In the early 1900s the book was read live over the radio, commercial free and uninterupted, when people tuned into it, before hearing that it was a reading of a book, they thought that it meant an actual invasion had begun, the radio station, loving all the paniced calls they were getting in, even modified the reading live by not only dramatizing it but making it take place in american towns rather than london. This caused enough panic for mass scuicides and people to lock themselves inside buildings until they died from lack of nuetrients air and water, it was simply that frightening for them to think that their world was under attack by mars [img]tongue.gif[/img]
Then nearing the end they realized that the story had gotten too personal for one reported who'd lived through it all and they figured out that it wasn't real, unforutnetly many people didn't bother to keep listening in, expecting martian death walkers to rain down on them at any minute, shooting out killer black smoke, or like in the movies, martian death flying craft that shoot evaporating laser beams, either way, I thought it was a great book, and I've heard the radio broadcast and seen the movie, a great Idea, Z's story doesnt really seem too intertwined, for example: aliens in War of the Worlds couldn't controll humans they just wanted to vaporize them [img]tongue.gif[/img]
Z's comic looks cooler because of the fact that aliens hidden in humans could be anyone (think first wave meets the day the earth stood still) [img]tongue.gif[/img] Really cool stuff, man. Say, that reminds me Z, have you ever read my one of my comics? [img]tongue.gif[/img]
