This is a vital issue in the Descender series. It gives enough answers to advance the overall story without removing the mystery. If anything, it adds some new questions. Barring the "wildcard" near the end of the issue, this is about as good as they come. If you aren't reading this series, chase it down, get the trade, don't miss it.

This is a good issue that fleshes out some of the characters will introducing others, but it's light on action involving the main characters. Definitely enough to keep me coming back next month to see how it turns out, but not a jaw-dropper as far as action or plot twists are concerned. A good book though.
