The book gets darker with each chapter, ending with a Sandman crossover that was really well done. It’s been several years since I read that series, but the vibe felt right. Mary was so fearless, and I wondered if she used the head key to get that way. The book didn’t say.
I’m confused about what exactly happened in the “Open the Moon” chapter, so that may need to roll around in my head for a while. I still liked it, and how it tied in later.
This is my favorite graphic novel series, and I was so glad to get more stories with the Lockes and Key House. (
