by Olly MacNamee
Ascender, the eighteen-issue companion series to Descender by writer Jeff Lemire and artist Dustin Nguyen, will soon be available as a mammoth paperback compendium edition from Image Comics this autumn.
“Ten years after the conclusion of Descender, magic has taken the place of machinery and the rules of the universe are very different. Andy and Effie’s daughter, Mila, spends her days exploring the lonely wilds of the planet Sampson and trying to stay out of the clutches of the all-powerful vampire witch known only as “Mother.” But like her parents, Mila doesn’t like to play by the rules, and when a certain robot pal of her dad’s shows up, nothing will ever be the same.”
Ascender Compendium paperback will be out in comic book stores on Wednesday, October 30 and book stores on Tuesday, November 12th from Image Comics with the Descender Compendium paperback available now.
