Brian Cronin of the website Comic Book Resources is counting down the Top 100 Comic Book Battles, as voted upon by readers. Cronin already announced the Top 25 and is now detailing battles #26 through #100.
At #72 is the deadly battle between The League of Extraordinary Gentleman and the Martians, featured in Volume II of The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen (2002-2003), in which creators Alan Moore and Kevin O’Neill retell the classic Wellsian epic about the Martian invasion of Earth. To make a long story short, members of The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen defeat the invading tripods from Mars with a mutated virus, but concoct a cover story that the Martians were wiped out by the human common cold.
