"A helluva comic... Locke & Key: Head Games picks up where Joe Hill and Gabriel Rodriguez's last series left off... you will not find a better single blend of stoytelling and artwork..." - Blair Butler, G4 "Not only has Joe Hill kept the Locke & Key franchise fresh throughout this second series, but at its end, Head Games actually trumps the initial stories in just about every way... Gabriel Rodriguez contnues to assert himself as one of the prmiere horror artists in the industry." - IGN "With each and every issue this series just keeps aadding layers to a story that is already full of charm and perplexity and charater-not to mention gorgeous art-that easily puts it in a league of its own... if only as comics could so completely transport their readers as readily and deftly as Hill andcompany with this book..." - Ain't It Cool News
