MORIARTY Clockwork Empire

This is a dark and beautifully drawn Sherlock Holmes action/adventure, with lots of detail and authentic atmosphere of War of the Worlds. I really enjoyed it. Holmes is at his best, using disguises and his wits. - Bud In an alternate history of the London of 1899, a wretched man flees an opium house, transformed into a twisted monster--enter Mr. Hyde (and Dr. Jekyll). A clockwork card-playing automaton is revealed by Holmes, cheating the gentry out of their fortunes. And Lady Li Mei, widow of the late inventor Alfred Nobel, has a mysterious benefactor--and is she who she seems to be? All these events are linked--and the game is afoot. Brought to vivid life by superstar artist Stevan Subic, who is currently collaborating with The Batman star Paul Dano on Riddler: Year One. Alternate cover gallery. "Icons of historic literature cross paths in a comic unlike anything else on the shelves. You need this!" - Blake's Buzz "A thrilling steampunk twist on classic gothic horror. This 'clockwork empire' rules." - Matt Morrison, comics historian
