"[4] In July 2006, Pendragon Pictures gave legal notice to Dark Horse Comics, claiming that the comic directly replicated hundreds of images from its 2005 film H. G. Wells' The War of the Worlds.

Pendragon Pictures regrets and apologizes to Dark Horse for any misconception its press release or later internet poll may have caused.
