In an alternate history of the London you know and love, Holmes and Watson are on the case of evil card-playing clockwork automatons, the case of a monstrous beast killed in the smoky backroom of an opium den, and the strange alter ego of one Henry Jekyll…
These gory tales are brought to vivid life by superstar artist Stevan Subic, who is currently collaborating with The Batman star Paul Dano on Riddler: Year One!
In a dark and grimy steam-powered alternate history, Holmes and Watson are still on the case! In this gothic horror-tinged retelling of the classic duo, they’ll face down the legendary Doctor Jekyll and Mister Hyde, a villainous card playing automaton and the mystery of a hulking monster shot down in an opium den. Who could be behind all these Machiavellian schemes? Holmes only has one clue… M.O.R.I.A.R.T.Y…
