Book Review: Descender Vol 1: Tin Stars by Jeff Lemire

Descender, Vol. 1: Tin Stars by Jeff Lemire My rating: 4 of 5 stars "God? I don't think so, Doctor Quon...it's a machine ." First of all....that artwork, tho!! Dustin Ngyuen has been on my radar for a while, but I've never read a book he's done all the artwork for. This was an absolute treat!! I was a little apprehensive going in, because I just read Jeff Lemire's Gideon Falls, Vol. 1: The Black Barn , and it wasn't really my cup of tea. Apparently, when he's writing straight-up sci-fi, it's much more "my bag." It's about a little boy robot extremely reminiscent of Haley Joel Osment's character in the movie A.I. . While that was technically a retelling of 'Pinocchio' , this was quite a lot more. I would say it's a mix between that and 'Battlestar Galactica' . I'm definitely reading more of this series.
