Trade Review“An epic sci fi tale with a huge heart.” —
Scott Snyder, Wytches"Lemire (Essex County) smoothly doles out information while amping up the tension, and the innocent, friendly character of TIM-21 creates real heart in the midst of extreme violence. Nguyen's watercolor artwork is marvelous, using the medium's transparency to create fluid and subtly lustrous pages." —
Publishers Weekly, (starred review)"The art feels light and almost whimsical. I love that. I also love the colors and the choice to make certain areas (UGC) bright so the panels pop off the page, and others (mining colony, Gnish homeworld), much darker, grittier. All of it together looks like watercolors without brushstrokes. Overall, there’s a little something for everyone here in Descender." —
Kirkus Reviews“Your new sci-fi obsession is here, and its name is Descender...a gorgeous, moody story.” —
Entertainment Weekly"An emotional, imaginative new universe, lavishly brought to life by the great Dustin Nguyen." —
Brian K. Vaughan, Saga“Gorgeous.” —
