This is it. The beginning of the end. The tension Joe Hill and Gabriel Rodriguez have built up throughout this series couldn’t be more gripping. I just can’t get enough of it. It’s like crack. Or so I hear. Tyler, Kinsey, and everyone else have a false sense of security because they don’t know Dodge has taken control of Bode. And he’s got all the most powerful keys! This series will be the death of me if it makes my heart beat any harder. But please let me die only after I read the final issue of Locke and Key: Omega.
Gabriel Rodriguez’s art looks unlike anything you’ve seen before. It’s gorgeous and detailed as can be, and every re-read rewards you as there always seems to be more visuals to take in. His art is like a demented Where’s Waldo? book because whenever you find the hidden gem it’s usually something crazy freaky. Just look closely at the second to last page. No, closer. Yeah, there. WHAT THE FRAK? Now you know what I mean.
Hill doesn’t waste a panel as he uses Scot’s video project to let the characters shine with some heart-wrenching confessions. This issue goes light on the dark magic stuff, but we’ve been with Tyler and Kinsey so long that hearing them shed light on key moments in this story’s history proves to be just as good as any of the key stuff. Hill has stacked the elements of his story -- Dodge, the keys, Tyler, Kinsey, Bode, the cave -- like a game of Jenga. You can see that they’re all about to crash down in a horrifying way, but no matter how harrowing it looks, you can ‘t stop reading.
