The Twilight Zone #4

Compared to previous issues, ‘FALSE BOTTOM' is possibly the bleakest and most emotionally resonant story this series has offered yet. Powell's blend of down-to-earth character drama mixed with horror sensibilities and an exaggerated art style makes this a genuinely powerful instalment. Read Full Review

The problem may lie in the fact that there isn't much going on philosophically beyond the surface level of the horror. The best stories in the.Twilight Zone franchise end up being ones that have some sort of a existential or philosophical and to them. There really isn't much going on here with that. It's really just an emotional connection between brother and sister, and the fact that they're twins. There's an emotional anchor to the drama, but there isn't enough to really make it feel all that compelling once the final panel is reached. Read Full Review

I really wanted to like this story. Conceptually, it reminds me of some classic Twilight Zone stories that I enjoyed, but the execution was lacking. Laura and Chet are more like caricatures than people and I didn’t particularly care about them one way or another. Gabe is a blank slate who only barely moves the plot along. The stakes are so achingly low that nothing that happens to these characters once they enter the water seems to mean anything once they surface and there’s no external or implied threat that should drive them to escape. The story meanders with no real direction or purpose. Read Full Review

Another twilight zone, another comic that starts decent and has an ending I could care less about.
