comment
Victorian Undead is a comic series by written by Ian Edginton, with art by Davide Fabbri that sees Sherlock Holmes battling a number of supernatural threats in Victorian London.The first six issue series Victorian Undead:Sherlock Holmes vs Zombies pits Holmes and Watson against a Zombie plague that threatens London while dealing with the return of an old adversary.This was followed by a oneshot, Victorian Undead Special: Sherlock Holmes vs. Jekyll/Hyde set in the aftermath of the first series, featuring Holmes and Watson dealing with the strange case of Dr. Jekyll.A second series Victorian Undead: Sherlock Holmes vs. Dracula would pit the detective against the good count after the novel's events go off the rails.

Transhuman Treachery
 Victorian Undead (Comic Book) / int_19f6e383
comment
Transhuman Treachery: Lucy Westerna. In each confrontation with the protagonists, she goes on and on to the protagonists how she likes the power that being a vampire has given her. Though she reveals she's not very loyal to Dracula either, leaving in the middle of the conflict with her newfound power rather than be killed. Notably, in a reversal of the novel, she's not killed either and still at large in London to spread vampirism at her own pace

Government Conspiracy

Government Conspiracy: The British government covered up the 1854 zombie outbreak as a cholera outbreak. Even Dr. John Snow kept his silence in exchange for the government supporting an extensive sanitation program. They once again cover up the second outbreak caused by Moriarty. Holmes and Watson are obligated to not speak of this to the public much to the latter's disappointment.
