DC and IDW Reveal Covers and Details for Locke & Key/The Sandman Universe: Hell & Gone #2

Sandman and Locke & Key are two of the greatest fantasy series in comics history.

Neil Gaiman's Sandman is arguably the most important titles of all time, and the winner of literary awards usually reserved only for prose works.

Locke & Key is also groundbreaking and it's written by one of the best and most popular horror/dark fantasy writers in the world today, Joe Hill.

The announcement that these two amazing properties would be crossing over, put big smiles on the faces of millions of fans all over the world... mine included. Now, DC Comics and IDW have released the covers for the final chapter of Sandman Universe/Locke & Key: Hell & Gone, and some info on the book too.

Here's the full press release:

Following rave reviews for issues #0 and #1 of the fantasy crossover, this final chapter will change the way readers see the worlds of The Sandman and Locke & Key for years to come.

This 48-page tale of mystery and terror is written by Joe Hill (Locke & Key, Hill House Comics/Basketful of Heads) with interiors and a breathtaking card stock cover by Gabriel Rodriguez (Adventures of Superman). Locke & Key/The Sandman Universe: Hell & Gone #2 arrives in stores and on digital platforms on August 31, 2021.

SANDMAN UNIVERSE/LOCKE 7 KEY:
HELL & GONE #2
THE EPIC CROSSOVER
BETWEEN COMICS’ GREATEST
FANTASY SERIES CONCLUDES!

To win back her brother’s soul from Hell, Mary Locke has done the unthinkable - she’s seized control of the imprisoned Dream Lord’s artifacts of power and crossed over into his place of power, the Dreaming! Unfortunately, she’s managed to find herself in the middle of a war for the future of the kingdom, led by none other than the monstrous Corinthian. And even if Mary survives her encounter, the road to Hell ends in locked gates guarded by Etrigan the Demon and the all-powerful Lucifer himself! 

Of course, the Locke family has always had a knack for making keys…

This 48-page tale of mystery and terror is written by Joe Hill (Locke & Key, Hill House Comics/Basketful of Heads) with interiors and card stock cover by Gabriel Rodriguez (Adventures of Superman). In addition to Rodriguez’s breathtaking cover, two of comics’ most renowned mystery/horror artists, Kelley Jones and J.H. Williams III will also provide card stock variant covers for this must-read issue; all priced at $6.99 each. 

Locke & Key/The Sandman Universe: Hell & Gone #2 arrives in comic book stores and on participating digital platforms on Tuesday, August 31, 2021.

If any of the previously mentioned things has piqued your interests, then I implore you to check out Mystic Muses. You can find this wonderfully crafted podcast where you can find all your other favourites including Spotify. There are currently four episodes out. Episode 0 is the prologue and character introductions, and I have to say it is very well put together!

Fantastic Universes Interview: Madison, Matthew and Macsen Lintz From 'The Walking Dead'

Image
Interview panel led by Steve J. Ray, with a gathering of Comic/TV Media Journalists. I've spoken to some amazing people over the last couple of years; writers, artists, costume designers, and actors from some of my favorite TV shows. It's no secret that I'm a huge comic-book fan, and one of the TV series that's based on and inspired by a comics title - but has gone on to be so much more - is The Walking Dead . At a recent Comic-Con in London, I had the great opportunity of leading a panel where some fellow journalists and I spoke with Madison, Matthew and Macsen Lintz, three siblings who played Sophia and both iterations of Henry on the show. The eldest, Madison Lintz (born 1999) played Sophia Peletier - Carol's daughter - in the first two seasons. She's also well known for playing Maddie Bosch in the Amazon series Bosch . She started acting at the age of six, filming commercials and voice-overs. Matthew (born 2001) took over the role of Henry from ...
