Book Victorian undead legacy

Der Prolog zur eigentlichen Handlung findet rund 50 Jahre davor statt Auf London gehen Bruchst cke eines gr nlich leuchtenden Kometen nieder Die Farbe stellt eine optische Verbindung zu einer unheimlichen Krankheit her Menschen erkranken und sterben schnell erwachen aber wieder zum Leben als aggressive und menschenhungrige Untote 50 Jahre sp ter im Jahr 1898 die Jahresangaben spielen bei den F llen von Sherlock Holmes durchaus eine Rolle besuchen Holmes und Watson incognito ein Etablisment dass den G sten die Erf llung ihrer geheimsten W nsche verspricht Der Gastgeber ein geheimnisvoller Hope versucht sie mit Licht zu hypnotisieren doch sie k nnen die Lichtquelle zerst ren Als sie Hope berw ltigen wollen stellen sie fest dass es sich bei ihm um ein Simulacra einen menschen hnlichen Roboter handelt wobei dieser zeitgem rein mechanisch elektrisch funktioniert Dieser Hope hat hohe Beamte der Regierung erpresst deswegen ist Holmes auch aktiv geworden Doch bevor Holmes die Spur weiter verfolgen kann ersucht ihn Inspektor Lestrade in einem dringenden anderen Fall um Hilfe wie man es aus vielen Geschichten kennt und Lestrade wendet sich nur dann widerwillig an Holmes wenn er selbst nicht weiter wei Er f hrt Holmes und Watson zu einem Arbeiter der bei der Erweiterung U Bahn gearbeitet hat und pl tzlich unglaubliche Aggressionen zeigt Fabbri der Zeichner l sst keinen Zweifel dieser Mann ist ein Zombie gruselig gr ner Teint und nur zu unartikulierten Lauten f hig Holmes wie wohl mit Zombies unvertraut ist jedoch keineswegs geschockt sondern betrachtet ihn mit wissenschaftlicher Neugier auch den Kopf eines Zombies der immer noch zu leben scheint Der Leser wei schon dass der Mann in einem neu gegrabenen U Bahnstollen von einem Zombie gebissen wurde und so ebenfalls zu einem wurde Das Interesse von Holmes und Watson ist nat rlich geweckt aber bevor sie weitere Nachforschungen anstellen k nnen treten einige Herren in schwarzen Anz gen auf die Lestrade von dieser Sache Abstand nehmen lassen und er Holmes und Watson wieder nach Hause komplimentiert Holmes l sst das keine Ruhe er bricht zu einer n chtlichen Erkundung in den Londoner Untergrund auf bei der ihn Watson dem diese lebende Leiche Grauen eingefl t hat dennoch begleitet Sie gelangen in eine unterirdische Kaverne mit altert mlichen H usern und einer unwirklichen Atmosph re Hier werden sie von einer Horde Zombies angegriffen gegen die sie sich tapfer wehren Aber als sie sich schon von ihnen umzingelt sehen kommen ihnen speziell ausger stete Soldaten zu Hilfe Und dann hat ein weitere bekannte Gestalt des Sherlock Holmes Universums seinen Auftritt Mycroft Holmes als Mitglied des k niglichen Geheimdienstes Er setzt das Detektiv Duo ber die unheimliche Zombieseuche und ihre radikale Bek mpfung durch die Regierung ins Bild. Victorian Undead Graphic novels Es gibt jedoch keine Verschnaufpause ein geheimnisvoller Unhold der selbst wie ein Zombie wirkt l sst eine Armee von Zombies auf London los gegen die sich das Empire bald mit allen Mitteln verteidigen muss Holmes h lt diese Bedrohung jedoch nicht davon ab Nachforschungen anzustellen Ein Buch ber Die Dynamik von Asteroiden von niemand anderem geschrieben als von Professor James Moriarty1 dem Widersacher von Holmes bringt ihn auf die richtige Spur die auch wieder zu dem Schurken Hope f hrt Hier sollte man erw hnen dass dieses Abenteuer nach dem Zweikampf zwischen Holmes und Moriarty an den Reichenbachf llen angesiedelt ist nachdem Holmes bekannterma en lange f r tot gehalten wurdeDie Handlung nimmt einen apokalyptischen Verlauf wie man es aus vielen Zombie Erz hlungen kennt Davide Fabbri hat nun reichlich Gelegenheit die Umtriebe der Untoten im historischen Ambiente des London vor rund hundert Jahren auszumalen Nat rlich ist das nicht so grauenvoll und unheimlich wie im Film aber daf r wird hier eine bekannte Umgebung mit dem Zombiehorror konfrontiert was den unangenehmen Eindruck vermittelt dass keine Zeit und kein Ort vor Zombies sicher ist. Victorian Undead Graphic novels Sherlock