I watched the new Netflix movie and I really liked it! This comic was very well done too! I love the art style and the last pages are just Enola's notes, it's cute! The mystery isn't that hard, but it goes way too fast, I got confused, and I think some parts that are here didn't happen in the movie. I do recommend it to those who liked the movie and/or the original novels! Also, who's excited about the sequel movie??? I know, I AM!
This is ok for a middle grade book - pretty simplistic. I admit I bristled as a Sherlock Holmes fan at the depiction of Sherlock and Mycroft, which bears zero resemblance to the original characters. But that's nit-picking. The art has a certain charm, but at times looks sloppy rather than whimsical, and it could be hard to make out what was happening. Still, this was short, free, and fulfilled a Popsugar prompt as I come down to the wire!
