Somewhere, there is a war being fought. Two civilizations, each believing itself the summit of power, battle over a holy relic whose function and origin lie beyond their understanding. An army of dedicated knights who defend the item, a horde of zealous barbarians who covet it—neither side willing to cede an inch of ground to the other. But even to those fueled by faith, not all is as it seems…in the Twilight Zone! The Twilight Zone #3 is well done and a fun read to distract for a bit but overall feels a bit too familiar to really stand out.

Written by and with art by James Stokoe, The Twilight Zone #3 is a fun comic to take your minds off of things. It’s hard to completely review the issue without spoilers but the cover gives a hint as to what you can expect in the comic. Two factions battle it out with the world not being what you expected at first glance.

Stokoe delivers a fun, entertaining comic where the art stands out and delivers the excellence one would expect with his name on it. There’s an attention to detail and distinctive style of a James Stokoe comic and The Twilight Zone #3 delivers exactly that with beautiful artwork.

The story itself is good. It starts off as a standard fantasy-ish battle but when the “Twilight Zone twist” is revealed, it turns into a story that’s been done many times before. The time period isn’t what it seems and odd idols are being worshiped. It’s not bad, it just doesn’t feel as new, fresh, or as interesting as Stokoe’s art.

The Twilight Zone #3 is fun escapism that features fantastic art. It’s a nice entry in the series that allows Stokoe to show off a bit and gives us a new fantasy setting we want to see more of.
