The Peculiars will have to do some quick thinking and a bit of detective work to escape the lair of the Golem Chippy Kipper and get word of their predicament to Sherlock.

When I reviewed the first issue I noted that there were some peaks and troughs, and that I didnt really know what the Peculiars' initial motivations were. That has all since been tidied up and explained with a deft hand, and what started as merely a solid story has found its feet and stepped up a notch into something thoroughly enjoyable. As a tale for all ages, this is a pleasantly nuanced and worthy read. Read Full Review
All in all, this is a wonderful issue. It’s a turning point for all of our main characters, and points to so many possibilities in the future. I can’t wait to see what happens next! Read Full Review
Meanwhile the actual Sherlock Holmes(?) and the reporter we briefly met earlier are doing… something. I dunno. Probably positioning themselves to take the credit for saving the day from the kids who at the end of the next issue – the last one – will probably remain the anonymous heroes. Also: it really sucks that the next issue will be the last. I really enjoy this book. I wish it were an on-going! There are so many great four-part stories they could tell. Read Full Review
