Descender, Issue #12 begins the five-issue arc, "Singularities." It begins 10 years in the past, on the planet Niyrata. Tim-22 is given to an old man as a companion android by the man's son, Ambassador Crup. The old man abuses Tim-22, who true to his programming, obeys him. Something goes wrong, though. One day, when Tim-22 is cleaning up a mess, the Harvesters attack. In the aftermath, Tim-22 becomes a fugitive. Ten years later, his violent confrontation with Tim-21 continues.
I'm so glad Descender is back again. This really is one of my favorite comics. If you haven't read it, give the first arc a try. It's only $6 or $7 on Amazon, and ComiXology Unlimited might have it free to borrow. My favorite scene in this issue is the part where the Harvesters attack, and the watercolors throughout the issue are imaginative and detailed. The amount of work it must take to realize this comic must be overwhelming for artist Dustin Nguyen and designer/letterer Steve Wands. It must be worth it, though because this comic is unlike anything out there.
