"RISE OF THE ROBOTS," Part Three-The fall's big DESCENDER event continues in the strangest and most shocking issue of DESCENDER yet, as the fate of the fan-favorite robot, DRILLER is finally revealed! Stranded on the planet Woch, Driller meets an old nomad called Mizerd. But he soon realizes that Driller may be a real killer and Mizerd is a real wizard! Magic comes to DESCENDER, and the universe will never be the same!
Descender issues that work with certain characters aren't going to fly for a lot of readers and especially ones that seemingly take us far away from the main storyline that's going on in all its wonder. I get that and have a low level of frustration myself considering the scale of events going on. But with this issue, we get a really fun little story with Driller that showcases his hero's journey nicely and has me curious once again as to what his larger role will be in all of this as it progresses. It's not a game changer but it introduces some fun elements and it simply a delight to look at if nothing else. Read Full Review
