'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.
Daredevil by Mark Waid & Chris Samne Omnibus, Vol. 1

Daredevil continues to be my favourite Superhero after reading this Daredevil Omnibus by Mark Waid. It's a different take on the character from recent decades, losing some of the darkness that was added during Frank Millar's brilliant run, and intensified during the work of Bendis. Over the years of reading DD comics, he has got darker, grittier and more disturbed, but Waid's run is mostly fun and light, with only an occasional nod towards the darker years. A fantastic addition to the Man Without Fear's arsenal of comics and well worth a read. I can't wait to get the next Omnibus of Waid's work as this o my contains the first half of his writing of the character.
