The Complete Dracula #2 will arrive in shops across the USA & Canada tomorrow (UK & Europe on Thursday).
The second issue begins with the story of the doomed ship The Demeter as it sails from Varna to Whitby carrying a deadly cargo. The voyage takes place between mid July and early August so, for those of you following the story in real time via Dracula Blogged, Blog Dracula or Real Time Dracula (with all it’s Twitter based goodness), the action is actually taking place as I type.
For those of you who can’t wait to get your hands on a copy of #2 here’s a sneek preview of pages 1 to 5 - digitally painted by Mr. Colton Worley (take a bow sir) ably assited by Mr. Aaron Campbell’s splendid layouts.

We are very pleased to announce that the third part of our Dynamite Entertainment series The Trial of Sherlock Holmes will arrive in shops across the world this week.
As a special treat for you lucky readers we’ve got the first five pages of the issue to show you.
Beware however; if you haven’t read #1 or #2 yet (why ever not?) then they will spoil some things for you. You’ve only got yourself to blame!
Don’t forget to let us know what you think of the issue, and the series, over on our Forum.
Issue #2 of our Dynamite Entertainment series The Trial of Sherlock Holmes arrives in comic shops across the US and Canada today (UK and Europe tomorrow).
The second issue is entitled “A Locked Room” and has already received some very positive (if somewhat spoiler filled) reviews. Continuing the spoiler-ish theme we thought we’d offer you the chance of a sneak peek at the first five pages. Be aware though that, if you haven’t read #1 yet, you might ruin a surprise or two.
You have been warned!

Even though the first issue of our series The Trial of Sherlock Holmes doesn’t actually go on sale until May Dynamite have been sending out uncoloured proof versions to a few people. Little did we realise that this would mean our first review would roll in almost two months early. Thankfully it’s a good one!

The game is afoot, indeed.
As was announced by Dynamite Entertainment at the New York Comic Con, Sherlock Holmes is coming back to comics.
The return will be handled by writers Leah Moore and John Reppion, with interior artist Aaron Campbell and cover artist John Cassaday in the May-debuting storyline, “The Trial of Sherlock Holmes.”
For the writers, writing the Sherlock Holmes series at Dynamite Entertainment will be their second time adapting a classic literary character, as Moore and Reppion are also adapting Bram Stoker’s Dracula in The Complete Dracula with artist Colton Worley beginning in April.
So what does the writing duo have planned?
We asked.

Official Press Release (via www.comicbookresources.com)
Dynamite Entertainment has announced that they will continue their growing exploration of literary icons this May by unraveling the ultimate mystery with the debut of a new comic book series featuring the ultimate detective — Sherlock Holmes!
Written by Leah Moore and John Reppion, Sherlock Holmes #1 begins the “Trial of Sherlock Holmes”, a NEW story which presents the great detective with an all-too personal quandary and explores the nature of the man and his world with a mix of refined ambiance, carefully crafted mystery and chilling suspense! From gaslight to deerstalker cap, the Victorian mood of the series is designed with reverence and a modern edge and presented flawlessly by the artistic talents of Aaron Campbell — and it all happens under striking and iconic covers by Eisner Award Winning artist, John Cassaday, with colors by Eisner Award Winning colorist, Laura Martin.
Moore and Reppion are currently featured in the pages of Dynamite’s Dracula adaptation, while artist Aaron Campbell is the newest artistic sensation to make his home at Dynamite.
About the new Holmes series, Dynamite President and Publisher Nick Barrucci exclaimed, “That’s right, folks, the comic racks are going to have to make room for another great detective! The original detective! Already John [Reppion] and Leah [Moore] proved their ability to bring literary icons into comics, especially in and around the Victorian Age. So fans can rest assured that Holmes… and Watson… are in capable hands. What’s more, fans are going to love Aaron Campbell’s interior art, as he visually re-creates the world of Sherlock Holmes and the Victorian Age. And with John Cassaday providing covers… well, it’s as our detective says, ‘Elementary, my dear Watson,’!”
Look for the thrills and mystery to begin unraveling this May! Sherlock Holmes will be a full-color series.
