The first arc may be over but clearly the story is just beginning in DESCENDER. If you're looking for a cool sci-fi comic with a different look and feel to it, you need to be reading this book. Jeff Lemire is building a big "universe" and Dustin Nguyen's art and colors keeps getting better and better. Just when you thought you had an idea where the story would be going, we get a pretty interesting twist at the end. I love it when I'm reading a book and have no idea what might be coming next. Each issue keeps you on the edge of your seat and I'll definitely be back for the next one. Read Full Review

Descender moves into its new arc but it mostly still plays with what we had, so it doesn't jump away until another day – which I was fearful of when I saw the "new story arc" splashed across the description. The storylines at play here are fantastic, fun, and interesting, all of which is wrapped up once again in some jaw-dropping artwork from Dustin Nguyen. Lemire definitely delivers a great series of ideas and characters that Nguyen is able to bring to life in such a breathtaking way. It's so rich in color design and overall detail that it's easy to get lost in the minutiae of each issue. And worth doing so, in fact! Read Full Review

I can't help but remember the themes and motifs of Mary Shelley'sFrankensteinwhile reviewing DESCENDER's run so far. Do I think that DESCENDER is the next literary classic? Perhaps not. Can I see how elements of it feel a bit been there, done that? Sure. But my main point is that my continued devotion to this series has to do with the fact of itssincerity.Jeff Lemire's emotion and Dustin Nguyen's expressive yet detailed art work serves as an interesting juxtaposition to what I normally associate with space and technology. All the loneliness and cold elements still exist, but are tempered with Tim-21's character " as well as the characterizations of the other characters " coupled with Dustin Nguyen's masterful artistry.
