5 posts | 2 read
"THE HAUNTED GALAXY," Part One Powerhouse creative team JEFF LEMIRE and DUSTIN NGUYEN launch an all-new sequel series to DESCENDER with the launch of ASCENDER! Set ten years after the conclusion of DESCENDER's storyline, magic has taken the place of machinery and the rules are very different indeed Mila, the daughter of Andy and Effie from DESCENDER, spends her days exploring the lonely wilds of the planet Sampson and trying to stay out of the clutches of the evil disciples of the all-powerful vampire witch known only as Mother. But, like her parents, Mila doesnt like to play by the rules, and when a certain robot pal of her dad's shows up, nothing will ever be the same! With all the scope and heart of the sci-fi classic DESCENDER, LEMIRE and NGUYEN reunite to take readers on an unforgettable fantasy quest!

Last post for #c2e2 2020 and it has to be about comics, right? Had a great time visiting Artist Alley. Love wandering and seeing all the artists. Got to see Skottie Young (and get our usual picture with him), Jenny Frison, Dustin Nguyen, Donny Cates and Rainbow Rowell. Picked up a few prints—Wonder Woman, The Mandalorian (not pictured). Also got a piece of original art—The Child—from Dustin Nguyen (couldn‘t resist!) So. Much. Fun.

Here‘s my stack of #24in48 reading. I loved using the readathon to catch up on comics. I also got about 5 hours of progress in on my audiobook. 🎉📚🎧

Very excited to return to world first introduced in Descender, a story about the battle between man & machine. Ten years later, technology has been banished & magic is reasserting itself. Mila (the daughter of a main character in Descender) chaffs under the confining, but safe, life her father has carved out for them & longs to go out in the world in spite of the dangers. Nguyen‘s watercolor art is gorgeous, as always. Great start to a new story.

There are #ncbd Wednesdays & then there are #NCBD WEDNESDAYS!!! So many big releases today including the tagged comic which picks up 10 years or so after Descender. Then, Invisible Kingdom #2, Wonder Woman #69, Ironheart #5, Fearscape #5 & Runaways #20. Honestly, it‘s an embarrassment of comics riches. So much good reading here—including Middlewest #6 which is for @ElishaLovesBooks & her classroom. This is going to be a great afternoon of reading!

vivastory Is this Ascender issue 1? 5y
vivastory Nevermind, I see you tagged it 😂 I never read single issues, but I might have to break that for this. Descender was one of the best I've ever read. 5y
