The broadcast

Despite the description and the title, this isn't a graphic novel about War of the Worlds. That radio drama broadcast is a Macguffin that lurks in the background, but this is really more about the monsters within the human heart - paranoia, distrust, and hatred. The creators really want to focus on those things, and how stressful situations can reveal those monsters, but pairing it with that legendary broadcast creates a cool context for fans of OTR drama.

Another thing I really liked about this was the art - it's done in a really hasty, scratchy style that would be bothersome elsewhere, but here it fits the story perfectly.
