But even to those fueled by faith, not all is as it seems…in the Twilight Zone!

At the farthest reaches of the galaxy, beyond the horizon of humanity and the hopes for salvation, a spaceship of slumbering astronauts journeys in search of intelligent alien life. They’ve left behind their families, their planet, their pasts, and all the trauma and comforts those things contained. But our crew of adventurers will find their pasts are never that far behind them and intelligent alien life has its own plans for their future…in the Twilight Zone! From the surreal mind of Tom Scioli, the cartoonist who brought you Jack Kirby, Fantastic Four: Grand Design (Marvel), the Transformers vs G.I. Joe crossover, and Godzilla Monsterpiece Theatre (IDW).
