Sherlock Holmes: Dark Detective Vol. 2: Knights Of Frankenstein concludes as Holmes, Dr. Watson, and Mary confront the giant Marquis on the storm-lashed Orkney Isles, while Moriarty’s assassins close in. This finale pits razor wit against brutal threat as Holmes edges toward the truth behind Frankenstein-inspired misdirections. Christopher Sequeira writes a riveting second installment of his acclaimed feature detailing Holmes’s investigations into Jack the Ripper, weaving historical mystery with gothic fantasy. Dave Elsey conceived the series’ core concept, with Jan Scherpenhuizen and Philip Cornell delivering expressive art and lush Victorian colorization by Dan Lynch, enhanced by Elsey’s distinctive color effects. At 32 pages, the standalone issue blends suspense, creeping dread, and pulp adventure—an evocative capstone to a distinctive reimagining of Holmes that honors Conan Doyle while bending the myth into darker horizons.
