review 1: Sherlock Homes....zombie apocalypse...not much else need be said. Setting aside the fact that the original Holmes would never have been so open-minded to the supernatural, undead, and non-factual, this is actually a fairly well-conceived idea. Little time is spent on deductions, or Holmes' theatrics, and frankly there is little need for it as the culprit is all too readily revealed as an undead Moriarty who wants to take over London. These events are inserted into history, just like many Holmes tales are, and it bares a style of dialogue that resembles the English from this time period. The illustrations are full of colour and lighting, which together with a smattering of gore, creates an appropriate tone for this mash-up. Purists will undoubtedly wish to avoid this title,... more but for those seeking something slightly different, a what if scenario if you will, than this action-packed mystery/horror graphic novel is worth a try.
review 2: If you can say " a fun twist" on a story about zombies that is how I would describe this book. I'm not sure if anything with zombies in it should be classified as fun but who says we need to take of this kind of genere seriously. Sherlock Holmes and Moriarty meet again this time, man v. zombie. It's a good way to pass an hour or so, the story is ok and the artwork outstanding. If you are a Sherlock Holmes aficionado you might think it silly, but for me who mostly watches Sherlock on the big and small screen, it was fine. less
