Descender, Issue #14 is mostly from the viewpoint of Bandit, Andy's and Tim-21's childhood friend, a robotic dog (as seen on the cover). The issue shows a little bit of Andy's story, of what happened when the Harvesters came, but for the most part, there's very little dialogue. It mostly takes place on the planet or moon where Andy's mother was working as a miner, but the ending portends of a reunion between Andy and Tim-21. If you'll recall, the last time we saw Tim-21, he was being assaulted by Tim-22, an attempt at murder, really.
Like usual, Issue #14 is full of Dustin Nguyen's beautiful watercolors. I hadn't read Descender in some time, and Issue #15 is supposed to come out at the end of September. It's always a good time to catch up on Jeff Lemire's work. I like how the artwork shows the rooms and planet-scapes not from Bandit's perspective, but from Bandit's level, as if the "eye" of the art is a foot off the ground. There are other eyes used on this title, too, such as showing Bandit from various levels depending on who else is in the scene. Brilliant stuff.
