Twilight Zone: Shadow & Substance is a compilation of eleven stories from The Twilight Zone, including the eponymous "Shadow & Substance," as well as "Lost Tales," "1959" and the 2014 Annual. It was a pretty entertaining read and the stories vary wildly in quality, with some feeling like they aren't very Twilight Zone at all (Laughing Matter, for example), but some of my favorites included Stumbling Distance, Takers, It's All in How You Frame It, and The Comics Code. It's worth a read if you're a fan of The Twilight Zone.

Note: I received a free copy of this book from NetGalley. I was not compensated in any other fashion for the review and the opinions reflected below are entirely my own. Special thanks to the publisher and author for providing the copy.

Another trip into the Twilight Zone and yet another success - the volume oozes otherworldly atmosphere and brings back the fond memories of the much-loved TV show!

'Twilight Zone: Shadow & Substance' by Mark Rahner, Tom Peyer and John Layman is a collection of 7 different comics, including the Shadow & Substance miniseries and some one shot issues. I liked it, but felt that something was lacking.

A famous author returns to his home town for a book signing and steps back in time, and meets his younger self. A man living among group of people live in a strange type of prison where the rooms have no houses have no roofs and food comes in from the sky in feeder tubes decides to fight back. A filibustering senator opposed to aid for the poor finds himself among them. These and more are the stories that take the reader to The Twilight Zone.

I'm a fan of The Twilight Zone. I remember the television show, and read some of the novelizations by Rod Serling. These stories felt like the mediocre stories from that series, not the better ones ('To Serve Man' anyone?). The art quality varies thoughout, and while the covers are pretty nice, the interior art is just mediocre. I was excited to read this, and while I liked it, I just didn't love it.

I received a review copy of this graphic novel from Dynamite Entertainment, Diamond Book Distributors, and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.

I haven't seen Twilight Zone, so that might be one of the reasons why I believed this comic to be so confusing, and frankly not very good.

I didn't like the story, and most of it was so weird, that about halfway through, I just lost interest. It was really not for me, but perhaps there are others who will get what I assume are references or inside jokes and will appreciate it a lot more than I did.

It just wasn't for me.

I enjoyed this book a lot. It was beautifully written an wonderfully drawn. The story was fantastic and deep and keep me entertained. I would love to read more by this author.
