This second issue of the Holmes Inc. anthology is a even better deal than the first. It has 84 pages and it's available at the great price of free on iTunes. It still has the raw quality of the art which I highlighted from my review of the first issue, which is understandable since this are the work of some pretty talented amateur storytellers.

Unlike the first issue which pleasantly surprised me, this one, being more of the same tends to be repetitive. Probably because this is Holmes inc. There is no Dr. Watson to act as a foil to Holmes. The Holmes-Watson interplay is the glue that held the original Arthur Conan Doyle stories together. Seeing none of that here made me yearn to reread the original stories again.
