Chris Alexander Comic Reviews

It's honestly one of the best horror comics this writer has read in a very long time. Bring on round 4"

Sidebar narratives like this are the spine of AFTERLIFE WITH ARCHIE, and as I've said before, a cinematic version"or better yet, an animated series"would welcomed by this fan with wide open arms.

Out of the three tales, only "Not Faire" drops the TZ ball, as it fails to engage and spirals down into incoherence. Otherwise, THE TWILIGHT ZONE annual is lots of fun and Rahner's intros and outros are spot-on. It generally follows the three act morality play formula that made the original show so powerful, though it skimps on the melancholy that gave Serling's work such a soul. One might pine for the glorious silvery black-and-white sheen of the series, but seeing as these are contemporary tales, the full-color is appropriate and the art, solid. All in all, a welcome modernization of a beloved program.
