Select praise for the Descender series:

"Lemire (Essex County) smoothly doles out information while amping up the tension, and the innocent, friendly character of TIM-21 creates real heart in the midst of extreme violence. Nguyen's watercolor artwork is marvelous, using the medium's transparency to create fluid and subtly lustrous pages." --Publishers Weekly, (starred review)

"The art feels light and almost whimsical. I love that. I also love the colors and the choice to make certain areas (UGC) bright so the panels pop off the page, and others (mining colony, Gnish homeworld), much darker, grittier. All of it together looks like watercolors without brushstrokes. Overall, there's a little something for everyone here in Descender." --Kirkus Reviews

"Your new sci-fi obsession is here, and its name is Descender...a gorgeous, moody story." --Entertainment Weekly

"An emotional, imaginative new universe, lavishly brought to life by the great Dustin Nguyen." --Brian K. Vaughan, Saga

"Gorgeous." --Vulture/NY Magazine

"An epic sci fi tale with a huge heart." --Scott Snyder, Wytches

"Remarkable... a journey that's so gripping, you'll be begging for more." --Bleeding Cool

"Beautiful." --Nerdist

"Exciting." --The Los Angeles Times' HeroComplex

"You should be reading this book." --Kotaku

"Incredible." --The Village Voice's Topless Robot

"It's so beautiful." --Kelly Sue DeConnick, Bitch Planet

"Deft and delightful, running from warmth to chilling, gentle to brutal." --Greg Rucka, Lazarus

"Hauntingly beautiful sci-fi that manages to be both epic & powerfully intimate. Masterfully done." --Jason Aaron, Southern Bastards

"What a beautiful, beautiful book. Descender is worth buying for the artwork alone, so it's almost a bonus that it tells such a compelling story about the future of humanity in a universe filled with terrors." --Charles Soule, The Oracle Year, Letter 44, Curse Words

"Lemire and Nguyen just pulled the curtain back on the medium's new best science fiction heartbreaker." --Matt Kindt, Mind Mgmt

"A beautiful cosmic opera and nuanced think piece, balancing the fear of the unknown with the spirit of adventure. Driven by the gorgeous visuals of artist Dustin Nguyen, Descender is a book on the rise." --IGN

"I love Jeff Lemire. I love Dustin Nguyen...This is a 5 star book!" --Mark Millar, Kick-Ass, Kingsman: The Secret Service, Hit-Girl

"Bloody hell, Jeff Lemire and Dustin Nguyen's Descender looks fantastic... " --Declan Shalvey, Injection

"Descender is darn good comic-book storytelling." --BLASTR

"Nothing short of beautiful." --Paste Magazine

Anzu has just moved to a new town during Obon, a time for families to remember and celebrate their ancestors. Ever since her obaachan died, though, Obon has lost its magic. She doesn't feel much like celebrating anymore.

While avoiding holiday festivities, Anzu spots a stray dog down the street. A dog that seems to be staring right at her. But when she chases after it, she slips and falls down a ridge, losing consciousness. When she awakes, she's in the Shinto underworld known as Yomi, a place she's only heard about in Obaachan's stories. The stray dog, she finds out, is actually the Gatekeeper of Yomi, and he warns her to return to the human realm before it's too late.

Only, getting home is not as simple as she'd thought. Faced with the nefarious Queen Izanami of Yomi and a world full of creatures she'd once thought weren't real, the race against the clock is on. She must break a curse, free the spirits of other lost children, and reach the gate home before sunrise...or be stuck in Yomi forever.
