The Adventure Zone: Eleventh Hour is an incredible addition to the TAZ: Balance Graphic Novel series. Our resident Tres Horny Boys are after yet another relic, this time in a town called Refuge. The town is cut off from the rest of the world, and trapped under a bubble. The boys quickly find out that not only is the town separated from the outside world, it has been reliving the same, eleventh hour, over and over again. They are met with challenges, both physical and mental, as well as having to face their biggest, and hardest, decision yet. Would you go back and rewrite  your worst day?

As an avid listener, and longtime fan of the podcast, I have been looking forward to this novel for quite some time. It is so exciting to get to relive my favorite scenes again, as if for the first time, as well as having the knowledge that for some people, this is their first time. The balance between the foreshadowing and hints for what is to come alongside the revelations of the characters pasts and how they deal with the consequences of their actions already taken are breathtaking. I am already on my toes waiting for the 6th novel, and until then will fill my time relistening to the original campaign.
