The NZA Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 okay, so we were kinda talking about this in comics blargh (no idea why i can't split threads with this skin lately), thought i'd make a topic since i' on issue # 4 and am rather interested - art's not my cup of tea yet but it's serviceable so far, story's pretty intriguing though. Space and baytor mentioned it, anyone else reading/read this one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Visitant Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 (edited) Fuck, I LOVE locke & key, it got me reading/listening to Joe Hills audiobooks as well. About to run out of town for work things, but now I feel like I've failed you guys by not talking about this before. Also add this to the list of pilots that never made it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r_KmKC5K8QU Edited March 8, 2012 by Bindusara Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reverend Jax Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 This is not what I was hoping it would be, which was a buddy cop book starring John Locke and Francis Scott Key. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thelogan Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 Haku-ing Jax a +1 for that one. Did we really not have a thread about this? I recall Jumbie really going on about this somewhere. I'm with NZA on the art, but I refuse to let that ruin a good book for me. And the art does it's job well, there are good transitions and shit like that, it's just a personal bitch that the style always seemed a bit jarring and out of synch with the narrative. I'm not caught up on it either, so if the folks that are could spoiler yo shiznit I would appreciate it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The NZA Posted March 9, 2012 Author Share Posted March 9, 2012 it's really just the faces. i don't mean to give Dillon a pass either, the anatomy is just wrong/cartoony here and there where the scenery/backdrop looks good. it's not the kind've thing you hang onto as it tells its story though, i'm at the end of volume 1 and hooked. and yeah, if there was a thread, i coudln't find it! gonna go watch Bindy's pilot thing i didn't know existed, thanks man.

The NZA Posted March 11, 2012 Author Share Posted March 11, 2012 up to the current volume now...woooo, this stuff is good. bindy/co: was the whole pilot ever found online? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The NZA Posted March 11, 2012 Author Share Posted March 11, 2012 fuck, so of course i'm all caught up in the middle of an important storyline. wiki says clockworks 5 is out his coming week, and the finale by the month's end, so at least the wait won't be so bad.

Visitant Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 I've only read the main series none of the spinoffs. I guess that's what I get for being a trade reader. As far as I know the pilot was never released. I've been trying to hunt it down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thelogan Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 Actual keys for sale Damn, those look just about as perfect as they could. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lycaon Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 Two volumes in. Can't pick up the third until tomorrow, and I've got the fourth impatiently waiting for me to grab the third and finish it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thelogan Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 On sale at Comixology. Still not cheap, but I figure you can get up to date from scratch for about $30. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The NZA Posted September 17, 2012 Author Share Posted September 17, 2012 finally read the finale (and Grindhouse)... so that's really it? a flashback story, then we're left with this guy holding the omega key? that can't be right. says wiki: The original publication plan for the issues comprising the second, third, fourth, and fifth story arcs to be released monthly, with the final storyline being produced as an original graphic novel, but these plans have been altered. guess we're not seeing that finale?

Lycaon Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 Oh? Is the series over? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thelogan Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 Yeah, I think the Randall Locke story is wrapped up. I bet they do a lot of these Grindhouse-y one shots or mini series though. There's too much mileage left in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iambaytor Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 I don't think the story is wrapped up, I just think they're world-building between now and then. Because seriously, if that's the ending then it's bleaker than the finales of Dinosaurs and Alf combined. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The NZA Posted September 18, 2012 Author Share Posted September 18, 2012 what actually happened at the end of Alf? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C_U_SPACECOWBOY Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 (edited) In the series finale he finally gets contacted by others from his home planet. Over the episode, he wrestles with whether or not he wants to go home or stay on earth with his adopted Earth family. He finally decides to go back to Melmack and after a tearful good bye, he goes to a field to get picked up by a spaceship. Before the spaceship can pick him up, he's ambushed by a ton of government agents. The spaceship books it and Alf is surrounded by gun wielding G-men who will soon, no doubt, disect him. Credits. It was supposed to be a season cliffhanger, but the show got canceled, so this ended up being the last shot of the series.
