    You Don't Read Comics - Russ Bickerstaff

    Nov 19, 2025

    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

    Nerd Initiative - Richard Coryell

    Nov 19, 2025

    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

    Graphic Policy - Brett

    Nov 19, 2025

    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

    The Super Powered Fancast - Deron Generally

    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
