Descender Compendium

Jeff Lemire and Dustin Nguyen's acclaimed sci-fi epic, Descender, is collected in this 2024 compendium from Image Comics. The series follows the journey of TIM-21, a young robot boy, as he navigates a galaxy where artificial life has been outlawed following a catastrophic event. Lemire's emotional, character-driven storytelling is beautifully complemented by Nguyen's luminous watercolor art, creating a visually stunning and deeply human tale about family, memory, and what it means to be alive. This collection is the definitive way to experience one of the most celebrated independent comics of the 2010s.