Holmes wird hier durchaus ernst genommen Der SH Kenner findet hier viele vertraute Elemente vor Holmes ist bei einem solchen Fall nat rlich nicht nur der geniale Detektiv sondern allgemein ein klarer Denker der sich der Bedrohung sehr bewusst ist und unerschrocken gegen sie vorgeht Ein Action Held was aber durchaus eine plausible Erweiterung der klassischen Figur ist wie schon der Film Sherlock Holmes von Guy Ritchie zeigt Der Zeichner hat seinen Sherlock Holmes auch u erlich mit einigen Merkmalen des Originals ausgestattet wenngleich er sein Raubvogelprofil nicht bernommen hat Das ist mit den Konventionen des amerikanischen Comic Stils schlecht kompatibel Und Doktor Watson wird schon als angejahrter Herr im besten Alter dargestellt Das ist eine Konvention die nicht unbedingt stimmig ist da Watson nur wenig lter wie Holmes sein d rfte Der Handlungsaufbau ist geschickt und dynamisch Spannung ist gew hrleistet. Victorian Undead Graphic novels list Auch wenn man sagen muss dass letztendlich die Handlung und ihre Elemente f r einen Phantastik Kenner nicht wirklich berraschend sind ist die Neukombination doch gelungen da die Eigenheiten der Sujets in die Geschichte gut integriert wurden Die im Comic g ngige Crossover Masche hat hier zu einem sehr unterhaltsamen und lesbaren Comic gef hrt Freunde des Phantastischen kommen auf ihre Kosten 1401228402 Tapping into the cultural zeitgeist Edginton and Fabbri effectively combine the popular genres of steampunk zombies and Sherlock Holmes in a clever tale of Victorian terror In March 1854 an alien ship lights up the skies above London Some thirty years later Scotland Yard calls on Holmes and Watson to investigate the odd occurrence of the dead who refuse to stay dead Edginton wisely populates his tale with classic Holmesian elements Mrs Watson Mycroft Lestrade and most importantly Holmes himself deducing the opaque and improbable Eschewing the trend to portray Watson as a buffoon in Victorian Undead the war veteran and respected physician functions as an valued ally and aide de camp Additionally unlike Tony Moore s cover artist Fabbri illustrates Holmes in the far accurate bowler and suit than the popular deerstalker cap and Inverness cape coat an ensemble never worn in the city As Holmes digs further he discovers a massive government cover up and a long dead foe s horrific machinations A visual delight the well written Victorian Undead Sherlock Holmes vs Zombies emerges as a welcome addition to the Holmes mythos 1401228402 If you can say a fun twist on a story about zombies that is how I would describe this book I m not sure if anything with zombies in it should be classified as fun but who says we need to take of this kind of genere seriously Sherlock Holmes and Moriarty meet again this time man v zombie It s a good way to pass an hour or so the story is ok and the artwork outstanding If you are a Sherlock Holmes aficionado you might think it silly but for me who mostly watches Sherlock on the big and small screen it was fine 1401228402 While skeptical of the series being able to capture the essense of Holmes with the added Zombification I took a leap and was pleasantly surpised by the series. Book Victorian undead citadel While the initial pages didn t draw me in completely by the end of the first issue I was hooked The pacing of the series is very much akin to traditional Sherlock Holmes full of investigative detective work slow reveals and wonderful dialog The writer captures the dialog of Holmes and Watson very well. Book Victorian undead citadel I was also very pleased to see the inclusion of several other characters from the original works who will remain unnamed for the sake of those who have not read the series yet The art was good Not mindblowing but enjoyable and not distracting Even the zombie plot was plausible and not over the top extraordinary as it could have been At the end of the series I truly felt I had read a Sherlock Holmes mystery Definitely worth checking out 1401228402 El dibujo es bueno y la ambientaci n tambi n pero el gui n es una gran