review:
'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.
