The next sequence introduces Keyhouse and the layout of the grounds. That it's on a peninsula cut off from civilization is at once intriguing. I know the distance away from a populated area is going to be trouble.

Once the exploration of the house begins (which I was dying to see), Hill moves us back to the past again. The graphic panels Rodriguez presents had me once more hanging on as what happened the day of the killings is finally played out. It's brutal and vicious, but that's the only way it could have happened.

The true weirdness descends on the story in the next few pages. Bode is off exploring the weird house all on his own when he has an out-of-body-experience. We learn that Sam Lesser, one of the teen killers, is still alive in juvenile lockup. Not only that, but he's also talking to a mysterious entity he can see in a sink full of water.

I'm totally jacked about this series. I think it's going to be great. I can't believe Hill decided to do it as a comic book instead of a novel, but in an interview I read, he said he'd just always envisioned it as a comic book.

I love Rodriguez's art, so that's a bonus - in addition to a great, macabre story with plenty of mystery and suspense. Waiting over the next five months is going to test me to my limits. I expect I'm going to be daydreaming — or having nightmares — about Keyhouse and what's really going on for some time now. If you're a comic fan or a horror fan or a Joe Hill fan, you gotta check this one out.
