I have no idea what's going on, but I have to keep reading! There's a link between kidnappings almost one hundred years apart and two people look to investigate the current crime. The characters are intriguing, having a very Mulder and Scully vibe. The art is grounded in reality which only increases during the action sequence. I'm so on board for more! Read Full Review

Descendent #1 is an interesting start to a mystery filled comic book, first I've ever come to read. I expected an insight on both sides of the mystery right away but realized I didn't know what I wanted as the talented creative team showed me, playing their cards close to their chest. The readers will get to see the case develop along with the characters which makes for a thrilling read of an investigative story. Read Full Review
I'm definitely curious as to where it'll go as we've got some good characters to work with right out of the gate. I'm also really keen just from the visual design aspect of the symbol and what the covers are teasing for who we're dealing with. It's just the opening salvo so there's plenty of room to grow here with it with what Phillips and Bornyakov are bringing to the table. Read Full Review
Aftershock publishes a wide range of stories and Descendent feels like it was an easy green light considering that conspiracy theory stories are quite popular right now. But what's most impressive is how tight the script and storytelling is. It's not often that you see a creative team this locked in from the outset and that speaks to Phillips and Bornyakov's ability to put this thing together. Read Full Review
Focusing on characters, Phillips has been able to relay a surprisingly high amount of information in a single issue. She treats the readers with respect and does not spoon feed them information. Descendent is a clever introduction to a series and will appeal to fans of the X-Files and Paul Cornell's Saucer State series. Read Full Review
Theres a lack of realism in some of the events as played out but we can shrug these of accepting that its for the benefit of the story, so I dont see it necessarily as a flaw. My biggest gripe is that the character of David, our scruffy conspiracy loon, is just too darned likeable. That said, Descendent looks set to be another good run from AfterShock. Read Full Review
