Meghan's Pick of the Month

Locke and Key Vol 1: Welcome to Lovecraft

The Eisner-nominated Locke & Key tells of Keyhouse, an unlikely New England mansion, with fantastic doors that transform all who dare to walk through them, and home to a hate-filled and relentless creature that will not rest until it forces open the most terrible door of them all!

Locke and Key is an awesome mystery series that I found impossible to put down. The story is captivating from the very first page. I loved the mixture of a typical crime story blended with the supernatural, and the art and page layouts are stunning. Locke and Key is creepy, fascinating and beautifully drawn. I would recommend it to mystery or horror fans or to anyone who wants to read something a little different.

But just on the other side of that tear, inside the Negative Zone, a dark entity of vast power has been waiting for what has seemed like centuries, preparing for the moment when he can finally reach through the tear and once again cast his judgment on humans and mutants alike. For the psychomagnetic abomination called ONSLAUGHT, that moment is about to arrive... and he'll have the girl without a world - NOMAD - to thank for it!
