Jabbar and Obstfeld work up an easily flowing script for the first issue that sets up a story called The Apocalypse Handbook. Set in 1874, the story follows the brilliant, self-centered and obnoxious Mycroft Holmes on a particular adventure throughout London all the while sharpening his wit on his brother, his Oxford classmates and his unsuspecting professor. Jabbar and his fellow creators, serve up a nice opening to the mini-series leaving the reader ready for the next episode and if theyre anything like me, marveling at how Kareem Abdul-Jabbar got even cooler.
