review: Editorial Reviews Review "A modern masterpiece..." — AV Club "It's great! ...The art here by Gabriel Rodriguez is some of the finest stuff in comics today... The team of Hill and Rodriguez is top notch!" — Blair Butler , Fresh Ink "Solid pacing and plot twists, combined with Rodriguez's clean lines and detailed pencils make Locke & Key a lock for best horror book of the week." — Wizard Magazine "In a year of auspicious comics debuts, Joe Hill turned in one of the few comics that truly came from a different place. Written with skill that makes me jealous, courage that makes me smile, and honesty and brutality that makes me want to see what comes next. Okay, I'm officially a fan." — Ed Brubaker "A modern suspense thriller meets something more wondrous and magical." — IGN About the Author Joe Hill is the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Full Throttle , The Fireman , Heart-Shaped Box , and NOS4A2 , recently made into a TV series from AMC.
