Locke & Key, Vol. 3: Crown of Shadows by Joe Hill
5.0
I love the Netflix show don't get me wrong
but it really failed to show how much trauma these kids had to go through and exactly how unhelpful their mom was in that, she's not great in the show but she is downright HORRIBLE in the comics. She is grieving too, but the children are left to completely fend for themselves physically and emotionally after their dad is murdered and they move to a new town! The netflix show kind of brings up the mood in every scene. Everything is "not as bad" "not as deep" and "not as graphic " it's very watered down and I think if they hadn't done that the show would've received much better ratings. That said I have so much love for Locke and Key and Joe Hill so it's always nice to go back and read through these.
