Note: Descender #1 releases on March 4, 2015. This is an advance review.
Being a primarily visual medium, comic art can make or break a book. A good script can be felled by shoddy line work, haphazard design or just poor stylistic fit, sometimes meaning the difference between a one-time pick up and a return reader. Conversely, when the art is good, really good, the book has the potential to hit you over the head like an over-sized mallet, the marriage between writer and artist culminating in a lightly exclaimed "wow." Jeff Lemire's Descender is one of those books. His latest debut is at once a beautiful cosmic opera and nuanced think piece, balancing the fear of the unknown with the spirit of adventure. Driven by the gorgeous visuals of artist Dustin Nguyen, Descender is a book on the rise.
