Jednako kao i prvi dio, dobar crtež, neuzbudljiva priča. Samo zbog crteža Lacija evo darežljiva trojka jer je lik zaslužio više s obzirom na umijeće.

3,5/5 This new Sherlock Holmes premise was quite intrigueing. I mean, Sherlock Holmes meets vampires! And they are old school vampires, not these modern ones, which was refreshing to see. Storywise, the first graphic novel was a bit slow paced but this sequel had a healthy amount of action and a new approach to Holmes who was more an action hero, rather than always deductive sleuth. I liked it. The only thing lacking were pages and that's why I gave it a 3,5. The drawings are phenomenal and the first person narrative is a plus. I enjoyed it as a mystery novel fan and also as a fan of the supernatural beings.

Again, excellent graphics, but the płot was completely not engaging, with plotholes here and there.

I like this one better than the first one! Somehow I connected better with the characters and understood their actions and belifs.

I really liked that Sherlock helped Chanes in the end, even though he thought vampires were disguisting creatures of hell.

In Svizzera, ormai lo sappiamo, Sherlock Holmes non muore ed è costretto a rimanere nascosto per un po' di tempo per sfuggire agli scagnozzi di Moriarty, qualcuno sa della sua sopravvivenza, una comunità di vampiri proprio nel cuore di Londra e legata all'Impero britannico sembra aver bisogno del suo aiuto per eliminare una "mina vagante", Sherlock Holmes non può non collaborare altrimenti ne pagheranno le conseguenze Watson e sua moglie Mary. Il grande detective deve di nuovo mettere a frutto tutte le sue conoscenze e capacità deduttive per salvare l'amico e se stesso.
Inutile dire che tutto quello che riguarda Holmes mi affascina e conquista.

Ik dacht dat als ik deel 2 maar had gelezen dat het beter zou worden. Oordeel blijft ongewijzigd: niet voor mij.

“Sherlock Holmes and the Vampires of London” by by Sylvain Cordurié, Daniel Chabon (Editor), Laci (Illustrations) (2013) Volume#2

“I'm not a man to be governed by sentiments. Even if I wanted to, it's too late.” - Sherlock (p51)

“Why choose this place?”
“I have fond memories … My family lived less than a mile from here and got supplies from the farm. As I was a curious child and liked by the owners, they taught me about their daily lives.
It is in this forge that I learnt patience, a certain sense of method, satisfaction of a job well done... qualities which served me when I became interested in the violin and then chemistry.” - Sherlock (p82)

“There is one thing I believe in: the humane side of a criminal, however hardened he be, deserves to cultivated.” - Sherlock (p92)
