In these last three volumes, things get pretty intense, which is quite a feat for a series that started off with a violent murder.

I don't know. This was kind of disappointing. After the amazing ride, it just seemed very strange. The whole Rufus arc was very weird, like an unexpected savior, it just didn't seemed to fit.
I guess this will stay on my mind, I'll eventually read through the single issues.
Also the fact that Bode gets out of it seems kinda "unfair". There were 40 kids who didn't make it, but Bode gets another chance. I don't know, it was not nice o have him die, but it seemed to fit the dark tone of the comic.
The big sacrifice that has to come at the end. I don't know, in the end it's nice to see at least one family happy, but it seems quite unfitting.
Also why didn't the whole family got to say goodbye to Rendell?

I have finally finished all of the Locke & Key graphic novels. Today is a sad day. I didn't want it to end!! When I first started this series, I had no idea what to expect. The first in this series was the very first graphic novel I ever read. So far no other graphic novels compare to this series. The story and artwork are top notch. I love Joe Hill and all his work that I've read so far. I tried to take my time finishing this series, but it was just too damn good. Great ending to a fantastic series. I recommend it to anyone.

Despite the clusterfuckery of this story, I found it imaginative and emotionally engaging, and I found it satisfying to see that final door close shut.

And then it all came to an end . . .
At least this beautifully drawn and powerfully imaginative comic did. I love and hate it when that happens.
This ending is perfectly acceptable, I have no complaints. It only lacks one star due to the fact that it is the tidying up and closure book, and therefore lacks the stunning unfolding of a story like nothing I have read before. It is dark, supernatural, horrible, and full of those weak and strong characters that only seem to exist in stories, the kind that you can admire and dislike at the same time, the kind that you long and fear to ever meet in real life. It is epic and yet relatable.
I have nothing but praise.

I didn't think I would love a graphic novel the way I love other books. There's something magical about the story being told with someone else's words, but my imagination. And you don't have that with a graphic novel.
Which is why I was very surprised to be feeling all the same feelings at the end of this series as I do at the end of any other series I've been pulled into. Sure, I didn't have to use my imagination as much because the gorgeous art was right there. But that only added to the story. It was more graphic than my imagination could have been. And funnier, too. And some of those characters were hot!
I'm so, so glad I gave this series a shot. And I'll be eternally grateful to the people who introduced me to it.
I highly recommend it!

Well, that was a satisfying conclusion for the most part. Bode/Dodge launches his final gambit on prom night and it's up to Ty and Kinsey and their friends to stop it. People die and since we're not up to our armpits in demons and magic keys, it's safe to say the good guys one. There were a couple moments that made me tear up a bit in the epilogue.
Any gripes? Well, I guess I wouldn't mind seeing some of the Locke family's key fueled adventures but that's not really the tale Hill and Rodriguez were telling.
The Locke and Key slipcase edition was the best thing I ever spent $15 on and no one else bid on. Five out of five for the last two volumes, a solid four for the series as a whole.
