Moriarty the Patriot Volume 2 takes place directly after the first volume and follows the Moriarty brothers as they try to take down the high society that mistreats the lower classes.
When I tell you I am absolutely OBSESSED with this series already and I'm only two volumes in. I've always been a Moriarty fan in the BBC show Sherlock and found the characters so intriguing. The fact that there's a whole manga that follows him and his cohorts just makes me so happy.
First off the story was just so good in this. The way William's brain works is absolutely brilliant. There was several moments in this volume that I freaked out over how smart he is. The way he is able to manipulate the situations to work in his favor and is always ten steps ahead of everyone else is one of my favorite things. Also, I adore Sebastian Moran. He's always been an intriguing character to me as well and I love that he's so funny in this.
I also have to mention that I love that we finally got Sherlock, Watson and Mrs. Hudson. Mrs. Hudson in this is such a badass, I love her. Sherlock definitely needs Watson with him to keep him balanced and I loved seeing how slightly unhinged Sherlock was. I can't wait to see how the dynamic between Moriarty and Sherlock is going to play out.
Of course, the art style in this is absolutely stunning. There is so much attention to even the littlest detail that I found myself staring at the pages just to pick it all up. The panels never feel too crowded or too sparse. It's perfectly done.
Overall, I am loving this manga series and I am so excited to read more of this manga series.