mierda L stima porque la idea no es mala del todo 1401228402 Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson battle a zombie outbreak that threatens to overwhelm London In 1854 a meteor streaked across London s skies bringing with it a zombie plague For twenty years Her Majesty s Secret Service kept the threat under control But now dastardly fi end Moriarty has begun using the zombies in an attempt to overthrow the Victorian Government Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson must face off against their favorite foe MI 5 and zombies at the same time Victorian Undead Sherlock Holmes vs Zombies Victorian Undead 1 I tend to avoid high concept stuff from unknown creators like the plague especially if it features zombies or steampunk but I also read every bit of Holmes pastiche I can get my hands on so there you go This is Holmes in Rathbone mode a smart dynamic man of action who solves the mystery and saves the day by bravery and initiative as much as deduction which is not at all out of character just one possible perspective It can be argued that Holmes should be disproving the supernatural as he did in the case of the Sussex Vampire but zombieism is presented as a phenomena that is amenable to scientific analysis The interplay between Holmes and Watson and Mycroft is nicely done the scenes under London are excellent and the great detective actually does do his fair share of detecting even if you have to pay attention to notice it amongst the overt hi jinks 1401228402 Three and a half stars. Victorian Undead epub reader What s a good literary cash cow if you can t regurgitate it over and over and over again In this case you combine an evergreen literary icon Sherlock Holmes with the monster de jour zombies and viola Sherlock Holmes vs Zombies This was published in 2010 so maybe people hadn t reached the shambling dead breaking point back then. Book Victorian undead nightmare This one is an entertaining and quick read in a pandering obvious kind of way It hits all the Sherlock and zombie formulaic notes and doesn t take itself too seriously Moriarity Mycroft England in peril London overrun with zombies and oh yeah let s hit them shoot them do the stabby to them In the noggin It s elementary kids. Victorian undeadfoia What a fiendish turn of events The zombies speak English Bollocks and what Ho Cheerio 1401228402 You must face the facts gentlemen This is a foe who never sleeps who knows neither pain nor fear nor injury whose ranks swell with every bite and tear. Kindle Victorian undead nightmare What with all the elegant dialogue and Mrs Hudson preparing tea this is certainly the most well mannered zombie book I ve read 1401228402 Hmmm This was pretty much what I expected with all the usual characters Holmes is a pompous know it all No time is ever wasted Watson You must put such instances to efficient use to exercise the mind Watson is the ever loyal sidekick I left you to face Moriarty alone once beforeI swore to muself I would never do so again I just pray my nerve will hold Mycroft jumps in and saves the day at just the right moment Moriarty is an evil swine the zombies says thins like ggaaaakkkkk while bearing their teeth The graphics are great but the switching between zombies and automatons left me confused a couple of times about which character Moriarty was But it s Sherlock Holmes vs Zombies so really don t put too much thought into it It s not meant to be thought provoking 1401228402 Look it s just exactly what it says on the tin Sherlock Holmes vs Zombies It s a fun time and it has fairly accurate Holmes Watson characterization unlike SOME things these days cough but it s also incredibly formulaic with no real depth If you re just looking for a quick read where you can watch Sherlock lopping the heads off of some zombies then this is your thing but if you re expecting anything than that you might want to steer clear Also I m a bit confused by the ending because it sets up a sequel but the next book in the series is about something completely different so 1401228402
