Reviews"Tales From The Darkside is exactly what you want it to be: Tense, introspective, and creepy as hell. The Twilight Zone off its meds and on an acid trip." Adventures In Poor Taste "Tales From The Darkside is a great work that both harkens back to the original series while pushing the franchise forward. With work like this, it's no surprise this comic is already proving to be the hot kid on the block." -Fangoria
