As far as TV shows Penny Dreadful is one of the best, this series acts as a prequel and for the most part you do not have to be a watcher of the show to read it.
The writing by Krysty Wilson-Cairns is sharp and to the point allowing the art by Louie De Matinis to steal some of the show but nonetheless this is a great start to the series.
