what each media text had in common was the way each had been promoted. The mutant x film, x-men series and twighlight zone was promoted through obvious ways such as tv commercials, posters, spin-offs, sponsers and food branches. The twighlight zone exceeded from just a radio show to a comic book which is similiar to the x-men. The x-men startd off as a comic book and then went on into becoming a popular tv series and then expanded more and became a film wich had 3 continuous sequels to it so far which resembles 'mutant x' which also has a comic book version of itself. They both have the same genre type of film with similar story lines of people with supernatural powers.
