I watched the new Netflix movie and I really liked it! This comic was very well done too! I love the art style and the last pages are just Enola's notes, it's cute! The mystery isn't that hard, but it goes way too fast, I got confused, and I think some parts that are here didn't happen in the movie. I do recommend it to those who liked the movie and/or the original novels! Also, who's excited about the sequel movie??? I know, I AM!
This is ok for a middle grade book - pretty simplistic. I admit I bristled as a Sherlock Holmes fan at the depiction of Sherlock and Mycroft, which bears zero resemblance to the original characters. But that's nit-picking. The art has a certain charm, but at times looks sloppy rather than whimsical, and it could be hard to make out what was happening. Still, this was short, free, and fulfilled a Popsugar prompt as I come down to the wire!
The illustrations are beautiful! I love the colors and the artwork.
I enjoy a good spin on Sherlock Holmes and this story did not disappoint. This graphic novel was broken up into three episodes, but the story flowed well with natural stopping points. There are a few pages separating each episode that include bits and pieces from the story, a storybook, summarizing and piecing together the story.
This is a great read for the those who enjoy a mystery.
Thank you to NetGalley for the download in exchange for an honest review.
