About the series
In this 12-issue DC series from 2002-2003, writer-artist team Jimmy Palmiotti, Justin Gray, and Jesús Saiz crafted a taut, grounded thriller about a former government agent with the ability to see 21 seconds into the future. The series follows his desperate attempt to use this limited precognition to prevent a catastrophic terrorist plot, blending espionage and super-heroics with a gritty, realistic tone. Its concise run and focused creative vision make it a compelling, if under-the-radar, example of early-2000s DC storytelling.
