Reading these chapters reveals just how little that’s been shown previously lacks a greater purpose. A stunning spread of a Shakespeare play seen in Master Edition I is reprised, but this time leading to something brilliant and tragic, and several later scenes reflect those seen earlier, but feature different people. The well considered character and detail Gabriel Rodriguez supplies is now par for the course, although should be appreciated, and on several occasions during these dozen final chapters he’s called on to reprise earlier scenes, but recontextualising them. That incredibly smart plotting is reflected in the art.
The jaw will remain locked in the dropped position.
That begins a torrent of revelations heading to an almost impossibly thrilling conclusion that Joe Hill has meticulously plotted for maximum shock. The relevant information still not revealed by the end of Master Edition II is disclosed early here, as the opening chapter introduces Benjamin Locke, founder of the family line and a man who knows exactly what’s going on despite being over two hundred years in the past. However, an old building known to the generations of the family who own it as the Keyhouse contains numerous mystical keys, each of which opens a different door causing a different effect. In 2019, he partnered with Hill once again for two new Locke & Key stories, “Dog Days” and “Nailed It.The premise of Locke & Key is that an ancient demon is attempting to access a particular key that will open a door to its dimension. He continued developing other creator-owned projects: the Eisner-winning Little Nemo: Return to Slumberland, with Eric Shanower Sword of Ages and the gritty sci-fi adventure Onyx, with Chris Ryall. In 2007, he co-created the award-winning series Locke & Key with Joe Hill. He earned the Eisner Award for Best Writer for his long-running comic book series, Locke & Key, featuring the eye-popping art of Gabriel Rodríguez.īorn in Santiago, Chile, Gabriel Rodríguez began working as an illustrator in the late 90s and in 2002 started drawing books for IDW Publishing, including CSI, George Romero’s Land of the Dead, and Beowulf, amongst others. His book of short stories, 20th Century Ghosts, won the Bram Stoker Award and British Fantasy Award for Best Collection. 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.
