War of the Worlds Volume 2, The Nest

Jule Verne and H.G. Wells are just young kids when they first meet in Paris. They become fast friends, sharing
their tales of adventure as they mature into young men, and their excitement about the vastness of the universe.

Then one day they notice strange things begin happening. Soldiers march off and never return. There's some kind of
underwater battle going on in the Channel. Parents march off to war and never send another word back.

Then one day Wells is attacked by an Invader, a vehicle of some kind that uses a Heat Ray to destroy everything and everyone.

Soon the two young men are separated by the horrors of a war that is so incredibly impossible that the mind boggles at the
dimensions and cruelty of it.

Jules returns in contact with Wells after saving his life with an invention called the Master of the World, which has its own
Tesla driven String Drive and energy cannons capable of destroying an Invader vessel.

The two join together to start a team of individuals dedicated to fighting back against the Invaders and taking the war back to them.
