Descender, Issue #18 begins with, apparently, Tim-21 having killed Tim-22. Of course, machines don't really die, and the two are practically identical, so you don't know if it isn't the other way around until the end of the issue. Jin Quon and Telsa (I keep writing "Tesla") escape from the Machine Moon, but which Tim is with them? They seem to think that it's Tim-21, but it could just as easily be Tim-22.
A run of 18 issues is pretty good for a creator-owned comic, especially one done completely in watercolors, the way Dustin Nguyen does this title. Originally, Descender was envisioned to run 24 to 40 issues - and that may still be the case - but with Sony Pictures winning a competitive bidding war over the film rights to Descender, it may run longer. Keep an eye out because some big names are involved in the film adaptation. I know, we hear adaptations being in the works for tons of comics, but I really think this one's going to happen.
