(W) Juni Ba (A) Juni Ba

Imagine, if you will, a man caught between light and shadow for so long he cannot even remember his life before. You see, our protagonist in this issue has been in the Twilight Zone much longer than anyone else. A sand diver trapped in a life of repetition, he knows only swimming from the river’s top to its bottom for the purpose of building up his village. But is he ready for the day he can rest? Can our protagonist truly leave the Twilight Zone?

The multiple Eisner Award–nominated Juni Ba (The Boy Wonder, Monkey Meat) enters the Twilight Zone to tell a tale no one else could!

(W) Tony Fleecs (A) Andy Price

The Twilight Zone anthology continues with a new standalone issue! Comic book greats bring us fresh stories in chilling black and white, just like the original television show.

This issue: A lonely taxidermist struggles to find solace in his grotesque work. Despite his solitary days, he’s lived a full life. His mother loves him, he runs a successful business, and he’s the local hero who saved his remote village from a recent wildfire. However, his heart still wishes for a companion who won’t be disgusted with his taxidermy obsession. No sooner does he wish it… than the Twilight Zone delivers the girl of his dreams.

Tony Fleecs (Stray Dogs, Feral, Uncanny Valley) and Andy Price (My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic) guide us to this rustic outpost of the dimension beyond. Don’t stray from the path, dear readers. Anything could lurk in the shadows of the Twilight Zone.

Piper can’t take care of herself. She barely eats, and her apartment is a mess. In a last desperate attempt to quick-fix her life, she decides to order a food delivery service. But her first delivery includes an unexpected arrival: an unsettlingly baby-shaped vegetable. Its pudgy plant hands and feet may be too cute to eat, but Piper is about to learn that caring for another is far more complicated than caring for yourself. Especially if you love the other more than yourself…

Mini Reviews: Absolute Batman: Ark M Special #1, Street Sharks #4, and The Twilight Zone #3

Posted on by
Street Sharks #4

Sometimes, the staff at Graphic Policy read more comics than we’re able to get reviewed. When that happens you’ll see a weekly feature compiling reviews of the comics, or graphic novels, we just didn’t get a chance to write a full one for.

These are Graphic Policy’s Mini Reviews and Recommendations.

Logan

Absolute Batman Ark M Special #1 (DC) – Kind of a historical companion piece to Absolute Batman #15, Absolute Batman Ark M Special chronicles the transformation of Arkham Asylum into the grisly corporate, Absolute Joker-run nightmare that is Ark M. Scott Snyder and Frank Tieri riff off Amadeus Arkham journal entries that have popped up everywhere from comics to video games and create a generally uneasy feeling. I like that they make him a good man for his time, who is overwhelmed by the forces evil that have only intensified in the present day as evidenced in this issue’s epilogue. Ark M Special adds depth and context to Absolute Batman as a whole, and artists Joshua Hixson and Roman Stevens nail the period specific details while creating a throughline between the inmates of the 19th century and the foes Batman faces in the present day. Overall: 7.7 Verdict: Buy

Street Sharks #4 (IDW Publishing) – A new burger restaurant opens up in the Street Sharks’ city, and it reminded me of when In N Out opened their first restaurant east of the Mississippi last month. However, Stephanie Williams and Ariel Medel take the fast food addiction, culinary and marine puns, and of course, the wrassling and butt kicking action to the limit in Street Sharks #4. This book is chaotic, but it’s also breezy and nostalgic, perfect for a lunch break read. Like a Saturday morning cartoon, the Street Sharks always defeat the immediate threat, but Williams wisely keeps the stakes high by having public opinion be another antagonist in the book. Dr. Paradigm also gets a little more panel time, and boy, is this guy blatant evil as he gaslights the whole city. Overall: 8.8 Verdict: Buy

The Twilight Zone #3 (IDW Publishing) – James Stokoe‘s art is exquisite as ever, especially in the violent fight scenes that pepper The Twilight Zone #3. But this comic’s story is just okay. It’s a commentary on how the greatness of human culture doesn’t last, but our junk and fast food will. However, it doesn’t go deeper beyond barbarian warriors chatting slogans as they die in battle. But, hey, it’s an excuse for Stokoe to draw cool stuff like dinosaurs knights with machine guns a la the cheat codes in Age of Empires: Age of Kings. Overall: 7.5 Verdict: Read

James Stokoe delivers a fun but familiar twist in The Twilight Zone #3

Posted on by
The Twilight Zone #3

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.
