Ascender #17 is a great penultimate issue. Lemire keeps the pace high and fills the thing with action, and the books ending will leave readers hyped for the last issue. Nguyens art is breathtaking as usual. Everything about this comic works admirably. Read Full Review

I don't keep up with all solicitations like I used to so I was surprised to see that the next issue is the last one for the series.

And that least panel tease is a real delight. Read Full Review

Overall, it's a solid penultimate issue. Bring on the end. Read Full Review
