Sherlock: The Blind Banker, Issue #2 is another home-run by Titan Comics, which published the comic I reviewed last night, Showman Killer 3. It's the English version of the manga adaptation of the second episode of BBC's Sherlock, with dialogue by the original authors and art by Jay. In this second issue, Sherlock Holmes has traced the recipient of a message graffiti'ed into an ultra-secure banking facility and found that recipient dead of a gunshot. Was it murder or suicide?
It's manga; it reads right-to-left, and it's in black-and-white for those that aren't used to the medium. Jay does a great job capturing the action and characters. I probably will buy Sherlock: The Lady in Pink in book form (it's $12 in tankoban-sized paperback instead of the $30 it would cost to buy all the issues), but at $5 a month, it's a little more palatable to buy the issues as they come out instead of waiting until 2018 to buy the paperback. I bought Cover C.
