Summary

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

0:00.0	The
0:07.0	The Tonight we continue our journey into the Twilight Zone in print in the current run of IDW Comics. And as ever, to talk about this
0:41.4	issue with me tonight is my good friend and podcaster, Zach Moore. Zach, welcome back.
0:48.2	Hello there, Tom. Thanks for having me back on the podcast. Okay, so issue five, the one we thought was the last one, but it's not.
0:57.8	It's going to keep on going.
1:00.0	And I think that's a good thing because whether we like, dislike or are indifferent to
1:05.8	these issues, I'm glad that this is, I'm glad that this series is getting made, you know, we talked about various things, the black and white comics, giving it a certain flavor, each one being a different creative team.
1:21.6	And I'm really enjoying this journey, you know, and like I say, we don't like everyone, but I kind of like trying to
1:29.4	figure it out, you know what I mean? Yeah, and we enjoy reading these, we enjoy talking about them
1:36.5	on the podcast, sharing our thoughts about them, but there are lower stakes than say if there was a new
1:43.0	version of the Twilight Zone and there's episodes. Oh, yeah. Right? So these are low stakes than say if there was a new version of the twilight zone and there's episodes
1:45.0	oh yeah right so these are low stakes you know so if we love one or don't love one like it's like

2:01.9	episodes. Here we go. Let's all talk about it, right? So it's a little more, just a little more
2:06.9	relaxed, relaxed to talk about these, right? You know, you hit the nail on the head. I'm not going
2:12.6	to go back into Twilight Zone 2019. And what a stressful period of my life that was.
2:19.8	But, you know, you and I like that show,
2:22.4	but it was certainly a very tumultuous time,
2:27.8	whereas this is a lot more relaxed.
