A jet liner, en route from London to New York, is fifty-five minutes away from JFK International Airport. There is nothing special about this plane, the pilots, or the passengers; they are all simply attempting to reach their destination. At 35,000 feet, something happens. The plane begins to accelerate at an alarming rate. Most of the passengers fail to notice, but the crew has checked their instruments carefully, and there is no doubt that the plane is going over 3,000 knots. The pilots, fearing the passengers will become panicked, do everything they can to keep the plane level and structurally together. Miraculously, the plane begins to decelerate; everyone is safe. But why can't the crew raise air traffic control from JFK? Why is the land mass that is supposed to be New York covered in water? These are questions that can only be answered in The Twilight Zone. Once again, Mark Kneece has done a great job of adapting a Twilight Zone script into graphic novel format. The lines are clean, and the images are drawn well. The story is easy to follow and can be read quite quickly. This would make a great addition to a graphic novel collection. Reviewed by: LadyJay
