It's because each story arc is numbered as an individual mini-series. So for example, you'll have Locke & Key: Head Games #1-6, despite that it's actually the seventh through twelvth issues of the series as a whole. Despite this, the story is continuous throughout.
DC's site is good. You can also check comixology, since that's what DC uses for digital sales anyway. They even have these nifty Character 101's you can read for free that tell you some basics and suggest a few stories.

I can't read Locke and Key brahs. He writes too much like his dad and he burned me way too many times.
A new Booster Gold series is coming! Hell yes.

There's still more I want to buy though. And if you include manga...holy shit.

The shop near my parents' house didn't have any copies of it so I might have dodged a bullet.
For me I always find new comics I want to try. I have so many on my Amazon wishlist.

It's not even a slow burner...just progressively gets better and better as the series goes on. These past few issues have been top tier.

I could make love to you right now.
I haven't read my vol 4 Locke and Key trade yet...perhaps i'm waiting until i buy vol 5 so i can just read them both.
Catching up on Buffy Season 9 right now, issues 14 and 15 were a two parter around Billy the vampire slayer. It was decent if not a little...overly simple? And
I'm not thinking much of this season overall, unless the next season has a STRONG premise and creative team i'm probably done despite liking the Buffy/Angel tv show.

transitioning to Buffy being involved just to close out the final page of 15 was awkward.

Just rebought the activity on comixology. Series is so good, would hate to see it cancelled.
Fucking shit.
I'm hoping it's an issue of Nick Pitarra being on the slow side and not Hickman prioritizing the 50 books he decided to start this year over MP.

East of West 3 was also delayed.
Well I'd imagine Infinity is taking priority since its earning him the big bucks.
He has said that MP is his favorite book to write though so I'm sure it's not because he wants to. That work load for Marvel though.
at this point I swear Locke n Key is like manga like Naruto or Bleach or One Piece.
like in Locke n Key they're like o shyt we got the magic computer virus key gonna fukk yallz up
then u read Naruto and it's like nah mang we got that rasengan we gonna fukk up!!
then back to Locke n Key where they're like well actually now we got a grand smal touchdown key what now!!
then u go back to manga and it's like BANKAI!! 3rd Gear!
That's great news! Now we're just a Zatanna and Power Girl series away from having my favorite pre-Nu52 books back.

...I'm sorry, what? I'm not seeing those parallels at all.
I've been holding back on buying more Locke & Key (got Volume 1) as I know it is ending soon and I'm waiting to hear if he pulls off the ending before buying the rest. There is nothing worse than loving a series only to have the ending ruin it all (ie LOST and Dark Tower).

It's funny that you say that because I got such a huge Lost vibe from reading it. I've only read the first three volumes, though.
That sucks, I wanted to read it eventually
. Was going for more Lovecraft, less Lost. Lost is hooooooorrible.The Broken Ska Record

Well, Lost in the sense of world building. It feels like there are layers and depth to this place these characters populate.
All of the X-Men books are supposed to be in the same universe at the same time right? How is Wolverine in Savage Wolverine, Wolverine and the X-Men, and Wolverine?
Also, does anyone read Uncanny X-Force or Cable and the X-Force? I am confused what the difference is between X-Force books and X-Men books. Is X-Force supposed to be more action oriented?
It seems like you could easily be spending $50 a month just on X-books...

Showcase Booster Gold? I have that book~
Digitally-wise check Comixology, for trades there's Amazon.com and another site for the US whose name I keep forgetting XP.
The authors I listed for Flash wrote the best Flash stories so def. check them out.
They aren't necessarily at the same time.

Well, it's nothing like Lost or I wouldn't be reading it.
It's on Diamond's list for 6/5, let's see if it holds this time.

Did you check out the one-shots? Grindhouse and Guide to the Known Keys?
Just a guess but i think he/she thinks the level of escalation is comparable to shonen manga.
I too picked up the first two volumes of Locke and Key, so bloody good. Bode is awesome. Also picked up The Strange Talent of Luthor Strode which i enjoyed very much. Very much like Kickass except it's not shit.

The main difference between something like Locke and Key is that every single bit of info you get in Locke and Key pays off down the line. Lost introduced a bunch of concepts all over the place, which got people to wildly speculate about all sorts of things but a lot of those things never got a satisfying resolution.

Has anyone ever had issues buying something on Comixology and it not appearing? I changed my email associated with my iPad and then tried buying both Vol 3 and 4 of Locke & Key. I was charged on my card but it still doesn't switch to Read underneath those comics and they don't appear in my account on Comixology's website either.

The original plan for Omega was for it to be seven issues, but it sounds like issue #5 is now the last. From what I've read, the final two issues will still be released by they won't be under the "Omega" label.
Makes no difference to me, other than I foresee some additional delays in their release. It will be worth the wait.

Heh well I found out that there's a story featuring Poison Ivy in Batman: Detective written by Paul Dini.
There's a page of a practically naked Poison Ivy in it:
http://www.amazon.com/dp/1401212395/?tag=neogaf0e-20
It also has a story featuring Riddler, back when he was reformed. Speaking of which I much liked it when Ivy, Harley and Riddler were 'good guys' befor the reboot.
