| 1. The Hound of the Baskervilles (Illustrated Classics): A Sherlock Holmes Graphic Novel | 
|
By: Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
Publisher: Sterling
August 06, 2009
While certainly enjoyable in its' own right, there could be a loftier purpose behind this graphic novel, one that is quite commendable and hopefully just the dawning of many similar projects to follow. Transposing traditional novels into more reader friendly alternatives may open up these time treasured tomes to an entirely new audience, people who normally don't read many full length books, and what... more

| 2. H. G. Wells' The War Of The Worlds | 
|
By: Ian Edginton, D'Israeli
Publisher: Dark Horse
May 03, 2006
Generally speaking, I'm a thoroughgoing fan of graphic novels (as opposed to comic books or hardcover superhero anthologies), and anything by H.G. Wells would seem a natural for adaptation, but Edginton has kind of missed the boat. He skips over many of the more interesting parts of the story, and then brings in flying machines that suspiciously resemble those in the Hollywood film. The result is a... more

| 3. Scarlet Traces |
|
By: Ian Edginton, D'Israeli
Publisher: Dark Horse
September 09, 2003
The idea of what happens after Britain wins The War of the Worlds is well conceived and executed. They obtain technivcal knowledge decades, perhaps centuries, ahead, but at a dreadful price. The basic plot is also good. However, the book is simply way too short for the story being told. Wham, bam, it's over. While the characters and plot are promising, their development is minimal. Still, I liked... more

| 6. Scarlet Traces: The Great Game | 
|
By: Ian Edginton, D'Israeli
Publisher: Dark Horse
June 13, 2007
I thoroughly enjoyed Scarlet Traces but found this sequel to be half-hearted. The cover of the blue edition states: "The War of the Worlds battlefront moves to Mars..." Well, okay, after half the book is spent setting up a reason for someone to go to Mars and retelling Scarlet Traces, the main character indeed does goes to Mars. There's some generic fighting with familiar aliens and a hint of... more

| 7. Hellgate: London (Hellgate London) | 
|
By: Ian Edginton, Steve Pugh
Publisher: Dark Horse
July 04, 2007
Amazing that a tale of a futuristic London invaded by demons from another realm could be dull, but this book is. As short as it was, I found myself putting it down now and then to delve into some other more interesting book. It feels thrown together and rushed. Virtually no character development; cliches abound, cheesy lines like "As the prophet said...UP YOURS!"
Virtually no build up to... more
