Enjoy! ( )

By far my favorite Graphic Novel series ever. The final volume absolutely brought tears to my eyes. Fantastic series as a whole! ( )

Alpha & Omega, (Locke & Key #6), my sixth read from author Joe Hill & the conclusion to the Lock & Key serial. Extremely well-written, well-developed characters with a creepy, attention-grabbing storyline. I’m a character reader, I get into the characters. Who and what they are. Why they do the things they do. The things that make the reader get invested into the characters and thereby the story. I’ll be reading more from this author! (RIP Marley January 20, 2014 - July 24, 2018). ( )

The big showdown with Dodge occurs in this final volume of the series as teenagers Kinsey and Tyler Locke try to outwit the supernatural demon and unravel his diabolical plan.

This book pays off in many ways, circling back to earlier scenes and images of the Locke family seen in previous volumes. There is an emotional satisfaction to the way that Tyler in particular puts things together and makes the magic work for the Locke family and friends for a change.

That being said, there's also a ton of carnage and many characters have tragic ends. Don't expect the magic to fix everything and be prepared for some emotionally difficult scenes.

While I think this volume serves as a nice wrap for the series, I still prefer the TV show more. Maybe it really does come down to which one you experienced first, but the show was more my cup of tea. ( )

I thought the storytelling in the last couple issues was a little slow-paced, and I'm disappointed that Kinsey didn't get a stronger plot arc, but all in all a wonderful conclusion to one of the most imaginative dark fantasy comics I've had the pleasure to read. ( )
