The Picks:

Baker Street Peculiars 1Baker Street Peculiars #1 – BOOM! Studios releases a new title that brings a fun twist on the great detective Sherlock Holmes. It’s 1930s London, and a giant stone lion has come to life, wreaking havoc on the city. Getting to the bottom of this case is a job for none other than the world’s most famous detective, Sherlock Holmes. Except Sherlock Holmes doesn’t actually exist—he is the creation of housekeeper Mrs. Hudson who is the real detective and has been writing Holmes’s adventures under the pen name of John Watson. Running around the city in disguise, she’s already overwhelmed with cases and must call on the help of a precocious bunch of young detectives-in-training to solve the mystery of the living statues. Sherlock Holmes has seen quite the resurgence in media lately, and this new take by Roger Langridge is not only a perfect fit but is sure to be just as fun and entertaining as his other all-ages works.

Delilah Dirk King's ShillingDelilah Dirk And The King’s Shilling GN – First Second sees the return of the globetrotting troublemaker Delilah Dirk. While going about their business of peacefully raiding castles and traipsing across enemy lines, Delilah Dirk and her loyal Turkish friend Selim draw the unwanted attention of the English Army. Accused of espionage against the British crown, Delilah and Selim must do everything in their power to clear their names, be it sneaking, skirmishing, and even sword fighting. But Delilah may have met her match when she faces having to put on a gown and have a nice cup of tea with her mother. The first Delilah Dirk was a delight, and this next volume has been a long time coming. This series is a must for any serious graphic novel collection.
