Locke Key Clockworks Vol 5 Joe Hill Gabriel Rodriguez 9781613772270 Books

I had been eagerly awaiting the release of this trade from the moment I put down Locke & Key, Vol. 4: Keys to the Kingdom, and I would like to say it does not disappoint! I would assume that anyone who is on the page for volume five has already read the first four, but if you have not, drop what you are doing immediately and go to a place where trade paper backs are rented or sold and rent or buy them. I'll wait.

Ok, so Clockworks. This is probably my favorite book so far. As opposed to moving the main plot forward in this volume, Joe Hill takes an opportunity to fill us in on all the back story before the final volume (Omega) is released. And when I say "all the back story" I really mean "all" of it. Almost all of the story's long running questions are answered within the pages of Clockworks, and these answers don't disappoint. You get the history of the keys, key house, what's behind the black door, what happened with Rendell and his friends in the drowning caves, Dodge's history, why only children can access the magic of the keys, and so much more!

Because the bulk of the volume deals with the past, Joe Hill has ample opportunities to introduce new characters to the story. I think one of the main things I liked about the book was how relatable and real Rendell and his friends seemed. The characters all have flaws and vulnerabilities that make them read like real people. Because of this, you feel a connection to them and a sense of dread knowing the tragedy that will soon befall them. And you will feel that impending sense of doom for the majority of the volume. It's like watching a horror movie and just wanting to scream at the girl not to run up the stairs. But they can't hear you.

Lastly I'd like to touch on Gabrielle Rodriguez's phenomenal art. Again, anyone familiar with the series already knows how talented he is, but I would be amiss not to at least give him some credit myself. The way he captures characters facial expressions is truly top notch. There are scenes where characters are running the gamut of emotion, and Rodriguez captures it perfectly. He flawless takes Bode from looking like an adorable care free kid, to a totally menacing force. In addition to that, the amount of Easter eggs and small details in the art cannot be overlooked. I found myself going back to panels to triple check to make sure I didn't miss anything!

All in all I'd rate this book 6 stars if given the opportunity. Joe Hill truly does a great job setting up the final volume. So good in fact I'm going to break routine and buy these next six chapters in issue form, I truly cannot wait! Clockworks will more than satisfy any fan of the series, and if you're not a fan I'm not sure why you're still reading this review. Great writing, great dialogue, great art, great story, great construction on the book, honestly I can't say enough. Bring on Omega!

Locke Key Clockworks Vol 5 Joe Hill Gabriel Rodriguez 9781613772270 Books Reviews

This is the book I have been waiting for in the Locke and Key series. The first four books were interesting but never really answered any of the questions I had. All the previous books did was introduce new keys and the magic they held. This book finally gives answers.
In this book we get to see what the clockwork key does. This gives anyone who uses it the ability to travel in the past. Finally we get to see how the keys were forged, what the metal that makes them is and why the keys exist. I loved this story mainly because I finally got some answers.

We also get to advance the story of the existing characters. Of course we have been following Dodge through the whole series, and now we get more info on his character. He was friends with Tyler’s father when they were teens. Somehow he is back as a teenager again and trying to find the Omega Key for his own personal gain. There is a little information dropped throughout the four books, but this gives us his origin story.

I don’t want to give away too much because it would spoil a lot of information if I kept going. If this intrigues you then pick up the first book in the series, Locke and Key Vol 1 Welcome to Lovecraft.

One last thing to end this review, I want to point out that Gabriel Rodriguez’s artwork seemed better this round. I have not been a huge fan of his artwork in this series, but I was impressed with several of the multi page layouts. My problem is that I have read so many comic books that I feel there are other more talented artists out there. When I compare his work with that of Jim Lee or Alex Ross I just don’t care for his style. Gabriel Rodriguez did step his game I think, and I can’t wait for the final chapter to be released.
Volume 4 of the Locke and Key series (reviewed elsewhere on this site) ended in such a terrible, shocking way that I couldn't wait to pick up Locke & Key, Volume 5 Clockworks, written by Joe Hill and illustrated by Gabriel Rodriguez. And it certainly didn't disappoint. I'll try to keep this spoiler-free, so I apologize if some of my comments are vague.

When Volume 4 ended, I couldn't wait to see what would happen next. The thing is, after readers get a glimpse of how Tyler Locke isn't keeping it together as well as we thought, Volume 5 is almost entirely about what has happened before during the Revolutionary War and the story of Rendell Locke and his friends. Throughout Volumes 1-4, I thought Hill and Rodriguez had seeded enough clues about these two time periods (e.g., the snippets of diaries in the back of the books about the creation of the keys) that I knew enough. Turns out, I knew only the broad strokes. But it's the fine details of the stories that really let this volume soar.

There's a sense of dread about this volume that is unlike any of the others. In fact, I had the hardest time reading this one because I knew it would end very badly. I watched so many characters commit mistake after mistake after mistake. Yet, these mistakes seem inevitable given the characters' motivations. Clockworks is a fantastic example of how powerful a tragedy can be.

And although I've focused the majority of my review on Hill's storytelling, I have to remind everyone how much I'm enjoying Rodriguez's artwork. In particular, the glimpses inside Tyler's and Dodge's heads are fantastic, but for very different reasons. Rodriguez perfectly captures a teenage boy's mind, and his version of Dodge's head is, well, hellish. And I'm so glad that this Volume has several one- and two-page panels. I find myself staring at them for long periods, struck by the tremendous amount of information and beauty they convey.

I'm almost sad to see that the Locke & Key series is ending. But it should be one helluva climax. It's as if all the pieces have been set in place, and the plot is switching to the endgame. Things are about to get bloody, I'm sure. But one way or another, it will be over. Perhaps that's why the next (and final) volume is titled Omega. I've said it before, and I'll say it again. I can't wait. This is truly one of the most incredible series I've read, comics or otherwise.
