First Look: DESCENDER #1 from Jeff Lemire and Dustin Nguyen

DESCENDER is coming in March from Jeff Lemire and Dustin Nguyen. Here's what Jeff had to say about it.

"DESCENDER has huge set pieces, big adventure and lots of twists. It's a sprawling space epic, and the biggest story I've ever tackled. But at it's heart, DESCENDER is also a small story. The story of TIM-21, a young robot torn from his home and adrift in a galaxy that hates and fears him. It's this dynamic between the epic and the intimate that I think will make readers fall for DESCENDER. And if that wasn't enough, Dustin Nguyen is doing the artwork of his career. I couldn't be more excited to launch DESCENDER in March."

Check out the preview.

Check out the art before. The files were in a format our site didn't like. It's been fixed. Refresh the page.

So many great image books out and on the way. By the end of the year I'll probably be trading all marvel and DC and get only image books monthly.

@g_man: Is that how the lettering has appeared? I thought I was loosing it for a second.

Computer, what is this thing?

Really can't wait for this!

Already added it to my pull.

Looking forward to this.

Looks awesome!

@jonny_anonymous: Hmm. Possible. I was just so excited to post, I didn't notice that part. Just the colors were a little whack. It's a CMYK vs RGB file thing. I like how crisp things look now. Really excited about this.

I don't know if Jeff Lemiere is any good but I love Dustin Nguyen's art

@machomustachio: ...Dude, where have you been? Jeff Lemire is amazing

@captainmarvel4ever: really? cool then I will totally check the trade out

Wow.... This was on my pull list as soon as it was announced and I'm very glad I put it on there. Seriously looking forward to this title.

You had me at Lemire, but really had me with the art and synopsis.

2015 is probably gonna be the Year Of Image for me. They've got so much announced so far that I'm hyped up for!

I've got a soft spot for Nguyen's work.

@g_man: This is definitely a very exciting book. I can't wait for it now.

Jeff Lemire FTW!!!
