The Midnight Sun

"The Midnight Sun" is a comic book adaptation of the Twilight Zone episode of the same name. In this alternate universe the sun shines continuously and the heat is rising with each passing day. As a result, water is scarce and civilization comes apart as people lose their minds, deprived of sleep and hydration. The story is told with a painter as the main character who observes the destruction from her apartment trying to survive but ready to face the inevitable. It's a sharply realised story with a real sense of horror portrayed throughout. The artwork, while not fantastic, is enough for this story and the writing keeps you reading until the twisted ending. An enjoyable comic book for those looking to pass the time and who have a fond memory of that iconic TV show, "The Twilight Zone". A good read.
