Victorian Undead: Sherlock Holme vs The Zombies
by Ian Edginton
Drawn by Davide Fabri
Wildstorm Productions, $17.99, 140pp
In 1854, a celestial object lands in London. The water is bitter, many die. Evil happens, is thwarted and hushed up.

In 1898, Zombies rise from the sewers. The Zombie of the Arch Nemesis of the Great Detective leads them. Can even Sherlock Holmes conquer the Evil? Will London, all of England, and the rest of the world fall as the illimitable hordes of the undead rise and spread?

Sherlock and Doctor Watson descend into the sewer seeking answers and have to be rescued by Mycroft and his men. Things look grim and the nation gathers its resources trying to contain the hordes in London while Sherlock seeks a solution. Again the Doctor and the Detective face danger in the search.

All-in-all the book is quite captivating. The story is gripping, the art is appropriately Dark and Grim. The characters of Sebastian Moran and James Moriarty are well-portrayed. I recommend the book. ~~ Gary Swaty
