Good idea - could have been better - Rated
This is the follow up to the first Scarlet Traces graphic novel set more than 40 years on. The idea is excellent - a hideous conspiracy at the heart of the British Empire and Britain involved in a war with Mars that has dissolved into a disastrous war of attrition. It neatly picks up one part of the plot of The War of the Worlds (that I won't spoil) to continue the story.
The book is let down in one main respect in that it's really trying to tell a very large story, a story much bigger than what's contained within the book. Every panel matters in this intricate story and it's easy to miss out on vital detail if you read it too quickly. That said the dialogue and exposition are excellent the artwork beautifully vivid and detailed. I'd be intrigued to see the story continued in another volume.
Sci-Fi Steam Punk style fun - Rated
A very good follow up to Scarlet Traces and Ties-in well with the abridged edition of War of the Worlds graphic novel. This has a very steam punk feel to it and is set in a world where the sun never did set on the British Empire. This time however the author seems to have widened his scope and borrowed from other sci-fi classic works like Alan Moore did in The League of Extraordinary Men graphic novel. Lots of Dan Dare style spaceships with homage paid to Ray Bradbury and many others. Buy the other two books in the series first as you will find yourself lost, this graphic novel does move at break neck speed at times.
Outstanding alternate history war story! - Rated
2000AD's Ian Edginton and D'Israeli bring us a further huge "What-if" beyond War of The Worlds, with outstanding art, and an amazing script.
It's now the mid-1940s in this alternate Britain, where the sun never shone on the British Empire. There has been no WW1 or WW2 on this earth, but there HAS been a British-led invasion of Mars, costing millions of lives. And rebellion is brewing. But the Martians themselves are also about to stage a brutal counter-attack...
