Mr. Palmiotti here at his best! Great character development and fierce pacing throughout. A must read that I recommend in the highest order.
I have all the issues of 21 Down already in comic form but I had to get this as a graphic novel. Its an amazingly compelling story that will draw you in with beautiful art and excellent storytelling. What more could you want? Ill be buying a few more for friends this holiday season!
21 DOWN: THE CONDUIT is akin to watching two cars instants before they collide head-on-you just know theyre going to hit, but theres something in you that prohibits you from turning away. Palmiotti, Gray and Saiz manage to capture that same feeling with Preston Kills, a guy who not only sees peoples final moments before they die, but has more reason to dread his birthday than anyone else on Earth. As Preston is drawn ever closer towards his own inevitable fate, youre simply forced to follow him along and see how it will all unfold. Hands-down, 21 DOWN: THE CONDUIT is one of the very best pieces of fiction this year. And it makes a GREAT birthday present!
