  • The Twilight Zone - Issue #5 - Silent Warning
    Apr 25 2026
    Tom and Zach head back to the comic book store to check out the final issue of IDW's Twilight Zone comic....or is it?

    A brilliant scientist uncovers a celestial enigma—a meteor submerged in the ocean's depths, pulsing with a cryptic audio signal that could determine the fate of the world. As she fights to decode this extraterrestrial transmission, she finds herself trapped between the cold urgency of hard data and the crushing weight of human apathy. It is a haunting descent into the "silent warning" of the deep, where the most dangerous threat isn't the mystery from the stars, but a society that refuses to listen until the static finally takes hold

  • The Twilight Zone - Issue #4 - False Bottom
    Apr 16 2026
    Tom is joined by Zach Moore from Always Hold On to Smalville to check out issues #4 of The Twilight Zone comic book from IDW, False Bottom...

    The stage is set: a sun‑drenched lake in the height of summer, a houseboat waiting for a celebratory weekend. When Laura invites her abrasive brother, Chet, along for his birthday, their already‑fragile bond is hanging by a thread. With her devoted boyfriend at her side, she makes one last attempt to reach the little brother she once adored—now a young man hardened into bitterness. But when all three are swept into realms shaped by their deepest desires, the question becomes not how they’ll reunite… but whether they’ll even want to.
