Locke & Key: Keyhouse Compendium

El libro en sí es enorme y pesado, muy bonito, pero llegó lastimado

I was previously unaware of the Locke & Key series until I watched the tv version on Netflix. I had a good time with the show and while waiting for a second season, I wanted to check out the source material. This version of it just came out a month ago, and its a very impressive collection. All six volumes of Locke & Key are contained within along with a few little extras (diaries of known keys and some alternate covers, these may have been with other collections of Locke & Key, too, not sure) at the end.The Good: The artwork and colors are fantastic. The imagery is very detailed and really makes use of the large pages which are about the size of regular notebook/printer paper (bigger than I'm used to for comics). As for the story, itself, it's very good. The tv series has already taken extensive liberties (i.e. made a lot of changes) with the source material, mostly in a bad way unfortunately. The original story here is much darker (there are also some fairly gory parts in the book), has less obnoxious 'teen drama', and is a suspenseful exciting tale. It's worth the read just for the story, but the outstanding visuals really push it over the top.The Bad: This book is BIG. Really big. As mentioned above, the pages are close to the size of note/printer paper and there are almost 1000 of them which makes it difficult to actually read it without pulling pages away from the binding. You will also likely want some sort of support (a well-cushioned reading pillow would help) as it weighs several pounds making it heavy to hold for any amount of time.The Bottomline: If you are a long time fan of Locke & Key, you may really appreciate this all-in-one compendium. If you are new to it, like me, you will find this collection great, but may honestly be better suited to looking into the smaller size previous collections (which can be quite a bit cheaper and easier to handle as they are broken into multiple books) if you only want to know the story of Locke & Key. This volume is almost better suited to a coffee table book given its size and weight, but with the great artwork and stories inside, you don't spend this much to just sit it on a table. I am personally very happy with the purchase of this version as the positive qualities are far greater than the negatives (which are really just physical things that won't bother some persons). If you want a very impressive-looking tome of Locke & Key than this is for you, just realize it may not be as easy to handle/read as other versions.

Sehr gut und sorgfältig verpackt und sehr schnelle Lieferung. Kaufempfehlung!

What did I like? Everything. I bought the first trade paperback on a whim. It sat around for almost a year before I picked it up. I only did so because I thought. Why did I buy this, let me at least read it and see what's up. Well I was hooked. I ordered the rest immediately. I had to know what happened. It was so magical and amazing and raw and I was completely sucked in. If you've seen the nexlix show. This is 100 times better than that. It's just amazing. I gave all my TP to my best friend as I felt everybody needs to experience this masterpiece. And so I bought myself this wonderous hunk of book. The pages are much larger than the paperbacks so you have so much more to appreciate. 60 pounds for this book is a steal. It's definitely worth 100. If you're a fan of fantasy/horror this book is perfect. I literally didn't want it to end. But the ending was good. It wasn't as if it didn't make sense. I just wanted it to go on forever. This book is magic and I can't recommend it enough.
