21 Down Volume 12 by Jimmy Palmiotti and Justin Gray


Title: 21 Down Volume 12
Author: Jimmy Palmiotti and Justin Gray
Publisher: Warner Bros
Rating: WORTHY!

Well this was a real disappointment to me but only because I thought this series finished with this volume and discovered that it doesn't! Instead, it really stirs things up. First, Mickey and Preston are stalked by two new psychos who want to kill both them and Jack Lahana, so they can go home.

As if that isn't enough violence, Mickey's daughter Alex, now with powers of her own, is staging a mass breakout from the imprisoning facility in which she's been kept for some considerable time.

And what's with Mickey's death? And can Jack Lahana really turn time back? So why didn't he save his girlfriend?

Finally, Mickey and Preston and Jack all sit down for a good long talk - and a few questions are answered.

Series so far: Good. Entertaining. Great art work. Cool story, and some awesome action. A bit of confusion here and there (more there than here, actually), some dull spots, but overall, still worthy of reading.
