In the last couple of years, I've gone back to my roots for entertainment. I've always been a sympathizer for comics. Big reason why I've loved the X-Men movies, Spiderman, and anything else from Marvel and DC.
With the eruption of awesome that is, The Walking Dead , I decided to dive back into the depths of awesome. The roots where most of our entertainment comes from;comics.
I was like Bambi on ice. I was scared being back in a comic shop. Everything changed in the last 15 years since I've been in one. The new shop was great. The employees were very helpful and not like previous experiences.
After a year (and lots of money) they talked me into starting a new series; Locke and Key.
It's written by Joe Hill; Stephen King's son. And might I say, just as good as his father.
The books focus around the Locke family. Tragedy force them back to the family homestead across the nation; Key House.
In the house, hidden deep are many different keys. Each key has a special power when matched up with the correct lock.
Only 4 books are available currently, but I highly recommend the hard backs for a collection keeper.
Along with any great read, it's followed up with either an animated or live action adaptation. Check out the trailer for Locke and Key!
Sadly, the show will never see the light of day. This is very unfortunate as it would have made a #1 hit. But coming from Fox, the network that canceled Family Guy AND Futurama, Locke and Key must be amazing. If Fox Network were a doctor, they would throw away the cure for the common cold as well as AIDs.
