Elementary, My Dear Watson … They’re all Dead
You know that we are deep in a zombie bubble when undead post-apocalyptic worlds are substituted with Victorian London. Introducing Victorian Undead by DC Comics. Coming soon to a comic store near you.
The plot? According to the article:
London, the year 1854. Gas lamps throw long shadows across closed storefronts; a horse-drawn carriage prattles down the cobblestone street, paying no mind to the feral children sleeping in the alley. The only sounds audible at this late-night hour are a bit of music rising from the pub on the corner and the low moan of a zombie shuffling over the sidewalk.
Wait – zombies?
Why are the dead rising in London? Who or what is behind their resurrection? It’s up to a certain famous detective and his erstwhile comrade to find out.
Honestly … Sherlock Holmes stories are interesting enough without throwing zombies into the mix. The x-factor in this case is going to be the writing. It does sound intriguing. Since this is a six book series, I imagine that you will see the entire compilation released in Barnes and Noble in the near future.
