At the farthest reaches of the galaxy, beyond the horizon of humanity and the hopes for salvation, a spaceship of slumbering astronauts journeys in search of intelligent alien life. They’ve left behind their families, their planet, their pasts, and all the trauma and comforts those things contained. But our crew of adventurers will find their pasts are never that far behind them and intelligent alien life has its own plans for their future…in the Twilight Zone! From the surreal mind of Tom Scioli, the cartoonist who brought you Jack Kirby, Fantastic Four: Grand Design (Marvel), the Transformers vs G.I. Joe crossover, and Godzilla Monsterp more
To his credit Scioli isn't completely adapting every aspect of an old twilight zone. In the time-honored tradition of previous Twilight Zone comics, Rod Serling doesnt actually physically show-up in the comic book> And the pacing is more attuned to a contemporary comic book than a script to an old TV drama from the 1960s. Those old episodes were long and had the kind of pacing you would expect out of early 1960s television. There might be one major stinger at the end that would call everything that happened into question. Scioli does this a few times over the course of a largely satisfying issue. It's fun to see a contemporary comic book mutation of the style inform of the old TV series. There have been many adaptations of this franchise over the decades. Sciolis approach seems to be one of the more interesting. It will be interesting to see where this series moves from here. It looks like they're going for something pretty drastically different with the next issue. Read Full Review
The Twilight Zone #2 is a good story that captures the feel and vibe of the original show. The story has some good suspense, and even though it bogs down a bit, it still feels familiar to the source material. However, the art is the biggest winner in this issue, as it truly stands out and grabs the readers' attention. Read Full Review
Visually, The Twilight Zone #2 features Scioli's style and the story allows him to throw out whatever he'd like. It's a comic that visually is a splash of varied aliens and worlds, allowing Scioli to just cut loose with whatever works at the time. Read Full Review
Scioli delivers some great retro styled art that I really enjoyed. Even if the story didnt feel like something from the Twilight Zone, it definitely looked like it did. Read Full Review
Ehhh. I wanted more. The vibe was there, but the story just didn't do it for me.
I Felt a bit disapointed with this issue. The first one showed so much potencial.
The spirit is kinda there but i guess this dosent work well as a Comic
