Band versuchen!

Average. I don’t think horror graphic novels are really my thing, but I liked the concept of all the keys. This definitely kept me interested.

Bad writing, worse art. None of the characters are very sympathetic or likable. Joe Hill’s understanding of sex/gender through the “gender key” is incredibly dated and weird. The teenage boy giving an adult trucker oral was really unnecessary and gross.  Seems like Joe Hill cares more about delivering shocks than an actual story.

5.0

Brilliantly constructed, but read with caution. It’s very violent with significant gore. The horror aspect should be obvious from the title alone, but it’s more horror and tragedy than frightening. One of the main antagonists being a teenager is disconcerting though it fits the plot and characterization. He’s very much a tragedy all on his own.

Creative storyline, a little boy finds a door with a key. While that doesn’t sound like much, after going through hell in the summer, this little boy goes on a wild adventure. (I won’t spoil it, though I’m sure most who read this know the gist of the story).

Intrigued to continue reading the story in graphic format. Little to be desired in my opinion for the graphics though. Everyone looks so rough.
