Sherlock Holmes and The Empire Builders The Gene Genie Volume One is live now on zoop and it’s about ten per cent past its funding target so far. We have got the Mark Chiarello cover in now too with its nifty logo, the Liam Sharp and Bill Sienkiewicz print which is part of the campaign too and the pin up from Shawn Martinbrough which is one of the add-ons for the campaign. There’s also the Walt Simonson cover rough included here. We are getting a Barry Kitson original piece which will be another pin-up too. Here’s Shawn Martinbrough’s piece in colour now too and the process so far from Walt Simonson plus we have a new add-on, a chance for people to commission a head shot from Holmes artist Andy Bennett too. Our first stretch goal of $6500 will get an A4 Holmes print for everyone who pledges by British artist David Hitchcock. Here’s Andy Bennett’s print in colour now included…

Sherlock Holmes and the Empire Builders is an alternate world sci fi epic adventure featuring the world’s greatest detective as you’ve never seen him before. When Dr Watson leaves Holmes to join Crick to unravel the human DNA helix, he begins to realise that he is working for the world’s most evil man. So Holmes has to join forces with an unlikely group of rebels to defeat Watson’s employer.

Testing the waters with three shorts which ran in Tripwire magazine, we felt that now was the time to debut this in its own graphic novel series. This will be a hardcover with a dust jacket running at 84 pages with 64 pages of story plus character sketches, script pages and an interview offering extra information on the series.

Cover #1 (coming soon): Walter Simonson
Cover #2 (coming soon): Mark Chiarello

“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

 ‘Drawing from the wonderful classic that is Sherlock Holmes, Joel Meadows and Tripwire have once again delivered an electrifying story in a dynamically driven comic spread’. – Richard Taylor, Wētā Workshop

“A brilliant celebration of an iconic character. Joel Meadows delivers in style, with a refreshing take on Sherlock Holmes and the art by Andy Bennett is just what you need in a comic. I can’t recommend it enough. “
