Ascender was one of my most anticipated releases, but I was a coward and kept on putting this off because I was sure it could not live up to it's predecessor. While this isn't quite the same thing, it still snuck up on me and I finished reading it with tears on my face. (The impact would not have been the same if I was unfamiliar with Descender.) Can't wait for Volume 2. Hmmm, jury's still out on this one. I'll definitely give the second volume a go, but for me, a decade seems like a small leap of time for a full and virtually complete changeover from a tech-based civilization to one that relies on magic and the growing of ships. I guess what I'm saying is, I would have liked to have seen a bit more evidence of this in the Descender series than the quickly tossed off pages right toward the end to help set this up. Regardless, as I said, I'll absolutely give this at least a little more time to breathe. no reviews | add a review

This story is just as good as Descender, if not better. And of course, Dustin Nguyen's art is just astounding. It's been a long time since the art within a comic really excited me and this series just blows my mind. ( )
