Sherlock Holmes is busy doing what he does best, solving a case of far-reaching international notoriety. It has landed him at the Port of Liverpool, a bustling hub of commerce both legitimate and illicit. As that chapter closes, ours begins. They head to Lime Street Station, to catch a fast steam locomotive home to London and Baker Street, when violent weather keeps The Great Detective and Watson in Britain's second city a while longer. Long enough to encounter a monster, discover the Liverpool underworld, and to become embroiled in one of his strangest cases yet.
Overall, a really good start to this new Sherlock Holmes story. The writing has a great hold of the title character and Watson, this issue proves these guys will never be too old-fashioned for a modern audience. The actual story is just getting started, I look forward to the next installment. If you're a fanof SherlockHolmes, there's no reason why you shouldn't pick up The Liverpool Demon #1.
