COMMUNITY REVIEWS

The Twilight Zone: The Monsters Are Due On Maple Street graphic novel submitted by Fevvers - STAR473 on July 15, 2016, 11:27pm A decent read, but not the best of this series. Perhaps the source script needed some tweaking to make this Twilight Zone story work better in graphic novel/comic form. It would definitely have benefitted from better art to add more personality to the characters and make each one more identifiable and visually distinctive. Some subtle daring would have helped.

That said, the story of a suburban neighborhood rapidly deteriorating into a witch hunt (or perhaps alien-hunt) amidst confusion, fear, and suspicion has a tense, eerie mood. There are some good panels depicting the effects of the limited light sources that the inhabitants soon turn to.
