3.0 out of 5 stars For "24" Fans Only, August 12, 2004

If you're a "24" fan, you'll want to have this, if only for the sake of having it. If you're not a fan of the show, it probably won't mean as much to you because you won't know who the characters are. I'm not a fan of the photorealistic art and at times it can be a little funky and distracting. But the story is actually not bad and the writers do have a good grasp of the characters from the show's first season. It's good to see Walsh, Jamie and the old gang back in action. The story also does a good job of capturing the history of Jack, giving us small glimpses into his past without revealing too much. However, the book tries too hard to capture the time element of the show, that they could have just skipped. There's a bit of a cliffhanger ending (which will not surprise "24" fans) which leads me to believe this one shot will not be the only shot.

I picked this comic up at the Baltimore comic-con this past fall. I am a huge fan of the show and the characters. The comic was good, but as I am sure others have said, rushed. The art was unique and the writing was good, but having a whole day in one comic is too much. It would take a long time, but the best way to do a 24 comic is to have one storyline take 24 issues, one hour an issue. Still a good read, I reccomend it to any fan of the show.
