Locke and Key/YMMV

• Complete Monster: Sam perhaps, even though he's later shown as being manipulated. Definitely Dodge, unless and until proven otherwise later in the series.
• Crazy Awesome: Scot Kavanaugh, in spite of his Non-Action Guy status.
• Crowning Moment of Awesome: Tyler gets one, when he kicks Sam Lesser's ass for the second time.

Tyler: I'll tell you what happens next. Your future looks a lot like your past. You and me, hanging out in the basement... me kicking your ass again.

• • Tyler gets another one at the end of Crown of Shadows #4 when he gets big.
  • Tyler again, while tied upside-down and meeting the Big Bad for the first time:

Tyler: You her? The Dark Girl Bode met in the Wellhouse? The one who sent Sam Lesser to kill my Dad? Yeah, I was hoping I'd get the chance to say Hello to you sometime.

He spits on her face.

Tyler: How do you do? Wait'll you get a load of how I plan to say goodbye, bitch.

• Crowning Moment of Funny: Few and Far in between, although when they do come along they hit the right spot.

Tyler: Everyone in French Club went to Paris. Six Weeks.
Kinsey: So what? You're taking Spanish.
Tyler: See how I can't catch a break?

• Crowning Moment of Heartwarming: The ending of Crown Of Shadows chapter 2, "In The Cave", when the four new friends come together in a group hug. Awwww....
• Evil Is Sexy: Dodge, both genders.
• Fridge Horror: If those are the Thousand Young of Shub-Niggurath that means Big Mama is out there somewhere...
• High Octane Nightmare Fuel: Dodge, just... Dodge, whether he's in the guise of a normal person or a grotesque skull-reflection. Sam also counts. Lampshaded in this interview with Joe Hill, who stated that for him, the key to writing horror was "....to push the limits psychologically...to bring the heroes, and the reader, into an uneasy, uncomfortable place, and force them to live there a while." Seems to be working pretty well.
• Magnificent Bastard / Manipulative Bastard: Dodge.
• Tear Jerker: several moments, but something about Rufus telling his mom "I just want the commander to know if she's ever tired of me, the team will move out at her command. Say the word," i.e. that he'll leave her if he's a burden to her, just seems to have that extra sense of tragedy.
• The Woobie: Ellie Whedon, The Locke kids, Nina....
