I had such high hopes on Rufus that he would expose bode, but he went about it the wrong way.
But maybe not all is lost i wonder what will he do when he gets back to keyhouse.
Also the woman in the hospital i forgot her name she might actually have a chance of getting her memories back since they are still moving around in the cave.
It seems that Tyler is also up to something he might be making or thinking of making a new key.

"THE SOLDIER"
Rufus Whedon passes by the Locke house to say goodbye to Kinsey and Bode. He's moving to Boston, to a group home. He goes to the well house to look for Bode and finds the real Bode, his spirit at least and Bode tells him that Dodge has possessed his spirit and his plans to let through all the other demons. Rufus strangles Dodge/Bode and has to be taken to a psych hospital instead. He knows what he has to do to stop Dodge/Bode so he escapes.
Meanwhile at the Locke house, it's Prom night.

Everybody is getting ready for prom and Rufus is trying his best to stop Dodge and let's see what plan is Dodge hatching?
I have always loved comics, and I hope to always love them. Even though I grew up reading local Indian comics like Raj Comics, Diamond Comics, or even Manoj Comics, now's the time to catch up on the international and classic comics and Graphic novels. I am on my quest to read as many comics as I can. I love comics to bits, may the comics never leave my side. I loved reading this and love reading more, you should also read what you love and then just Keep on Reading.

I read this issue in the graphic novel volume, Locke & Key, Vol. 6: Alpha & Omega. See my review for it here: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

The worst so far (ever). Can it get worse? Let's see in the next chapters. Also, reading Omega after Alpha seems redundant. Why do I care about Dodge if I know what happens in Alpha? Anyway, fingers crossed it gets better!

This is a review of the entire series.
The story follows the Locke siblings; the curious young Bode, his rebellious sister Kinsey and his mature brother Tyler. After their father is tragically murdered in a mysterious home invasion, they move to their ancestral home in Lovecraft (a very suitable name for the hellish place they're moving into) with their alcoholic mother. The Locke house holds many strange secrets, keys that unlock forbidden powers and ancient evils never meant to be released. It turns out that the murder of the Locke family's father may not have been a coincidence. There are higher forces at play, manipulating the living from the shadows and orchestrating the downfall of the entire world.
This was a great surprise. I've been reading manga my entire life, but I confess that I never got into American comics and graphic novels (until now that is.) This series managed to win me over and open up an entire new medium of fiction to me. I was impressed by how realistic and human the characters are, there are so many unique people that are developed with utmost respect and is an example of diversity done extremely well. It really does rival the best of Stephen King and other big horror writers of the same ilk. It's got body swapping, spirit battles, mind-bending powers, ghosts and demons, heavy metal culture, blood and guts, tears and trauma, it's a thrilling ride all the way through.
Every volume packed a handful of punches. Volume 4 was the weakest of the series but even that one had a strong finish that eventually led to an even stronger ending. Suffering and grief is portrayed with rich emotion. The character development is moving. The villain is merciless and is actively involved with the plot at all times. All the side characters play a big role in the climactic finale and they all get the satisfying resolutions they deserve. Great series.
