Review
The art in this book helps lift the old stories from Jules Verne and Arthur Conan Doyle, among others and rockets them to new levels. A great addition for all science fiction and graphic novel collections. --Kevin King, Booklist
This is a fun and easy way to revisit science fiction stories you haven't read in ages, or perhaps haven't read at all. These aren't dumbed down or tedious; they're respectful of the author's original vision, but also of the modern reader. The quality is just astounding from start to finish. --Andrea Speed, ComiXtreme
There have been plenty of comic book adaptations of the story [The War of the Worlds], as well as a good number of completely re-imagined versions or even outright sequels. So the question that immediately arises has to be, does the world really need another? Well, if the quality is as high as this, then the answer is yes! --John Gosling, The War of the Worlds Website
