At last it’s here! The concluding issue of The Trial of Sherlock Holmes arrives in shops across the globe this week. It’s been an absolute pleasure working with Mr. Aaron Campbell on the series (the extra little bits he’s done for the collected edition are fantastic too) and we really hope we’ll get to write for him again very soon. Maybe another Holmes story?
We’ve got a few preview pages to show you but, as always, they are a bit spoiler-ish so please don’t read unless you’re already up to date with the issues.
We can’t wait to hear what everyone thinks of the grand finale.
EDIT: Some great reviews coming in already. They are pretty spoilerific however so, again, please don’t read unless you’ve already read the issue.

I found myself enjoying the series more & more as it progressed -classic Sherlock with a nice (dare I say more contemporary?) twist! I hope you’ll revisit the character one of those days. Good show!
@J. Folgard – you are too kind sir!
Hey, credit where credit’s due! I love Holmes/steampunk-oriented stuff, but it was great to see such a “realistic”, grounded iteration of the character -proof that he can still be exciting by his own right, without added fantasy trappings. One of my best picks for the week, along with Paul Guinan’s brilliant “Boilerplate” book -check it out, it’s huge fun! Cheers!
