Descender #7

Descender #7 kicks off "Machine Moon: Part One" with a cover that stops you cold — two boy-like androids face each other in profile, one rendered in cool teal and the other in deep red, their mechanical interiors visible beneath their humanoid forms. Rows of imposing full-scale robots loom in the background, reinforcing just how small and singular these two figures are against a much larger mechanical world. Dustin Nguyen's watercolor-influenced linework gives the whole image a quietly haunting elegance that makes Jeff Lemire's sci-fi series one of the most visually distinctive books Image published in 2015.
