I am not a regular graphic novel reader but I thoroughly enjoyed this story. A fun venture into the world of the undead.
Great book one of the best massing in Comedy and Zombie's.ProsGreat Comedy mixed with Action and zombie killing, if you love either like me it will be amazing.Great storyline which links up very well.Artwork is amazing, the zombies look really cool how they are designed.Great setting, i mean having Sherlock Holmes Vs. Zombies who ever thought of that is a genius.ConsSome of the story gets boring as he tries and discovers it before actual killing the zombies.In ConclusionI enjoyed it very much wi...
The saga continues as famous sleuth Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson find themselves in the middle of a zombie plague. It is up to Holmes to uncover the source of the undead before they engulf all of London and he finds himself face to face with an enemy he thought dead. The folks at Wildside have done a fantastic job of bringing the undead masses to England while keeping the focus on Holmes. While there are a few traditional Holmes moments in the series, Holmes also takes on more of an action her...
Hmmm. This was pretty much what I expected with all the usual characters. Holmes is a pompous know-it-all, "No time is ever wasted Watson. You must put such instances to efficient use to exercise the mind," Watson is the ever-loyal sidekick, "I left you to face Moriarty alone once before...I swore to muself I would never do so again. I just pray my nerve will hold." Mycroft jumps in and saves the day at just the right moment, Moriarty is an evil swine, the zombies says thins like "ggaaaakkkk...
Seriously, who isn’t fighting zombies these days? While Max Brooks may have written the current authoritative guide to the zombie fighting biz, it seems that Elizabeth Bennet, Ebenezer Scrooge and even Abraham Lincoln each had their own preferred fighting method and it now appears that even Sherlock Holmes threw his [deerstalker?] hat into the proverbial [zombie infested] ring. In Victorian Undead: Sherlock Holmes vs Zombies, Ian Edginton and Davide Fabbri take the world’s most famous consulting...
Great tale, hope to write a full review soon.
Three and a half stars.What’s a good literary cash cow if you can’t regurgitate it over and over and over again? In this case, you combine an evergreen literary icon, Sherlock Holmes, with the monster de jour, zombies and viola: Sherlock Holmes vs. Zombies. This was published in 2010, so maybe people hadn’t reached the shambling dead breaking point back then.This one is an entertaining and quick read in a pandering, obvious kind of way. It hits all the Sherlock and zombie formulaic notes and doe...
Look, it's just ...exactly what it says on the tin. Sherlock Holmes vs. Zombies. It's a fun time and it has fairly accurate Holmes & Watson characterization [unlike SOME things these days, cough] but it's also incredibly formulaic with no real depth. If you're just looking for a quick read where you can watch Sherlock lopping the heads off of some zombies then this is your thing, but if you're expecting anything more than that you might want to steer clear. Also I'm a bit confused by the ending
I had a lot of fun with his one! Watson and Mycroft both rang quite true for me. Holmes was a bit off, like they were trying to make him a leading man, but it's only a minor distraction. The premise, action and art were all engaging and I will now happily pick up any further books n the series!
Fun, if forgettable. Liked how it tied together wormwood and the John Snow's cholera outbreak epidemiology though.
I tend to avoid high-concept stuff from unknown creators like the plague, especially if it features zombies or steampunk, but I also read every bit of Holmes pastiche I can get my hands on, so there you go. This is Holmes in Rathbone mode, a smart, dynamic man of action who solves the mystery and saves the day by bravery and initiative as much as deduction - which is not at all out of character, just one possible perspective. It can be argued that Holmes should be disproving the supernatural, as...
If you can say " a fun twist" on a story about zombies that is how I would describe this book. I'm not sure if anything with zombies in it should be classified as fun but who says we need to take of this kind of genere seriously. Sherlock Holmes and Moriarty meet again this time, man v. zombie. It's a good way to pass an hour or so, the story is ok and the artwork outstanding. If you are a Sherlock Holmes aficionado you might think it silly, but for me who mostly watches Sherlock on the big and
Netflix's series please
An awful holiday read.
While skeptical of the series being able to capture the essense of Holmes with the added Zombification, I took a leap and was pleasantly surpised by the series.While the initial pages didn't draw me in completely, by the end of the first issue I was hooked. The pacing of the series is very much akin to traditional Sherlock Holmes, full of investigative detective work, slow reveals and wonderful dialog. The writer captures the dialog of Holmes and Watson very well.I was also very pleased to see t...
You must face the facts, gentlemen. This is a foe who never sleeps, who knows neither pain nor fear nor injury, whose ranks swell with every bite and tear.Armed only with their keen wits and a brace of pistols, Holmes and Watson are on the trail of some rather bitey revenants.What with all the elegant dialogue and Mrs. Hudson preparing tea, this is certainly the most well-mannered zombie book I've read.
Tapping into the cultural zeitgeist, Edginton and Fabbri effectively combine the popular genres of steampunk, zombies, and Sherlock Holmes in a clever tale of Victorian terror. In March 1854, an alien ship lights up the skies above London. Some thirty years later, Scotland Yard calls on Holmes and Watson to investigate the odd occurrence of the dead who refuse to stay dead. Edginton wisely populates his tale with classic Holmesian elements: Mrs. Watson, Mycroft, Lestrade, and most importantly Ho...
As a huge fan of Sherlock Holmes I am tired of all the new Sherlock Holmes stories. Then I saw this and thought wow at least it is something different and the cover is pretty cool. Reading it though was a bit confusing since it appeared as if a lot of things were missing or left out but I guess nothing was. I kept having to flip back to make sure I got what was happening. The ending was bad since it makes you think there is going to be a sequel and there is a Victorian Undead 2 but has nothing t...
Sherlock Holmes and his faithful Watson go up against an undead Moriarty to save London and the Queen.3.5 stars This is exactly what it sounds like with decent artwork and a fairly good representation of Holmes. Normally I'm not a big fan of quotes but this one got the book the half star added on: "I am a reanimated corpse with a barely reined craving for human flesh - and only now you question my sanity?!"
The BEST book with zombies that I have ever read! (Okay, granted, that's not much of a recommendation, but still --) At first glance, Sherlock Holmes and zombies should not work together in the cover of the same book -- but they do. The artwork is intricate and suitably gory. The only real quibble I have is that Sherlock Holmes' eye color keeps changing. Perhaps he was wearing contacts at one point? His hair color here is chestnut, which was Jeremy Brett's original hair color before it had to b...
