Eleventh Hour was one of my favorite arcs in TAZ, so reading it in graphic novel form was, well, amazing! And frankly, it still hit all the emotional beats I remember from listening to it back in the day! HIGHLY recommend going onto Bandcamp and listening to the soundtrack from Griffin when reading certain parts

(The Purple Worm especially!)

because it really adds to the story, and for those of us who listened to TAZ originally, it really brings home the nostalgia 🕚
