The new Scarlet Traces prequel Empire Of Blood examines the aftermath of The War Of The Worlds
WORDS: STEPHEN JEWELL
HAVING PRODUCED SIX SERIES of Scarlet Traces, their steampunk sequel to HG Wells’s The War Of The Worlds, Ian Edginton and Matt “D’Israeli” Brooker are now journeying back into the past with new prequel Empire Of Blood. Debuting in both this year’s Free Comic Book Day issue of “Best Of 2000 AD” and 14 May’s Prog #2432, it bridges the gap between 2002’s first Scarlet Traces and the pair’s 2006 adaptation of HG Wells’s original 1898 novel.
