END OF STORY ARC
"ORBITAL MECHANICS," Finale
Tim-22's nefarious plans are revealed, and the results are deadly for Quon and Tesla. Meanwhile, the UGC confronts the Robot Resistance, putting the galaxy on the brink of war with Tim-21 and Andy at the center of the conflict. As this story arc comes to its explosive conclusion, the stage is set for the coming DESCENDER "event": RISE OF THE ROBOTS!
Descender continues to be a book that I thrill to with each new installment and am excited for the day that it ends so I can just burn through it all in one massive reading to see the themes come together in clearer ways. Jeff Lemire has largely impressed me over the year with an array of titles, though his original creations are what really click the best as opposed to playing in other people's sandboxes. Descender has been firing on all cylinders from me from the start and his work with Dustin Nguyen is one of those fantastic partnerships that just results in wholly unexpected and wonderful ways. This is another great looking book that I could just spend hours poring over the details of the designs and expressions of the characters and the worlds that they're creating. Read Full Review
Exciting conclusion to this arc as things are really looking bad for all our protagonists. This series is really good when Lemire keeps the action going, and Dustin Nguyen makes every of this book beautiful to look at. Good stuff.
