About the series
A brief, two-issue science-fiction series from Image Comics, Descender (2017–present) presents a self-contained story by writer Jeff Lemire and artist Dustin Nguyen. The series explores a future where robot children are hunted, focusing on a young android named TIM-21 as he navigates a galaxy shaped by human fear of artificial intelligence. Though its publication run was cut short, the project remains notable for Nguyen’s evocative watercolor art and Lemire’s emotionally resonant, intimate storytelling within a sprawling cosmic setting.
