    It's a re-imagining of the Sherlock Holmes characters, and stories as Harlem based African-Americans. Watson is an Afghan war veteran who works at a medical clinic, Holmes is his typical eccentric self of a Private Investigator. They fight crime.

    Thanks, but for "elaborate" I was also hoping to know more about who the creators are; who publishes the comic book; and whether it comes in printed copies or if it's only available digitally.

    My apologies. Karl Bollers is writer, he's done some work for Marvel/DC in the past but I believe he's now mostly on the editorial side with Dynamite. Larry Stroman, and Rick Leonardi share art duties. The name of the publisher escapes me, but I'm fairly certain it's essentially just the creator's own company. I've seen it in print, but I would imagine it's far easier to obtain on comixology like I did.

    However, some us prefer not to read digital comic books.
    (Too much of a hassle, especially if you only use an old desktop computer.)

    Steve Harris from DC's Michael Cray also did work on the book.

    Brandon Easton also helped. He did IDW's MASK & Andre The Giant novel.

    There are two volumes and I would say Amazon is your best bet because floppies are rather hard to find.

    THe company is New Paradigm Studios and one of the employees was in the movie White Space that came out in August.

    I got the floppies of this. Damn good book. Always wondered why it stopped coming out.

    Could be scheduling issues or lack of funds.

    I loved the hell out of this series.

    Same here.
    Didn't they even get an Eisner nom?
    I definitely would have stuck around for more.
