This one seemed to have a lot more violence, but a lot of secrets were revealed!
Another day, another volume! This one started off on a bit of a misstep for me, but the ending was the strongest issue yet. Needless to say, I'm still hooked!
This isn't holding my interest anymore. I guess I'm at the stage of the overall story where the scene is being set of how the keys are harming their lives but the story should be moving along. Maybe it's just me though: I read the first three whilst travelling so I don't have to like the story as much for it to hold my interest
Story
This book has Nazi Dinosaurs. Need I really say anything else? Of course we got more keys, each one unique and interesting. Things really escalate in this book and it was hard for me to stop here for the night. I can only image people who had to stop and wait for the next issue.
I also really like how they did each day of February in a single panel or two. That was a particularly good issue.
Artwork
While I appreciate the nod to Calvin and Hobbs, it went on far too long. I really like Mr. Rodriguez's style, but I was annoyed for the entire first issue when he kept swapping back to that art style. It would have been fine if it was a single page like the comic book cover he does for Bode and Rufus.
