    Nerd Initiative - Richard Coryell Sep 24, 2025

    This first issue of the series really sets the tone of where the creators want the series to go. Dan Watters does an impeccable job of bringing the classic tv series to the page. The story is a perfect match to what the show would depict on the small screen. A story with a moral that is learned through an odd sci-fi twist is what you expect and its what you get. The lack of hubris by Edward Kane is a warning to us all about how humility and due process should always be followed. Read Full Review

    Beem creates some beautifully detailed and visually engaging art throughout the issue. I love the callback to Serling in the first few images and the visual style works perfectly with the world of the Twilight Zone. Read Full Review

    Graphic Policy - Brett Sep 24, 2025

    The flaw of The Twilight Zone #1 is that it feels like a short read. Like it should be part of an anthology or a comic that features at least another story It's not that it's bad, it's that we want more of it. This could work great as a graphic novel or manga-ish digest type release. As single comic issues, it becomes a bit dicey of feeling if you get the value to it. "Blanks goes by quickly, but it's really solid. Wanting more overall isn't a bad thing right? Read Full Review

    Major Spoilers - Matthew Peterson Sep 25, 2025

    It's not quite Jordan Peele, much less Rod Serling, but the story holds together well and the horror/suspense angle is successful, making for a good read. Read Full Review
