Todas las cuerdas de esta historia han llegado a su punto de tensión máxima y las campanadas de guerra entre los robots， la raza gnish y los humanos resuenan en la oscuridad del espacio。。。Tim 21， el niño androide， el robot más buscado de la galaxia， la pieza que puede volcar la balanza de la victoria de uno u otro lado， ha llegado al planeta oceánico Mata y tal parece que no existe otro lugar en el cosmos donde las respuestas a su destino estén más claras y palpables。 No puedo decir más， sería s Todas las cuerdas de esta historia han llegado a su punto de tensión máxima y las campanadas de guerra entre los robots， la raza gnish y los humanos resuenan en la oscuridad del espacio。。。Tim 21， el niño androide， el robot más buscado de la galaxia， la pieza que puede volcar la balanza de la victoria de uno u otro lado， ha llegado al planeta oceánico Mata y tal parece que no existe otro lugar en el cosmos donde las respuestas a su destino estén más claras y palpables。 No puedo decir más， sería spoiler。 。。。more

Events are converging as good Tim tries to escape， protect his friends， and find the ur-robot。 Bad Tim gets worse， Driller is marooned on a seemingly magical planet， and the robots launch their ugc/humanity attack。 Every body end up in the vicinity of a water planet， trying to wipe out their enemies and find out about their fate via the last surviving old robot。 More surprises too！

Somehow， and I'm really not sure how， the art got better。 Or maybe I've now officially spent so much time with these characters that they ump off the page more because they are more real to me。 The story has turned up to eleven， as well。 We're at the key moment in a third act where all the stakes are raised and everything feels too intense。And I'm here for it。One more volume in the series。 It's late， but I can't go to bed here。 Somehow， and I'm really not sure how， the art got better。 Or maybe I've now officially spent so much time with these characters that they ump off the page more because they are more real to me。 The story has turned up to eleven， as well。 We're at the key moment in a third act where all the stakes are raised and everything feels too intense。And I'm here for it。One more volume in the series。 It's late， but I can't go to bed here。 。。。more

The ending of this volume knocked my socks off because I briefly forgot what we were on Mata for。 Wowie did a lot happen this volume！Tim is my favorite robot son and I love the relationship he’s building with Telsa。 I live for the “rough character adopts younger character against their initial wishes” trope。 I think Tim could worm his way into anyone’s heart。 Such is his nature！Can I also just say this volume has some of the most intriguing and unsettling cover art。 Just。 So much space and yet s The ending of this volume knocked my socks off because I briefly forgot what we were on Mata for。 Wowie did a lot happen this volume！Tim is my favorite robot son and I love the relationship he’s building with Telsa。 I live for the “rough character adopts younger character against their initial wishes” trope。 I think Tim could worm his way into anyone’s heart。 Such is his nature！Can I also just say this volume has some of the most intriguing and unsettling cover art。 Just。 So much space and yet so much texture。 I would like to have it as a print at some point。Also I’m slowly coming to accept that space operas are just one of those genres I will always love and enjoy until the end of time。 I just have too much fun reading and watching them。 。。。more

It’s getting so exciting！ I wonder how they’re going to wrap it all up in one more book！

Yet another volume completed in one sitting。 I can't get enough of this series， each turn of the page reveals a new element I could have never seen coming。I have watched a lot of sci-fi films and played a lot of sci-fi games in my life and always felt the plots to be a bit formulaic。 Although Descender follows this generic formula （machines gain sentience and take revenge against humans who have treated them poorly） it manages to weave in surprises that feel authentic to the genre。 I think that Yet another volume completed in one sitting。 I can't get enough of this series， each turn of the page reveals a new element I could have never seen coming。I have watched a lot of sci-fi films and played a lot of sci-fi games in my life and always felt the plots to be a bit formulaic。 Although Descender follows this generic formula （machines gain sentience and take revenge against humans who have treated them poorly） it manages to weave in surprises that feel authentic to the genre。 I think that part of this is achieved by the short nature of the chapters。 When sci-fi television episodes drag one plot point on for an hour long episode it feels like an artificially lengthened arc。 That same arc can be represented in a comic book throughout one chapter or less。 Although you are getting more content out of a television series I much prefer the comic book approach of shorter arcs， as I find very little joy in suspense for the sake of suspense。 It is hard to find a cliff-hanger exciting when it occurs with every other plot point， instead in Descender Lemire identifies what will happen at the end of the series （view spoiler）[（Tim-21 leading the machine attack on the humans） （hide spoiler）] and allows that to fester in the readers minds throughout the entire series until its climax。At the end of this volume the entire cast has convened at the same location for the final showdown。 This is the moment I have been waiting for throughout the entire series， and hope that the final volume fully delivers on everything I have imagined while reading this series。 。。。more

This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers。 To view it， click here。 Tim-22 tries to kill Telsa and Quon， but Quon breaks out of the jail Telsa had put him in with his super-strong robot arm and rips Tim-22's head off， creating a fairly disturbing few panels when Tim-22 is of course not dead。 Just a murderous robot kid with his head hanging by a wire。 Andy， Effie， and Bandit are with the UGC after a bunch of ships explode and they are the last 2 or 3 left surviving。 Tim-21 was with Psius and the hardwires but he escapes/crash lands on Mata （spelling？） where Telsa Tim-22 tries to kill Telsa and Quon， but Quon breaks out of the jail Telsa had put him in with his super-strong robot arm and rips Tim-22's head off， creating a fairly disturbing few panels when Tim-22 is of course not dead。 Just a murderous robot kid with his head hanging by a wire。 Andy， Effie， and Bandit are with the UGC after a bunch of ships explode and they are the last 2 or 3 left surviving。 Tim-21 was with Psius and the hardwires but he escapes/crash lands on Mata （spelling？） where Telsa and Quon are and saves Telsa。 Quon's been shot in the back though so I'm not sure how he'll be。 Telsa stomps Tim-22's head into much until he's finally "dead"。。。 probably。Driller is on a planet I can't think of the name of with Mizren， but then some dude I can't remember shows up and takes Driller with him。I obviously need to go back and re-read the first 3 books because I read them like a year ago and it's dumb that I'm trying to finish without skimming through them at least。 。。。more

