Earlier this year, I discussed how a new comic was on the way, themed for, "The Twilight Zone." Presented as an anthology (different creative teams and stories every issue) with artwork intentionally in black-and-white just as with the original run of the television series, it sounded promising! The first issue was titled, "Blanks," and written by Dan Watters with art by Morgan Beem. It had a creepy premise of a man undergoing a procedure to stay young, but it having a horrific impact on anyone exposed to him.
The second issue is even more of a trip with writing, art, and lettering by the amazing Tom Scioli. Called, "A World of Your Wildest Dreams," it follows astronauts who land on a planet only to discover their thoughts and memories manifest in surreal and (possibly dangerous) ways. It has a couple of clever twists befitting of a solid, "The Twilight Zone," story, and Scioli's art skills remain impeccable at telling a good story. If this new series can keep giving us great stories, I hope it runs for quite a while!
5 out of 5 Stars (for both of these initial issues).
