A sequel mystery of the classic H.G. Wells novel, The War of the World, this graphic novel takes up what might have happened if one Martian survived and was fed human blood in exchange for knowledge of Martian technology. Exsanguinated bodies are discovered in the Thames River at low tide and a Scotsman comes to London to search for his missing daughter. Major Robert Autumn and his man, Archibald Solomon Currie take up the search to discover what is happening.

The art work is well balanced with the amount of text. The heavily accented Scots and Cockney dialogue is pretty heavy and is on occasion, undecipherable.

Good story, cliffhanger...I'll be looking for the sequel. ( )

This dystopian War of the Worlds sequel has very capable writing and art. The basic premise, that England has scavenged and exploited Martian technology after the latter's failed invasion, is realized quite dramatically. It is reformatted from a webcomic, and after five chapters, the book seems to have finished a plot arc, but not a full story. There is a further volume, Scarlet Traces: The Great Game.

Marsianerna har dött och britterna har skapat ett nytt teknologiskt imperium baserat på deras teknik. De båda officerarna Robert Autumn och Archie Currie dras in i en värld av imperialistisk galenskap i deras sökande efter Curries försvunna brorsdotter. D'Israelis konst är makalös och albumet skulle fungera som ett konstverk även utan text. Vackert. ( )
