Diana Westby has tried to avoid doing what she knows is necessary to stop a terrorist attack because she knows that in so doing, she would have to pay the ultimate price. Where do you turn when there's no one you can trust, and no one who will believe you, and millions of lives are on the line...including yours? In the fiery fourth-act conclusion to the second Twilight Zone arc, Diana makes a decision that will change the future of the world forever.
Rod Serlings dream of THE TWILIGHT ZONE was to use stories to make us think about our lives, our attitudes, and our choices. He did not want to make us agree with him; that would be propaganda.

This is definitely a series to stick with for at least another arc. I haven't seen anything to suggest that Straczynski is doing more issues after his initial twelve and Dynamite hasn't revealed who might be taking over after. They'll have large shoes to fill for sure. Read Full Review
While it's true that the Twilight Zone has always been a veiled morality tale, this latest arc forgot that one essential element: the creepy storytelling. What a bummer. Read Full Review
