Writer Joe Hill and artist Gabriel Rodriguez wound up their series Locke & Key in 2013, but they will bring it back in October for just one issue. The one-shot comic Locke & Key Dog Days contains two complete stories, plus a teaser for the upcoming Netflix TV series (see "‘Locke & Key’ at Netflix, Classic ‘Doctor Who’ on Twitch, ‘Deadly Class’ Replaces Showrunner, ‘Krypton’ Renewed, ‘The Boys’ Casting, ‘The Death of Superman’").
The comic also includes a preview of a new series that Hill is creating with artist Martin Simmonds; presumably this will be S.T. Holmes, the Insulting Detective, in… Dying Is Easy!, which Hill confirmed to SyFyWire during Comic-Con International in San Diego. Locke & Key Dog Days is 48 pages, priced at $5.99, and is scheduled for an October Plus New release.
IDW Publishing’s initial solicit for this comic had a smaller page count, was priced at $4.99, and did not include the "Dog Days" story. That looks similar to the version they were selling as a con exclusive at San Diego Comic-Con.
