"THE DIGITAL MAGE," Part Two
Last issue saw the return of the beloved Driller, and now another fan-favorite DESCENDER character is set to return...but have they been forever changed? Find out!
Ascender #12 is yet another great issue of a great comic. Lemire and company know exactly what they're doing, and while they are definitely trading on Descender nostalgia, it works perfectly. The cliffhanger at the end is the icing on the cake. Ascender #12 keeps building the story and giving readers exactly what they want. Read Full Review

This issue plays a little bit in the realm of a fairy tale but it's appropriate enough considering this series is more focused on magic, to a degree. I really like what we get with Mother and the discovery there as it looks like it could lead to some neat things being explored and a grander scale still. But the main focus on Andy and Effie in this installment is what works the best. It does feel like a bit of a cheat for Effie to be alive but it's one that doesn't surprise me in a really big way. The introduction of Kantos as a kind of crazy woodland samurai fighting off vamps has potential as well so it's certainly easy to keep plugging away at all of this and hoping for more payoff.
