One Minute to Twelve

(panel 1, page 1, chapter 12)

The other clocks Gibbons has drawn through the book have been set at one particular time, which has represented that the world was on high alert for something horrific to occur. Now, the clock is about to strike, twelve, which foreshadows this chapter. If the world is going to be saved, it has to happen before the clock strikes its target, which means that this chapter will either spell to destruction or the rebirth of human kind.

  1. Nice -- the use of foreshadowing here is solid -- and I like how you identify the two options in store for the reader
