The adventure continues, with arguably the best arc of the campaign! Seriously, The Eleventh Hour is tied with Petals to the Metal for my favorite Balance arc, so I've been looking forward to this one. Finding out more about what drives our heroes was one of the best parts of the story, and their rebuking of this relic's temptation was a powerful moment. I was skeptical about how this arc and the surrounding Lunar Interlude was going to be adapted into graphic novel format (how does one portray a whole bunch of trial-and-error run-throughs of a time loop?), but my skepticism was rebuffed pretty early into this book, as Clint McElroy and Carey Pietsch have done an excellent job of telling this story. Special mention for Pietsch's behind-the-scenes art section, seeing that process was very neat. The rest of the campaign, in terms of both content and the challenge of adaptation, is going to be very interesting to see.
