Summary

Hooo boy, this one's a doozy! After an eternity of promises, I finally follow through on my review of Joe Hill and Gabriel Rodriguez's phenomenal comic book series, Locke and Key. Stay tuned through the next couple months as I make my way through the entirety of the series, marveling at Hill's plotting and characterization, and Rodriguez's ability to bring this story to life on the page. In this episode, I read some listener e-mail, iTunes reviews, and start off my review with a deep dive into the history/recent history of the horror genre within the comic book medium. So although the episode title suggests that I only talk about Locke and Key, don't be fooled! In this episode you get all my thoughts on Swamp Thing, Sandman, The Wake, The Walking Dead, Gideon Falls, The Ice Cream Man and so much more!

1:03.9	going to be a great episode where I get to continue to remain in the world of Stephen King because I'm talking about Joe Hill.
1:14.0	But also I'm going to be able to get to touch on stuff that I never really get to touch upon in my other reviews.
1:20.6	And that's the world of comics.
1:23.1	And specifically a very important slice of comic book publication and comic book history
