Spencer & Locke tagged posts

The end is nigh, as Spencer and Locke square off against Locke’s crime lord father, Augustus, with a child’s life hanging in the balance! Can Locke survive against these overwhelming odds? Does he even want to? And who killed Sophie Jenkins? Find out here in this explosive finale!

A finale to anything, whether it’s a show or a series of novels or comics, is something to both anticipate and dread. You thirst for that big ending to the story, yet at the same time you wish it wasn’t ending. When it comes to the fourth and final issue of Spencer & Locke, I was torn more than I have been in a while.

The dreaded meeting between Locke and his ironically criminal father has come and it’s as rough as you’d expect...

S.O.S.! S.O.S.! Beaten, drugged and left for dead, things are looking bad for Locke—but unfortunately for his captors, Locke isn’t here anymore. Get ready for a night of psychedelic terror and homicidal violence as Rocketman Reynolds makes his daring escape from Planet X!

Whatever you do, try not to let the somewhat confusing summary of this issue get in the way. Believe me, it makes all the sense in the world when you’re reading it and it’s quite fantastic. Pretty much everything up to and including the third issue of Spencer & Locke has been, so it’s only natural it would continue.

Waking up and finding himself the experiment of a mad doctor, Locke nearly dies but instead begins a drug induced escape adventure...

Spencer and Locke’s investigation leads them to the seedy nightclub known as the Red Rose, and its dangerous owner who holds power over Locke. Meet Ramona Sinclair. If this femme fatale doesn’t do these gumshoes in, a death-defying car chase just might.

As often as possible, I try not to judge anything after just one issue, one episode, etc. This is one of those titles that I felt I was going to like after one reading only the first. Now having reading the second issue of Spencer & Locke, it’s becoming more clear I was right.

Following a very unconventional interrogation of Stanley (the school days bully), Spencer and Locke head to the Red Rose nightclub. Trying to find more clues about Sophie’s demise, Locke runs into another unwelcome person from his past...

When his grade-school sweetheart is found dead, there’s only one friend Detective Locke can trust to help solve her murder — his childhood imaginary panther, Spencer. But when they face a vicious crime syndicate and memories from Locke’s traumatic youth, can this unlikely pair survive long enough to find the truth?

While I can’t speak from personal experience, imaginary friends are a big part of many children’s lives. They get kids through so many things, even if they physically aren’t doing anything. Even so, the first issue of Spencer & Locke shows that even imaginary friends can be just as powerful.

Detective Locke finds himself taking the unfortunate case of the murder of his grade-school puppy love, Sophie...
