Welcome to John Joseph Adams.
In honor of his anthology, the Improbable Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, and the new Holmes film opening Christmas Day, Babel Clash asks the hard questions. We’ll begin with a real puzzler: “Who’s smarter, Sherlock Holmes or Gandalf?”

When Lev Grossman visited Babel Clash, we discussed the most powerful wizards in modern fantasy literature. Who would win the great wizard fight?
Looking back at that conversation, the names mentioned included: Gandalf, Quentin Coldwater, Harry Potter, Raistlin Majere, Richard Rahl, Bayaz, Dr. Strange, Doctor Fate, Pug, Belgarath and Rand al’Thor. All guys.
