The Twilight Zone is one of those shows that has many imitators but very few could stack up to the original. The Outer Limits had many influences from the show, as it sought to tell its own bizarre stories. Even today, many shows teetered on the line of strange and fantastical. One such show is Room 104. It pushes the limits while remembering to tell a story.

There are also a few episodes of Donald Glover’s Atlanta, specifically the “Teddy Perkins” episode, that felt close to suspense/horror. Then there’s the spiritual predecessor of Black Mirror, which gives fans everywhere a new vision to be terrified of. As what the Twilight Zone sought to do, was not to terrify, but to provoke thought. In the fourth issue of Green Lantern Mosaic, fans find John rescuing some humans who are trapped in a television show.

We meet a young man named Frankie whose parents start to act strange, then his friend then his neighbors, all without warning. As they have been trapped in this Mosaic world on their way home, their parents become tranced by this world, as their desire to go back to Earth becomes lessened by their hosts, and only the children can see what is really going on. As what is beyond their homes, Frankie and his friends find out one night exactly what lies ahead.

Overall, a great issue that gives fans a detour of the familiar to tell a truly interesting story that is part of a bigger tapestry. The story by Gerard Jones is beautiful and enigmatic. The art by the creative team is vivid and lovely. Altogether, an outstanding issue that gives readers more than your typical Green Lantern story.
