If you frequent this site, you have probably stumbled across our reviews of Sherlock: A Scandal in Belgravia recently, among other Titan Comics releases. In case you missed them, you can find our reviews of issue one here and issue two here, should you be interested in previewing Titan's treatment of the Holmes characters.

Looking ahead at next week, not only is Titan going to be publishing the third issue in that series, but they will also be releasing the first issue in a new five-issue monthly series titled Adler. As the name suggests, the comic follows none other than Irene Adler, the famed lover of Sherlock Holmes, in her adventures to take down the ever-scheming Moriarty.

From Lavie Tidhar and Paul McCaffrey, Adler #1 seems to be an intriguing enough premise for anyone interested in the Sherlock Holmes universe and Titan has made it clear they know what they're doing with the Scandal in Belgravia title. The synopsis of the issue also mentions that our heroine will be teaming up with other famous female faces in this series, so it will be interesting to see what the creative team sends our way.

Check out the coveres below courtesy of the good people at Titan Comics. We've also included a synopsis at the bottom, so be sure to let us know what you think and whether or not you'll be picking this one up. Also, keep your eyes peeled for our review of the title next week!

Looks like the artist behind that cool otherworldly Holmesesque comic RUSE from the early 2000s

Is Sherlock Holmes really a public domain? I'd like to do something creatively out of these characters, but there seems to be an Estate of Conan Doyle on the internet.

@geekarchitect - The character is public domain, and so are most of the stories. The last ten stories will go public domain over the next 3 years.

Nice art! But the only Irene Adler I'm interested in is the X-Men villain
