Locke & Key appreciation thread 2 2

[kuphd06]

At least for now, the IDW Limited variants of Alpha 1 & 2 can only be obtained by purchasing a copy of their limited edition Head Games (red, blue, or black label), assuming the offer (which was announced via Twitter and had an end date of 1/31) still stands.

Does anybody understand what this new "LOCKE & KEY #1 DYNAMIC FORCES EXCLUSIVE VARIANT DELUXE DUAL PACK!" means?

Are these 2nd printings or just a bundel of the old ones ?

Locke and Key Blue came today! Here is the OA from Petersen....

 

 

 

And the two books that came with it:

 

 

[Sideshow Bob]

Same here. Got the monster package from IDW, also with Petersen!

Anyone reading this? I read the first arc and liked it. So far the second arc is pretty good too. Discuss...

 

Just picked up the TPB from the library. Had I known it was Joe Hill writing it, I'd have been in from the start. I can't wait to read it, but I have a little Swamp Thing to get through first.

Read this first

 

He's like Neil Gaiman...an author that can transcend multiple mediums.

I had already started the SotST trade, but I finished it already. I will put L&K on the top of the stack and start it later today.

As always, bob has the sweet stuff. Nice stuff from Peterson to the both of you

[Sideshow Bob]

Picked up a couple more covers...and I expect that is going to be it on any more Locke & Key covers (and interior art for that matter) being available anytime soon.

 

Locke & Key: Keys to the Kingdom #5

 

Locke & Key: Keys to the Kingdom #6

[bryan_robson]

And why would you say that good sir?

[Sideshow Bob]

Bryan,

 

Tweet from Gabe the day these covers went up for sale on his Chilean art dealer is the source of that comment.

 

It was easy for me to isolate the tweet since I remembered the wording, so here's the link to the specific one. He tweets a ton so its a lot to wade through:

GR_Comics on twitter March 10th

 

Still has a couple covers available for sale.

A nice exclusive version of Alpha & Omega HC will be available this weekend at Wondercon. The art portfolio will premier there as well

Is one of you going to attend the con?

[Autopilot-migration]

Wanted to share the shadow box display of the keys I've made.

 

A third one has started with the keys that did not fit in the first two shadow boxes.

 

I also hope to put together the complete collection of all the issues and variants that exist.

 

I used the checklist posted earlier in this thread and I am about 85% complete.

 

[ygogolak]

Cool, didn't even know those were made.

[Sideshow Bob]

Very cool. Those Anywhere Keys are impossible to find.

[Autopilot-migration]

Yes those Anywhere Keys are very hard to track down and when I finally found one it cost me quite a bit. That was the one I was missing to have a complete set now I just buy the keys as they are released.

""Hard to believe but it has been several years since Fox tried to adapt the comic book Locke & Key into a television series. A pilot was shot but it never aired. Now, the Hollywood Reporter reports, Universal has hired a new screenwriter for the film project.""

As with most things in Hollywood... seems like a really odd choice. Can't figure how they would arrive at him based upon the one other thing he did.

The best part of that press release was that Ted Adams (CEO of IDW) is one of the producers. IDW just signed Gabe Rodriguez to an exclusive artist contract, so they are already lining up behind the artist. That Adams is also ushering along this project gives me a lot more faith it might get done than just random interested parties.

Joe Hill:

“If you asked me what I thought was more likely in the next few years – a Locke & Key film or a Heart-Shaped Box film, I’d say probably a Locke & Key film.”
