The cover is a 10 though.

If you have ever been in love, if you ever have been in love and it didn't last, if you ever
been in love and it didn't last and you still think about the person from time to time, if you
ever had your heart broken, if you ever broke someone's heart and it was all your fault, if
your peak came crashing down and you were the one to blame, if your best of all time is
somewhere fucking someone else that isn't you, if you ever wonder how they are doing and all
you have are photos and fading memories- this comic is for you. more

Campy, funny and enjoyable. Campy, funny and enjoyable until you start getting beat over the
head with jokes, especially the annotations at the bottom of each page.
Overall, the story is solid, it's just that after awhile the jokes feel so forced and are overdone.

You wake up in the morning and the first then you do is go take your morning piss. Once you are
finished, you go to the sink and wash your hands and splash a little water in your face to shake
off the cobwebs. The water drips from both your hands and face. There is no towel near you, so
shake your hands in an attempt to dry them. Next, you take those very hands and use them to dry
your face. Once you remove them from your face, you see your reflection in the mirror. You are
Tom King- the best writer in comics today. You got a busy day ahead you. You have dozens of
story arcs to write for the dozens (or at least half a dozen) comics you are penning. But
moreover, you have your business to attend to, you have to sign new exclusive contracts; you
have to prepare yourself to take over the reigns and direction of one of the most important and
iconic characters of the medium. You, Tom King, have a lot on your plate. And with so much on
your plate, you are bound to have a little slip, a little hiccup every now and then. But it's
o.k., you are human. You are Tom King. more

Imagine you are 11 years old again. You liked reading comic books back then, right? You probably
thought of your own comic book stories also, right? Now imagine your 11 year old self had the
opportunity to write and publish your own comic. Divinity 2 is basically what that comic would
be.

This first issue's first half does a good job of setting up the tone of the comic and the
characters in it. Immediately you as a reader know what you are getting into, you are entering
a world of young millennial women who use social media as a catharsis for their daily emotional
highs, a mask for their insecurities and the face they want the world to see them as.
In other words, don't expect anything too deep here, but that's not the point. The point is to
take a voyeuristic view of the world of the much maligned millennial generation and see their
ways of communication and interacting with one another.

One thing to critic this issue on is the way the second half of the story is told. The relationship
the main character finds herself in feels forced and happens way to fast. After reading the last
page, you can tell it was rushed and done this way in order to have the shocking ending on the
final page. more

Though the different story lines in this comic are all starting to unfold more and more and as readers we are getting to see the bigger picture, especially in regards to the Robot Resistance and what they had been doing and how they had been living after their banishment from the UGC, the story is beginning to feel a little static and stale. The build-up of the previous　issues of this LeMirian universe had me eagerly reserving each issue from my local comic book shop in hopes that slow peeling aways of this story would deliver on all the promise and anticipation I had been feeling about it. But with this issue, I realized that most of those feelings were my own projections of what I wanted the story to be.

With sci-fi works, I look for and hope that they touch on the loneliness of space and how it affects the people in it and how its vastness makes everything in comparison, especially humans, seem minuscule and insignificant. Moreover, with Tim-21, I hoped that story would use him as a vehicle to explore raw human emotions such love, fear and helplessness vis a vis him being a robot and the absurdity that an artificial being would possesses these emotions would make them stand out even more. I wanted Descender to be about Tim-21 and his world and the people in it and the things they do to basically be a microscope to who we are as humans with all our beauty and ugliness and how these characteristics would follow us long after we departed from earth.

And you do get some of that in Descender, but not enough for me personally. With this issue, you can see what direction this comic is going to take, the direction of an average action sci-fi that leans more towards the chase genre and shocking plot twists rather deep character examination and honest human drama.

A nice ode to Bats and Gotham. In this single story issue,the reader is taken on a journey
with Batman as he patrols the city at night and it is then and there that you go into his
psyche and see his love, concern and straight out paranoia he has for his city as its
protector.
In this issue there is not much action or any villainous obstacles Bats has face or overcome,
aside from a little visit to Arkyam to check up on a potential breach in their security
system that ends up being for naught, his night is slow and uneventful. Yet still, there
is always the potential for danger to arise and those possibilities mindfuck him and have
him constantly at the jump of a batarang, so to speak.
Though he fights no super villain in his glorious rogue's gallery, this issue feels like a
quintessential Batman story if there is one. Here you get into the mind of the character
stripped of any peril or flashy sparks, and see how he feels and thinks when everything is
quiet, when the storm has yet to arrive. more
