Locke & Key, Vol. 5: Clockworks

Well it was just a matter of time before this book was revised after all I have read them all again up to this point. The thing is that as things start to spiral to its conclusion (but not yet) you have to see how bad it all gets, I guess its part of the morbid fascination.
However what can I say without spoilers and considering that not only would I hate to ruin it for other readings there is also the fact that the TV series is also no where near this point either - so I really do not want to upset people twice. And yes I do think readings of this series will also get enjoyment from the TV series too - after all they are similar but also different enough to tell their own unique stories.
The question is where to next....
Okay and I thought the last two comments about this series were tricky to put in to words - now I have some major spoilers I am desperately trying not to drop and yet say somehow they managed to do a major plot change and really up the pressure on the storyline.
Okay if that does not make sense I do apologise and basically say get the series as things are really starting to draw together but at the same time what you were expecting most certainly is not what will happen - okay I am doing it again talking in riddles.
One of the things I do like about this series is its consistency - now through out the 5 books so far (and I am sure that number 6 will not let me down) is that the whole package - the art the story the characters are reliable and ever there consistent throughout and I love it - it really feels like you are part of a grand story and you are watching each episode play out in front of you- now this may seem really obvious and a little shallow but being relatively new to the whole graphic novel experience I do prefer the story to be the same through out and I struggle when things are changed which I have seen in other series.
So will I be reading the next one - oh I think so, so stand by for some sleep deprived ramblings sometime soon
