A few short weeks ago, I had the pleasure of giving a Marvel HQ tour to some of the amazing folks behind the TV show "Sherlock": star Benedict Cumberbatch and Executive Producers Steven Moffat & Sue Vertue. They were incredibly nice and it was a great visit. Much like when Danny Pudi visited Marvel, Benedict, Steven and Sue found themselves surrounded by fans at Marvel--even signging DVDs for AMAZING SPIDER-MAN writer Dan Slott!

I also enlisted the help of Marvel Comics editors Nick Lowe and Jeanine Schaefer to record an episode of our This Week in Marvel podcast with the "Sherlock" crew. That episode will go live on Tuesday, May 22 and you can download it on Marvel.com, iTunes or Zune.

The "Sherlock" U.S. finale airs Sunday, May 20 at 9 p.m. on Masterpiece on PBS. You can also stream episodes of "Sherlock" for a limited time at pbs.org/sherlock. Check out Masterpiece on Facebook and Twitter (#SherlockPBS), and follow @Steven_Moffat and @SueVertue on Twitter. To find out if Benedict Cumberbatch has an official Twitter account, you'll have to listen to the podcast when it's available. :)

Check out more of the photos from their visit, taken by Judith Stephens, below:

SO MANY PHOTOS! Seriously, they were great. I expect every one of these photos to be all over Tumblr and Twitter within 20 minutes. And that's okay. :)
