    Well, that explains why I never heard about it.

    I don't recall if Sherlock made reference to it, but Holmes is a recovering drug addict in Elementary. Initially, Watson was even hired by his father to keep him clean.

    I mean while I'm absolutely making fun of you just about every version of Sherlock Holmes I can think of recently has had him do it ever since ACD first wrote him.

    Overcoming it is a part of his character.

    It says comic a la carte so it's probably an anthology.

    I'm sorry for snapping at you. It was wrong of me and I shouldn't have done it, I know better than that. I can't say this doesn't change how I view him, the image of world's greatest detective. Maybe I should take a break from all of this, I think I'm getting more irritated in general.

    Ah yeah you're probably right. Thought the list of authors was weird if it was to be an actual full on story manga.

    So you actually only knew of him at the most surface level that he's a great detective, and never read the books, got it.

    There's nothing wrong with being uninformed or you should get mad at ppl poking fun at you being uninformed, it's part of the fun. Just appreciate the references because let me tell you Fate Holmes is pretty on point with how he was in the books.

    Lack of a hat aside, FGO's design is a lot more traditional image of Sherlock to me than BBC's.

    There's a distinct resemblance to Benedict Cumberbacht (or however that is spelled)

    And his final art has the pose and framing resemble an older Sherlock Holmes show I don't recall the name of.
