Set Description:
I've been a longtime fan of Stephen King's books, and after hearing his son Joe Hill had come out with a new series I just had to have it! Managed to get these high grade books early, hope I can continue to add more
Synopsis (Wikipedia)
Locke & Key is a comic book metaseries written by Joe Hill, illustrated by Gabriel Rodriguez and published by IDW Publishing.
The first story arc, Welcome To Lovecraft, was a six-issue limited series published by IDW Publishing. The first issue of Welcome To Lovecraft was released on February 20, 2008 and sold out in a single day, requiring a second printing to be done immediately.
Welcome To Lovecraft serves as a prologue to the three-act structure of the story proper. Act One consists of two six-issue storylines, the first of which is entitled Head Games which commenced with the release of the first issue on January 22, 2009. The actual Head Games story was printed in four issues, with a standalone prologue ("Intermission" or "The Joe Ridgeway Story") and a standalone conclusion ("Army Of One"). The second six-issue storyline in Act One, Crown of Shadows, began in the fall of 2009.
Act Two of the Locke & Key story will consist of two limited, six-issue miniseries; the first storyline of Act Two, Keys to the Kingdom, began in August 2010. The second storyline was initially announced as Time & Tide, but is now titled Clockworks. Act Three will consist of one final six-issue miniseries. There were originally plans for all the issues in Acts One and Two to be released monthly with the concluding Act Three being produced as an original graphic novel, but these plans have been altered.
