We previously reported that Titan Comics would be delivering a new title called
Adler this month, and for anyone who is a fan of the literary character Sherlock Holmes, it looks to be quite the interesting ride.
Holmes is known for being the greatest detective, but there is only one woman who has ever managed to match wits with the sleuth. That's none other than Irene Adler herself, the titlar heroine of the comic book. The new series from celebrated World Fantasy writer Lavie Tidhar
(Osama) and experienced comic book artist Paul McCaffrey
(TMNT) sees our heroine facing down none other than Moriarty, the long-time nemesis of Sherlock.
Titan Comics has shared the following trailer previewing what the issue has in store for readers when it hits tomorrow (February 5th). Irene Adler has no plans on facing Moriarty alone as she teams up with Jane Eyre, Marie Curie, Lady Havisham, and more to put a stop to Sherlock's rival once and for all.
Watch the trailer below for a glimpse at the issue to come!
