The Complete Scarlet Traces Vol. 1 by Ian Edginton

3.0

'Scarlet Traces' is an interesting comic book adaptation of H.G. Wells' classic sci-fi 'The War of the Worlds'. The first half of this comic is a slightly simplified, scene for scene copy of the original book which is enjoyable enough. The second half is a sequel to the book, set 10 years after the Martian Invasion and the Britain has been using the Martian Technology to help build the British Empire. It's a sort of strange, futuristic Victorian England murder mystery adventure. Certainly not the worlds greatest comic, but it's a quick enjoyable read.
