Beautiful art in this Edwardian mystery where Lucifer Box is hired to get to the bottom of the case of disappearing scientists.It's really good but it missed out one of the best characters, the book is still way better
Yeahhhhh really disappointed actually. Firstly, the abridgement doesnt help. The fun of the book (once I finally allowed myself to enjoy it) was an element of self-indulgent meandering and the cut down graphic novel version just feels rushed. I also didnt enjoy the artwork. It feels like the artist tried for Aubrey Beardsley and then missed the mark - by miles. It feels bare and basic when I was expecting something a little more fun and decadent. Maybe I was expecting something along the lines
this book wasn't even mehhh it got to a point it was already ehhhh, it looked like a mexican soap opera, i don't know if the book is any better, but i'm not interest to be honest, they had the stupidest plot twists and you're like what the hell, and by the end they tried to be steampunk, no, please just leave steampunk alone please. on the good side the art was pretty good, if you want to see pretty good art you should totally pick this up, but he story is kinda sucky, it's basically Sherlock

Enjoyed the story and characters, but really some of the drawings were very amateurish, they just didn't work. I'll look out for the books rather than graphic novels in future.
While the story itself is not as in depth as the original book (obviously), the art does such a good job of bringing the character and the action and the settings to life. There is no colour, it is only black and white. This is a shame in some respects, because i would have loved some colour in a few particular panels (mostly the violent ones, i will confesswhats a blood splatter without a little red?). On the other hand, the black and white provides such a noir, mystery and classy feel to the
