"THE END OF THE UNIVERSE," Part Three-Tim-21 meets his makers...literally. The Descenders are here, and only Tim can save the universe from their apocalyptic judgement. But from out of the far reaches of the universe, the Gnishian king may be the wildcard that no one saw coming. The penultimate issue of DESCENDER is filled with shocks, twists, and goodbyes...and hints at things still to come.
Lemire has consistently built suspense into his story, but this may be his finest issue yet. With the cards on the table and the players all in place, Tim-21 must beat the odds to save the world. And I think he might just pull it off. Read Full Review
Descender has been building to some of these moments for a long time and I'm not sure they quite resonate as strongly as they should, though it could just be me. Jeff Lemire has a lot of things in the air here and I'm really curious to see what's up with Driller and Mizerd with his talk of ancient mystical forces that are now being drawn into it.

Descender as a series has come along way from its inception. Lemire's story has shifted into something totally unexpected and Nguyen's art has grown in ways I thought were impossible. Descender #31 is far from perfect but it does enough to excite prior to the series finale and it conveys just how much growth took place in this book. Read Full Review
Poor Tim-21! Caught in the middle of so many factions, and facing certain doom, the fate of the galaxy will come down to him. Or will the Descenders bring down their wrath regardless? A+ for Dustin Nguyen's artwork as always. If you've never read this series, it's almost done, so go find the collections and read it now!
What a great issue the end is nigh
I've been with "Descender" since #1, and now it has reached its penultimate issue. The stakes are really high...apocalyptic, really. Things are coming to a head and humanity is on the brink of being eliminated. The art, as it has been from the series' inception, is fantastic. I've enjoyed these characters, and am excited to see how things wrap up next issue.
