Day 3: “24: Nightfall”

This was originally a five-issue comic miniseries that was later collected into a trade paperback graphic novel. It's about a mission by CTU to capture an assassin that has long been eluding them. The mission is a success, but all members of the mission team except for Jack die, and he is presumed dead by everyone in his home country. As far as I know, he's going to spend a lot of time there. The book ends with a preordained cliffhanger that will likely be resolved in the second chronological book in the “24 Declassified” series that I will buy in ebook form when I get the credit.
This particular piece of “24” media is more nail-biting dread than the excitement of the first two, but if you like that sort of thing, especially with the return of endless backstabbing from “good” guys, this is your comic.
