What do the Salem witch trials and a missing Senator's son have in common? The third installment of DESCENDENT from Stephanie Phillips (Devil Within, Kicking Ice) and Evgeniy Bornyakov (Meteora, Ziggy) investigates the missing link between a mysterious cult and disappearing children. But, as David gets closer to finding out the truth, the cult gets closer to David. Oh, and someone dies. #sorrynotsorry
I continue to enjoy Descendent but am in that spot where I'm waiting for it to click into something more, an aha moment that reveals a richer storyline underneath. I do like that it goes back to the Salem Witch Trials here and plays in that area for a bit, setting the stage for a pretty American kind of cult thing that has some history to it. Phillips has fun with the characters here even if some of them act pretty badly while the artwork from Bornyakov fits perfectly and has a good look about it. I'm loving the covers and am curious to see what's next for those involved here in this story. Read Full Review
Descendent is a complex story with engaging characters. This issue draws you in and hooks you from the very first page. Read Full Review
Nice lettering and the start to a couple of cool ideas still don't make "Descendent" #3's plot or characters particularly engaging. If you aren't already sold, this issue likely won't do much to change your mind. Read Full Review
