21 Down: The Conduit

In 2003, DC Comics published a single-issue thriller, 21 Down: The Conduit, written by Jimmy Palmiotti and Justin Gray with art by Jesús Saiz. The story centers on a former government assassin whose past as a "conduit" for deadly psychic energy catches up to him, forcing him into a violent confrontation with his former handlers. This dense, self-contained graphic novel showcases the creative team's signature blend of dark, character-driven action and supernatural espionage.
