The War of the Worlds: Haven and the Hellweed

A single-issue debut from Arrow in 2002, The War of the Worlds: Haven and the Hellweed reimagines H.G. Wells’s Martian invasion through a stark, survivalist lens. The story follows a small band of human survivors as they navigate a devastated landscape, contending not only with the alien tripods but with a mysterious, invasive plant life known as the Hellweed. Though a brief entry in the franchise, this one-shot stands as a moody, atmospheric addition to the War of the Worlds mythos, emphasizing ecological horror alongside the classic sci-fi terror.
