Getting Closer To Our Second Stretch Goal On Sherlock Holmes And The Empire Builders The Gene Genie Vol.2
And Just £275 Away From £8000
So we have hit our first stretch goal which is that if we hit £7000 then both, writer Joel Meadows and artist Andy Bennett will record a short behind the scenes video offering a glimpse into how the series is created. So with us heading towards £8000 and edging closer to our second stretch goal of £9000 here’s a few interior pages from vol.2…
“Classic Sherlock Holmes! You can smell the chimney-smoke and feel the clatter of hooves. Here’s the character we all know and love, given a fresh polish for the 21st century!” – Ian Rankin, Rebus
“It’s tough to refresh and reframe classic characters, especially one as important as Sherlock Holmes, but Empire Builders does an admirable job of forging its own path while keeping the core elements intact. I’m intrigued to see how the second half pays off the potential laid in part 1.” – Jim Zub (Avengers, Conan the Barbarian)
“This actually looks pretty great. Lovely art, great scripting, gorgeous covers. Nice work! Check it out,” – writer Gail Simone, Uncanny X-Men
“A darn good romp!” – Guillermo Del Toro
“Joel Meadows and Andy Bennett deliver an original detective story where murder and conspiracies collide in a fresh take in the legendary world of Sherlock Holmes. Highly recommended for fans of crime and mystery!” – Michael Avon Oeming, Powers co-creator
“Meadows and Bennett have done the impossible: they’ve found a rich, dark, brilliant new solution to the mystery of Sherlock Holmes, that ties him to the darkest secret histories of the 20th century.”– Lev Grossman, writer, The Magicians, The Bright Sword
“Sherlock Holmes and the Empire Builders features a Sherlock Holmes you’ve not seen before, but still a Sherlock Holmes you’ll love. Joel Meadows and Andy Bennett give us a Holmes who is older, alone, in the grip of despair… and very much a worthy addition to the tapestry of the world’s greatest detective. The game is afoot again, delightfully so. “ – Ron Marz, DC vs Marvel, Green Lantern
So let’s get closer by pledging here
