Unlock moments from Keyhouse's long history, expanding the saga of the Locke family in this collection of stories, which includes the epic crossover with DC's The Sandman Universe! For two hundred years, the Locke family has watched over Keyhouse, a New England mansion where reality has come unhinged and shadows are known to walk on their own. Here they have guarded a collection of impossible keys, instruments capable of unlocking both unparalleled wonder and unimaginable evil. Take a glimpse into the lives of Chamberlin Locke and his family in the early 20th century as they use the keys to fight battles big and small. From a giant spider inside Keyhouse to the killing fields of Europe during WWI and the depths of Hell, the Lockes are in a constant struggle to keep the dark forces of their world at bay. Collects three standalone tales, "Small World," the Eisner-nominated "Open the Moon," and the never-before-seen "Face the Music," along with the 3-part "...In Pale Battalions Go..." and the epic 80-page crossover with The Sandman Universe, "Hell & Gone" all from the co-creators of Locke & Key, Joe Hill and Gabriel Rodríguez… (altro)
Fabulous from start to finish! Such fun to see the Locke ancestors with so many awesome keys. One I didn’t remember from the previous books (and the one I wish I had) is the stamp key! If Fiona Locke could use it to get a book Mark Twain thought about but never wrote, then I should be able to get all the books Jane Austen would have written if she’d lived to old age. The book gets darker with each chapter, ending with a Sandman crossover that was really well done. It’s been several years since I read that series, but the vibe felt right. Mary was so fearless, and I wondered if she used the head key to get that way. The book didn’t say. I’m confused about what exactly happened in the “Open the Moon” chapter, so that may need to roll around in my head for a while. I still liked it, and how it tied in later. This is my favorite graphic novel series, and I was so glad to get more stories with the Lockes and Key House. ( )
Une plongée dans le passé de la maison des Locke, dans une famille tout aussi unie autour de ces clefs extraordinaires, que le père, homme foncièrement bon et placide, s'efforce d'utiliser avec parcimonie et sagesse, tout en laissant les plus puissantes hors de portée des enfants. Évidemment, pas facile d'y arriver, surtout lorsque ces derniers disposent de la même intelligence un peu retorse et d'une volonté hors du commun, au point que ces caprices ou erreurs de jeunesse entraînent parfois de réelles tragédies qui non seulement fragilisent la famille, mais mettent la réalité elle-même en péril. Outre l'ambitieux cross-over du dernier épisode avec l'univers de Sandman (tellement évident), l'album propose surtout de petits récits, des tranches de vie mettant en lumière l'un des membres de la famille, de la benjamine capricieuse à l'oncle malade, en passant par les deux frères si différents et la grande soeur qui finit par devoir se coltiner les conséquences les plus fâcheuses des actes des autres, au point d'aller jusqu'en enfer. Parfois cruel, pertinent, souvent émouvant et magnifique, un très grand album. ( )
A century before Bode, Tyler, and Kinsey Locke unraveled the mysteries of Lovecraft, Massachusetts, the family of great-great-grandfather Chamberlin Locke had their own wondrous and tragic adventures in the Keyhouse. The Lockes' keys take them to the moon, across the battlefields of World War I, and into the Dreaming and Hell itself, starting small and building into an epic tale that crosses over beautifully with Neil Gaiman's Sandman mythos.
