![]() Although it does arrange itself into a series of arcs, for the most part the series is one long narrative that is most satisfying through reading the entire thing. Descender – Volume 1: Tin Stars from Jeff Lemire, Dustin Nguyen, and Steve Wands takes a different approach, giving us the robot without his boy, the search for his human, and a technological mystery that is bringing the universe to its doom.ĭescender (and its follow-up sequel series Ascender) is kind of a slow burn serial. Kind of like the “boy and his dog” trope (wherein sometimes even the dog is a robot), we often see it as an investigation on how far that companion robot will go to in order to be human, protect their flesh and blood companion, and in many cases sacrifice themselves in a situation where they prove their real emotion/worth. The story of a boy and his robot is one of the common structures within science fiction. ![]()
