About the series
A luminous, quietly heartbreaking science-fiction saga from Image Comics, Descender follows the young android TIM-21 as he awakens on a distant mining colony to find humanity has been nearly wiped out by colossal, planet-killing robots. Written by Jeff Lemire with painterly, watercolor-like art by Dustin Nguyen, the series explores themes of memory, identity, and what it means to be alive in a galaxy that fears and hunts its own creations. Its intimate, emotional storytelling and lush, expressive visuals made it a standout in Image's 2010s lineup, earning a devoted readership from its very first issue.
