Summary
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.

| 0:07.0 | The In a world where there is no new Twilight Zone on television, we look to other media to fill our needs in the fifth dimension. |
| 0:41.0 | And tonight we go back to the printed page with the IDW comic, The Twilight Zone. |
| 0:49.1 | And it's good to welcome back my old friend and podcaster, comic book reader, an all-around great guy, my friend, |
| 0:58.0 | Zach Moore, Zach, welcome back. |
| 0:59.6 | Thanks for that introduction, Tom. |
| 1:01.1 | Happy to be back talking Twilight Zone comic books with you. |
| 1:04.9 | Zach, it seems we might have bitten off a little more than we can chew because I was |
| 1:10.1 | under the impression that this was a five-issue run. |
| 1:12.7 | I don't know whether I imagined that or I dreamt it. |
| 1:16.0 | I had the number five in my head for some reason, |
| 1:20.4 | but actually I think this thing keeps running and running. |
| 1:25.6 | I know there's at least five issues out now and a six issues |
| 1:31.1 | advertised. I think there's adverts out there maybe even up to number eight. So I think we might |
| 1:37.9 | have a bit of a job on our hands. It's like when you start a podcast about a show that runs five |
| 1:42.4 | years and you turn around |
| 1:44.6 | and it's 15 years later and you're still doing this show. |
| 1:48.1 | No, to your point, I believe the last page of the first issue listed off five issues |
| 1:55.0 | to kind of, you know, advertise and get you hyped up for what to expect. |
| 1:59.6 | And we all interpreted that as, oh, these are the |
| 2:02.9 | five issues of the Twilight Zone comic book. Maybe that was the intention. Maybe it's doing really well |
| 2:08.7 | on sales. I'm not sure. But it's going beyond five. And you're the captain of the ship here, sir. |
