Better than vol 3 which was mostly flashbacks. Nothing seems to be working out for the good guys, lots of tension building, some character building and a new character that's pretty fun. Looking forward to the next volume. ( )

Good plot progression; I can definitely feel everything slowly coming to a head and building great tension. The artwork continues to be lovely. Chapter 1 was especially mindblowing with the juxtaposition of the three different character/location focuses. The chapter is especially an accomplishment given how little dialogue there is. A perfect example of how powerful and meaningful well-done art can be. ( )

Still a lot of fun. I think I like where this is all leading in the short term. ( )

This volume of the Descenders, both continues to fill in the back stories of some of the characters as well as moving the story along. Tim-21, Telsa and Quon escape the Machine Moon and head out to look for the ancient robot who may hold the answers they are looking for. Unfortunately, the forever-10 year old Tim-21 that accompanies them may not be the right Tim which puts both Quon and Telsa in danger.

Tim-21’s brother Andy and his companions are moving every closer to discovering where Tim-21 is, but then Driller explains why he calls himself a Killer and Andy must deal with the consequences of his confession.

By this 4th volume we are familiar with the characters and the story so the fast action and many twists that this volume brings keeps the story moving and the reader engaged. The artwork in this volume creates a futuristic background, while the characters are depicted showing emotions that make us care about what is happening to them. ( )

Ah, this one is much better. Lots of current action again and the stakes are now high. Fleets mobilizing, lies, more subterfuge, and some happy accidents.

The character evolution seems slightly... ham-fisted. At least in a few cases. But the SFnal arc is progressing nicely at last.

Humans versus Robots, where no one is quite good. But by the same token, no one is quite bad. I do like that at least. :) ( )
