Ascender #3 delivers on so many levels. Lemire and Nguyen are a fantastic team. The script and the art gel imperviously, drawing readers in and making them feel whats happening on the page. Lemire invests the whole thing with so much feeling, and Nguyen gets that feeling across on the page. Beyond that, theres a feeling of suspense throughout the entire thing as readers wait to see if Mothers forces will be able to get Mila and Andy in the present and a feeling of foreboding in the flashbacks. So far, Ascender has been a great ride, and this issue is a perfect representation of that. Read Full Review
