Locke & Key: Welcome to Lovecraft #3 by Joe Hill

dark emotional fast-paced

3.0

This isn't exactly a placeholder issue, what with the escape and all, and the emphasis on Kinsey is due. The first three issues focus on the three kids, and I can see why - Hill is getting the main characters set up for the readers. Emotionally, it feels a little like a placeholder, though. That doesn't really sound fair, as Kinsey has as much of a right to her trauma as the other two, but there's a small sense of repetition... mostly with the first issue. Kinsey and Ty are much older than Bode, and their responses, by virtue of their age, are more similar than that of their younger brother.

There's also less focus on the house here, and I really enjoy creepy, weird house stories (is the place actually haunted?) so hopefully there's more of that coming.
