I was so happy to pick this up in my local comic shop and I knew I would love it as I did with the first one. This one I felt was even better with not only artwork that's stunning but also a beautifully developing story line which is really starting to make a bit more sense now. I love the emotional connection we have with Tim-21 and his plight and with the introduction of our new scavenger character I think this has the potential to just get more emotional.
This is a series I would highly recommend, my favourite on-going sci-fi comic series (tied with Saga) right now I think :) 5*s

Jeff Lemire's writing really shines when he's writing his own stuff. And Dustin Nguyen's art fits perfectly with the style of this book. Continuing the adventures of Tim-21 and his supporting cast, Tim-21 is captured by the robot insurgency while a new bounty hunter is on the hunt for them. Probably Jeff Lemire's best work of his career.

These are the further adventures of little robot Tim-21 and his two robot friends and three human companions. Only Tim-21 isn't the only one of his kind left. Yup, there's two now.
And yes, they are different in character. Figures. It's a (not too subtle) metaphor for children of the same family growing up to be completely different depending on their surroundings as genetics isn't everything.
After the good doctor revealed to be nothing more than a copy-cat who tempered with tech he didn't understand, the robot resistance known as Hardwire arrives and breaks them out. However, the group is split up in the process with Tim-21 (amongst others) going with the robots to the titular Machine Moon. This is another not-too-subtle dig at what happens if any one group is suppressed for too long (violent uprisings).
Moreover, we're still trying to get to the bottom of the whole Harvester business though we took a relatively giant step in the right direction with this volume.
Oh, and a new character was introduced that will be quite important in the not too distant future, I bet. Thanks to this new person, we've also been granted insight into another aspect of this futuristic society, further widening the scope.
The story is still thrilling, puzzling and sometimes endearing (at least I'm feeling with some of the characters here). Nevertheless, it's still the artwork that makes this comic stand out. While many plot devices are nothing new, the art brings it all together and makes it shine.
Whether pale hues or vibrant and deep watercolours, the panels are setting the scene perfectly, highlighting each individual they depict and making the entire universe come to life.
I hope the author can keep this quality up!

I still love this series as much as before and I can't help but adore the different races, worlds and the overall feeling of this story. Tim-22 is the worst though.
Original Review:
This is quickly becoming my favorite ongoing series. I can't explain why this story appeals so much to me, how charming, how fantastic, how sweet and sad, how engaging it is to me. Everything from the artwork, to the designs, to the characters, the writing, all of the universe that Lemire has created and Nguyen's hand has brought to life. I love everything about Descender.
This is a sci fi story, a space opera, and this volume delivers in both aspects. It is stunningly beautiful how we're learning and meeting new planets, new groups, new people with different agendas. This story has a robot as its centric character, but it is such a human story and that is accomplished by seeing everything through TIM-21 eyes, the little robot that was loved and treated like a human, like a son and a brother. We care about certain characters, because TIM cares. It is heartbreaking seeing robots being hunted because we see humanity in them, both good and bad. This time around there's a new special character introduced, a scavenger, and I can't wait to see how his journey is going to be. There's humour this time and there are some good revelations, the universe is expanding, but the story doesn't lose any charm. Machine Moon was as much of a great and charming tale as Vol. 1, Tin Stars was.
The artwork complements this story and adds so much to the idea of these robots and their humanity. This is a story that in its core is a strong sci fi, but the artwork and the water color style enhance the emotional side of the story, it brings out the pain and chaos that the attack of the harvesters brought to everyone and the subsequent robot hunting. The job that Nguyen accomplishes with every page and illustration is brilliant and it's such a big, important part that defines the identity of this series.
I can't stop praising what's one of the most beautiful graphic novels I've read and I like I said before, I connect to this story completely and I'm eager to keep reading and falling in love with Descender.

