A review by octavia_cade
Locke & Key: The Golden Age by Joe Hill

adventurous dark sad fast-paced

3.0

I read and reviewed all the comics in here separately, so this is basically just for my own records. They all got three stars from me, so the collected average isn't hard to figure out.

I liked it, but I don't know that I'd read it again. I think it's fair to say that I liked some elements of it more than others - the keys and what they can do, along with the Keyhouse itself, will always be most interesting to me. And I realise that things are likely to turn to custard on a regular basis in a setting like this, though it seems to me that the Lockes are a bit, well, lackadaisical about certain things and that's why life goes so poorly for them so very often. I sympathise, but at the same time a lot of the problems do seem to be self-inflicted. 

I've only just started the original series, and I think I like it better. Bode and Kinsey are more appealing to me so far.
