Here’s a reminder of the plot and a few quotes about it from prominent people in the fields of comics, film, TV and genre:
Sherlock Holmes and The Empire Builders is an epic alternate world sci fi adventure featuring The World’s Greatest Detective as people have never seen him before.
When Watson leaves Holmes to help Crick unravel the DNA helix and finds himself in the employ of England’s most evil man, Holmes is forced to team up with an unlikely group to defeat this monstrous figure and return England to its status quo.
“When you think there is nothing more to be said or done with Sherlock Holmes, along come Meadows and Bennett to breathe fresh life into the great detective. Bravo! I’m thoroughly enjoying this original tale!” – Michael Moorcock, fantasy legend, Elric, Jerry Cornelius
“Holmes. Watson. Dark conspiracies. And, of course, mysteries to be solved. Sherlock Holmes and The Empire Builders promises to be an intriguing twist on the classic Doyle stories, in the hands of two enthusiastic and capable creators.” – J.M. DeMatteis, writer, Justice League, Moonshadow
“The game is indeed afoot! It’s no small feat to take on the works of Sir Doyle, and yet Joel and Andy had done a neat job of it. Holmes feels quite like the Sherlock we know and love – except he’s found himself out of his element. Meanwhile, like every great heroic story, there’s a villain who… well, you’ll just have to read it for yourself. Gorgeous artwork by Andy that captures the mood and the spirit of Joel’s page turner. Enjoy it all! “ – Jeph Loeb, writer, Batman: The Long Halloween, producer, Daredevil TV show, Jessica Jones TV show
“Joel Meadows and Andy Bennett have delivered a rare treat for fans of Sherlock Holmes – tantalising new stories that stay true to the tone and aesthetic of the canon.” – Frank Quitely, artist, All-Star Superman, Jupiter’s Legacy
