review:

In 'Sherlock Holmes and the Vampires of London' it's been a while since Reichenbach Falls and Sherlock Holmes is dead, or at least that's what he'd like everyone to believe. He is brought back to London for a series of gruesome murders committed by vampires.



He is abducted by a powerful vampire who uses someone from Sherlock's past as a lure. This vampire wants Sherlock to track down another vampire. As incentive, Watson's wife Mary is threatened. Sherlock is on the case, to stop all the vampires, and to protect his friends.



It's an interesting premise. I'm not sure it's completely true to Sherlock's character (besides the vampires, of course). Sherlock seems to be foundering and not doing his trademark detecting. There are some good twists and turns and when it was all said and done I enjoyed it and the art by Laci was really quite good.



I was given a review copy of this graphic novel by Diamond Book Distributors and Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.
