\"\"When Sir Arthur Conan Doyle died in 1930, his Sherlock Holmes legacy comprised four novels and 56 stories. Sherlock has since become an unstoppable literary institution, proliferating across mediums; although his archnemesis, Professor James Moriarty, only appeared in six of Doyle\u2019s original works, his own afterlife prodigiously continues.<\/p>\n

Here, popular Japanese manga creator Ryosuke Takeuchi indulges his own empathy for villains \u2013 \u201cI think it\u2019s fun to imagine … a villain\u2019s motivations [that] aren\u2019t explained in a story\u201d \u2013 in a 13-volume (thus far) series, illustrated by Hikaru Miyoshi, who imbues every page with energetic flair.<\/p>\n

This first volume of the English-translated version introduces the infamous professor as the older of two orphans, William and Louis, adopted by an aristocratic family. Despite a brilliant, gentle fa\u00e7ade, William has already taught his fellow orphans, \u201cKILL ALL EVIL NOBLES!\u201d Mistreated in their posh new home, the brothers find a surprising ally in Lord Albert, the older son who recognizes his family, and the world, is \u201cterribly corrupt… so dirty … and revolting.\u201d<\/p>\n

Albert\u2019s disgust turns murderous, maneuvering the perfect rebirth of the Moriarty brothers \u2013 Count-apparent Albert, mathematics professor William James, and family caretaker Louis \u2013 who follow no laws but their own righteous determination to destroy abusive social hierarchies and champion the common man.<\/p>\n

An addictive new homage begins.<\/p>\n
