Unlock the mysteries of Keyhouse! Joe Hill and Gabriel Rodriguez's extraordinary tale of the Locke family.
A year ago I was thinking to post a full series review on graphic novels and manga's last year because I do read a lot of graphic novels and manga's and I wanted to do full series reviews on them, except on posting an individual review for each book. But I had a lot going on last year so I couldn't start posted full series reviews on graphic novels and mangas. I still got a lot going on and have not felt well at all this month. But I wanted to start to post a full series review this year so I decided to post the full series review for Locke & Key today. I started reading Locke & Key first and the second volume last year which I so love and enjoy reading both volumes.
I will tell you all the truth this graphic novel series is very dark, gritty and has a lot of blood, gore, and violence in it and it also has a lot of trigger warnings in this series as well. If you don't like reading graphic novels full of gore and violence and have trigger warning than this graphic novel series is not for you. Now I did finish reading the last volumes of the Locke & Key series this year last January. I wanted to finish reading this series because last month I heard that Netflix is going to have the Locke & Key tv series that came out on February 7th. And before you ask me no I have not watched the Locke & Key tv series yet on Netflix but I hope I can watch it soon.
I won't go into any details about the Locke & Key series because I don't want to be a spoiler, but I will say I thoroughly love and enjoy reading each volume my emotions where everywhere while reading this amazing and fantastic graphic novel series. My favorite part of reading the Locke & Key series was the whole diverse characters in this series that I so love and enjoy reading about each character in this series.
Also, it just broke my heart what each character was going through in each volume especially the last and final book and volume in the Locke & Key series, oh I just ugly cry reading the last book until the bittersweet ending I was still ugly crying.
Oh and before I forget the graphic art in this graphic novel was amazing and very detail as well that I cringe in some scenes in Lock & Key there were somewhat uncomfortable scenes for me to see but it didn't detour me to stop reading it, and I think the graphic art in Lock & Key brought out each diverse characters on its own I love that about Lock & Key series.
All and all I love and enjoy reading the whole Locke & Key series that I can't wait to watch the tv series on Netflix hopefully soon!
