This is good! I just read it after Saga though so I kept getting a little confused. I need to do one series at a time. I didn't like how a lot of the robot font was really small or written differently, it made it hard to read sometimes. Read for Comics: Advising Readers for grad school.
Interesting! Great art. Will definitely pick up the next in the series.
It was a quick read, and unfortunately this is not my cup of tea.

What the hell is with people in semi-apocalyptic scenarios putting prisoners into a gladitorial arena? This has to be the favorite activity of warlord jerks who take prisoners in any kind of situation where the world has partially ended of there's a dystopic thing happening. Descender, Escape from New York, Escape From LA, Planet Hulk, Exiles, Hunger Games, Battle Royale, Star Trek. It's like, "What do we do next?" "I don't know, throw 'em in a loincloth and give 'em a sword."
Anyway (a word I use A LOT in book reviews), Descender is pretty cool, even if this first volume has a lot of elements that will feel familiar to sci-fi fans, and it does feel like it's going somewhere, not as meander-y and decompressed as some similar books (Trees, perhaps Saga).
I'm pretty interested in Jeff Lemire's take on whatever, so I'm biased that way. If you told me he was writing an 80's comedy about a group of kids who have to save their beachfront from an evil land developer by competing in a topless volleyball tournament, I'd read it. Actually, that would be super exciting, so that's a terrible example. But you get the drift.

The art is A+++++
The story - if you like sci-fi, I think you'd like the story. I do enjoy sci-fi, can say that I dabble and I thoroughly enjoyed the graphic novel.
Once again Image comics kills it with interesting stories and concepts. And art.

Lugesin meeldetuletuseks yle ja jälle olin akvarellimisest rabatud.

Kyllap ei peaks, aga tundus täiesti revolutsioonilisena, et koomikseid võib ka akvarellidega joonistada - kui mu elust peaks koomiks olema, siis ma tahaks, Dustin Nguyen seda joonistaks, sest isegi "istun diivanil, loen raamatut" või "kõnnin tänaval, lähen tööle" oleks sellisena ilus ja huvitav vaadata. Lool pole ka viga, tahaks teada, mis edasi saab.

3.5 stars
that was funsies but i didn't like that there's a tim-22 that's usually the last resource drama tv shows pull at the end of season 8 when someone's cousin wants to see what happens to the mc's vasectomy and they were running out of ideas
