I'm not an expert on the subject of comics, but occasionally I like to read one. When I learned that it was published called Victorian Undead I: Sherlock Holmes vs zombies! , I felt like an arrow. The cover also captivated me. I bought recently (as I saw in my last IMM) and was eager to read it, but quietly, enjoying it. Normally, whenever I read comics I've done such a stretch, but this time I did not want it that way, I've recreated by choice. Well, as I said, I'm no expert, but I know when I like something and when not, no matter what the critics say. It turns out that this comic are putting green, you are saying anything but "bonico." I also found some positive feedback out there but very few and sketchy. I really had fun, personally speaking, but I recognize that there is little of Sherlock Holmes in the story. His detective skills are scarce and poor, there mistero hidden behind the cartoons of this comic. All is revealed too soon, so there is no suspense. Some parts also comes on too fast. If I had been better built in pace would have been a remarkable work, but I've been in entertainment like that. Be read but not a masterpiece.
On the grounds there is little to say: a plague of zombies stalking the London Victorian Holmes and Watson investigate while trying to save lives. But hey, is not a zombie horde either: acting under the orders of someone. Another zombie, but with a conscience. No spoiler this is, it is known from the beginning almost. Perhaps most interesting about this volume is the final article of Sergio Colomina, entitled Sherlock Holmes and the comic . I discovered some interesting things with this article, for example that the first comic about this detective was published in 1895. Or that Guy Ritchie film is not based on any comic book print, as saying. In aesthetic reality and the idea of \u200b\u200bthe film are based on some illustrations of Lionel Wigram and John Watkins, who drew some designs with the idea of \u200b\u200bincluding them in a graphic novel about Sherlock Holmes that never saw the light. So, not that it is discontinued, is not there, let him hear. Well, this article also talks briefly about the film adaptations and the actors who have embodied the detective of Baker Street. So I discovered that the first appearance of Sherlock Holmes film was an experimental short film of one minute. The title was baffled and ran Sherlock 1903.
Well, despite everything, it was a fun and funny to hang out. The illustrations really liked me too, because it recreates a very faithful and the London home of Sherlock preserves many details. Victorian Undead series will have more numbers, but my online searches have not yet been clarified whether the second will be Sherlock Holmes vs. Dracula or against Dr. Jekyll. Whatever, I'd take a look.
