At the end of this volume, there is a small Atlas that describes the 9 core planets which provides a great sense of what we may be able to see in future volumes! We only get to see a few of these planets within this first volume, but the ones that we do get to see were very well developed. Jeff Lemire has built a wonderfully intricate world consisting of 9 core planets within the United Galactic Council. There are already a few stories with similar plot lines to that of Descender, but while parts of it felt familiar, Descender did a good job in making its version of this story unique. After reading up on what Descender was all about, I knew it was something I needed to read. Collecting issues #1-6 of Jeff Lemire (Sweet Tooth, Trillium) and Dustin Nguyen’s (Little Gotham) critically acclaimed, bestselling new science fiction series! Lemire pits humanity against machine, and world against world, to create a sprawling epic. Written by award-winning creator, Jeff Lemire, Descender is a rip-roaring and heart-felt cosmic odyssey. Goodreads synopsis: Young Robot boy TIM-21 and his companions struggle to stay alive in a universe where all androids have been outlawed and bounty hunters lurk on every planet. Vaughan, I knew I had to scoop this one up while I had the chance. I had never heard of either the author or the illustrator before, but the fact that it was released by Image Comics and the fact that it was blurbed by Brian K.

In the simplest of terms, it is beautiful. The first thing that caught my attention about Descender was its lovely cover art. The second I see anything by Image Comics in the “Read Now” section, I automatically request and download it right away.

The “Read Now” section on NetGalley is probably one of my favourite things in this world, especially when there is a bunch of new comics and graphic novels all uploaded at once. * I received this copy of Descender through the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review * Genre: Graphic Novel, Sequential Art, Sci-FiĪuthor | Illustrator | Book Depository | Amazon | Chapters/Indigo | Goodreads Author: Jeff Lemire Illustrator: Dustin Nguyen
