Locke & Key: Keys to the Kingdom #4

The fourth chapter of Joe Hill and Gabriel Rodriguez's Keys to the Kingdom arc hits hard, and Gabriel Rodriguez's cover makes that immediately clear — a bloodied, battle-worn soldier in combat fatigues and helmet clutches a gleaming golden key amid a spreading crimson pool, while weapons and equipment scatter around him in freefall. The title "Casualties" promises that this issue doesn't flinch from the human cost woven into the series' supernatural tapestry. Rodriguez's linework brings a visceral intensity to the scene that makes this one of the more striking covers in the run.