This volume didn’t feel quite as action packed as the other volumes even though some significant events do occur and there is quite a cliffhanger ending。 I just don’t see how the sixth volume can possibly wrap all this up but I am excited to find out what happens next！

¡Iniciando bien el 2021！Se que la espera del último tomo me va a matar， pero por mientras que eso sucede voy a releer toda la serie completa， para no perderme ningún detalle al momento que llegue el final。Por ahora， me gusta que el pequeño Tim no haya cambiado radicalmente su forma de ser， a pesar de las duras pruebas que ha tenido que superar。 Yo solo espero que no le pase nada malo en el volumen conclusivo， porque entonces no sé lo que voy a hacer。

Decapitation， explosion， and electrocution。Goblins， vampires， and Gnish。Escaping， connecting， fighting， rescuing， uprising！This is another volume where a lot is happening but not much is answering our questions。 However， judging from the last page， we're about to get the info dump we need for this series。This series has 6 volumes。 Decapitation， explosion， and electrocution。Goblins， vampires， and Gnish。Escaping， connecting， fighting， rescuing， uprising！This is another volume where a lot is happening but not much is answering our questions。 However， judging from the last page， we're about to get the info dump we need for this series。This series has 6 volumes。 。。。more

Wow。Just。 Wow。I did not expect this book to bring in fantasy， though I knew that the next series - Ascender， is in the same universe and has a fantasy setting。 Everything is coming to a head now。 I must buy a copy of volume 6 ASAP。

FF66FF: orphan home cornfield （tkaronto）If this were a film， volume five would be the big climatic fight where the seats would be reverberating from all the explosions。 There's a ton of cutting back and forth between key fights and our various heroes， still separated by circumstances。 There's also the beginning of personal and large scale reckonings。 On the personal level， Tim-22 is defeated。http://pussreboots。com/blog/2020/comm。。。 FF66FF: orphan home cornfield （tkaronto）If this were a film， volume five would be the big climatic fight where the seats would be reverberating from all the explosions。 There's a ton of cutting back and forth between key fights and our various heroes， still separated by circumstances。 There's also the beginning of personal and large scale reckonings。 On the personal level， Tim-22 is defeated。http://pussreboots。com/blog/2020/comm。。。 。。。more

Maybe the last volume will be good， but I have no high hopes honestly。 These characters are dry af， they have no motivation whatsoever， their backgrounds are cliche and the plot itself is cliche。 Andy is annoying the hell out of the with him calling Queen Between by her old name， even tho she said already she doesn't like it。 The only reason I'm continuing is because it's already ending， but I really don't have any curiosity in how this is gonna end。 The art style still remains incredible， thoug Maybe the last volume will be good， but I have no high hopes honestly。 These characters are dry af， they have no motivation whatsoever， their backgrounds are cliche and the plot itself is cliche。 Andy is annoying the hell out of the with him calling Queen Between by her old name， even tho she said already she doesn't like it。 The only reason I'm continuing is because it's already ending， but I really don't have any curiosity in how this is gonna end。 The art style still remains incredible， though。 。。。more

I've said all I can say about the cinematic story， art， and characters， but I have to mention the clever layouts。 Lemire has done this in his other works （ex。 Sweet Tooth）， but the artists he work with always bring their own creativity to these layouts。 I loved the foldable 4-page spread in this volume。 It really captured the vast destruction of that specific scene。 In past volumes there were also flipped panels and two-page spreads designed to be read with the book flipped on its side。 All very I've said all I can say about the cinematic story， art， and characters， but I have to mention the clever layouts。 Lemire has done this in his other works （ex。 Sweet Tooth）， but the artists he work with always bring their own creativity to these layouts。 I loved the foldable 4-page spread in this volume。 It really captured the vast destruction of that specific scene。 In past volumes there were also flipped panels and two-page spreads designed to be read with the book flipped on its side。 All very cool。One more volume left， and I'm excited for the finale。 。。。more

This series just continues to impress me， not just with the art style and story itself， but that in such a short space of time， I’ve become fully invested in the world and all the characters living in them。 This volume sees the Robots finally stand up and take the fight back to the humans， Driller go on his own adventure with a new friend and also Tim-21 get even closer to finding out answers behind the harvesters。 Every character is morally grey， and even in a limited time frame， many character This series just continues to impress me， not just with the art style and story itself， but that in such a short space of time， I’ve become fully invested in the world and all the characters living in them。 This volume sees the Robots finally stand up and take the fight back to the humans， Driller go on his own adventure with a new friend and also Tim-21 get even closer to finding out answers behind the harvesters。 Every character is morally grey， and even in a limited time frame， many characters go through personal development， that all felt valid and well earned。 I can’t wait to go straight into volume 6 and see how this series comes to a conclusion。 。。。more

Descender has been a solid and thoroughly entertaining and enjoyable series throughout， and volume five here really raises the level - Here's hoping that Lemire sticks the landing in the final installment which I shall start reading right now because I'm addicted。 Descender has been a solid and thoroughly entertaining and enjoyable series throughout， and volume five here really raises the level - Here's hoping that Lemire sticks the landing in the final installment which I shall start reading right now because I'm addicted。 。。。more
