Entertaining story and great art work, though if you’re coming from the Netflix adaptation just know it’s darker than on screen.

I decided to pick this up after loving the Netflix series. I don’t think I love this as much as the show, I’m not a huge fan of the art style, I think it works well for the more villainous characters but not so much for the protagonists. I am interested to see where the story goes as the series definitely was a different take on the story.

Despite the incredibly dark and violent content, it was a very easy and quick read. Gabriel Rodriguez on art did an amazing job conveying action and events from one panel to the next. The writing left a little to be desired in my opinion, with a heavy reliance on voiceover narration from the different characters.

The mystery of the keys, Key House, and the kids’ family history is definitely compelling. But the darkness that this family must live through is a little too much for me. The writing almost gets edgelordy at times especially with Ty. I mean just look at how many content warnings I had to put on this review! Also, while there is at least a little growth amongst the characters, their growth is perhaps in the exact wrong direction in that their trauma that haunts them is not only validated but is deepened as more terrible things keep happening. Bode is by far my favorite character as he’s the story’s only sense of innocence and curiosity.  

I understand that this is a horror/mystery, but long story short is that everyone in this comic desperately needs therapy.
