Ascender, Vol. 2: The Dead Sea by Jeff Lemire
4.0
If you haven’t read Descender best fix that – and read the first Ascender volume before you read reviews here, or pick up this volume.
I thank my book log summaries for helping me, as I read my summary for volume one before picking up this one. It definitely helped with the “dive right in” factor. But, Jeff Lemire provided some incredible flashback scenes in this volume, helping fans fill-in the “ten years after Descender” gap and giving us insight into the creation of Mother, while also moving the storyline along. Plus we get the addition of … werewhales! Holy cow those things are cool! {The vampires had me going “say what?”} And the Blood Scrapper?! I’m curious as hell who is behind the mask. Also, is anyone else just thrilled that Telsa has found a someone?! Dustin Nguyen’s artwork continues to be jaw-dropping; the colors are just breath-taking. I cannot wait to grab Volume 3.