The continuation of the space opera/sci fi series by Lemire and Nguyen, issues #7-11, and the action begins to ramp up. A bit. Hardwire, a rebel robot collective takes TIM-21, Telsa, and Dr. Quon into their custody. And we meet Tim-22, who of course looks just like Tim-21! And on another plane we meet Andy, TIM-21’s human brother, who suddenly finds out Tim-21 is still alive. There's also the multi-eyed Blugger, comic relief against the brooding Andy, and Driller-the-Killer, who help us see this comic is meant for somewhat younger audiences, or maybe all-ages, ala Star Wars.
Speaking of Star Wars, the dialogue is pretty flat and bland in Descenders, feels first drafty, as it often did in Star Wars. I am also reading Saga and Paper Girls, and read We Stand Guard, three sci fi series sort of in the spirit of Star Wars from Brian Vaughn, all with robots and humans. Retro sci fi in the new century! But Vaughn's dialogue crackles and pops. Not so Lemire's talk. Some of the characters in part as a result of this are pretty flat and stereotypical, so far, not very complex, but you know, there's a cliffhanger surprise at the end, so when we get the next installment, in six months. . . maybe things will get edgier. But you know, I am starting to warm up to it quite a bit. There's warmth and heart in this Lemire story. It doesn't feel wholly original, but it's a space opera! And it's Lemire, and I am a long time fan of especially his indie stuff.
This story has echoes of Lemire's father-son/family stories from Essex County, Sweet Tooth, stories with heart, but less darkness. Nguyen's artwork echoes some of Lemire's own sketchy artistic approach, you can see they worked closely together on story and image and color. It is the best thing about the series, really, so far, it helps to create warmth, with a kind of swirling contemporary feel. The art is the most original aspect of the story, not crisp Star Wars or bold and bright Saga. Andy's memories of growing up with Tim-21 almost literally swirl and cascade. Cool stuff.
I guess it seems like a 3.5 to me, after my 3 rating for the first volume, rounding up for the art.

The story keep getting better. In Vol 2, in the aftermath of Dr. Quon's admission, Tim-21 and Tim-22 are working with the Hardwire and Capt. Telsa to find out the connection with the Harvesters. That is the primary story here-more than that I shall not spoil.
The scope of the story keeps expanding in this issue. We find out about the Hardwire -a group of Robots that rescue other robots and take them to a safe haven. It seems Andy is not only alive but a bounty hunter who is a Scrapper (a robot hunter) and is searching for Tim-21, just as Tim-21 is searching for him. We also see a development in the Driller/Tullis relationship as they bond in the gladiatorial pits. The first hints that Tim-21 may have abilities far beyond what we know and the fact that Dr. Quon has admitted to using Harvester tech in the creation of Tim-21 is also quite fascinating.
The only down side to this excellent story is the artwork. At best it is "ok" but mostly gets by on a level of mediocrity that it can not seem to rise above. Is it horrid? No..but it's not good. Shame- a story of this caliber deserved a better artist.
An excellent Sci-fi story and I look forwards to more of this series.

Like the first volume, the setup is great and here is MORE setup.
There's a whole machine revolution coming and all the flesh-types, human or alien, are ramping-up an overwhelming response, but I tend to enjoy the storyline of Tim's big bro being on the hunt for his little robot brother.
It's pretty good. I wouldn't call it fantastic. Still, it's enjoyable and has a solidly developing storyline. The art style is interesting and the story is moving down some predictable lines. It's also not quite as deep as the first. But it's still worth continuing. I just want to watch Speilburg's AI again. :)

Even better than the first one. And I rated that five stars already.
Lemire adds some humor to the mix by giving us a new main player,
giving him a partner
and then establishing a nice buddy dynamic between the two.
He's also expanding on the universe he created. This starts to feel more akin to Star Wars.
He only needs to add a truly evil villain. Actually, he might have introduced one here. But we'll see if I'm right about that.
Even though the tone changed a bit, there were still some heartbreaking moments. I really care for the main character. And this time not only for him, but a few others as well. Some of those characters are really close to my heart already.
Lemire is also exploring what it means to be human, or a little bot with his emotion settings set at a pretty high level.
Nguyen's art is still great. But for some reason I think the first volume made better use of it.
My only real complaint though is that at a mere 106 pages this volume is rather short. I need more.
I'm already in love with this series.
Nope. I actually start to feel a little bad about not buying the hardcover editions of this one.

Jeff Lemire can do no wrong. Honestly we're two volumes in and I feel like this could go so much further, so I don't even want to talk about the story. But I will say a few things. This is a high concept, but still deeply personal story. Much like Trillium, but unlike Trillium, this is working for me. Maybe that's because there's no time travel happening (at least not yet).
Please don't throw time travel in Jeff. Please god don't do it.
But Lemire right? Is it any surprise that he hired on an artist that uses watercolors? For his freakin' cyborg AI space opera? I mean, watercolor doesn't seem like the best option for this particular kind of story, but Nguyen pulls it off so hard. So fucking hard. I mean, somehow he makes his linework super tight and composed. Most watercolor looks kind of... interpretive to me, for lack of a better word, but the art in Descender is sharp and coherent. That in and of itself is an incredible skill.

Wow.
Was NOT expecting that ending. That's a pretty big cliffhanger (which I don't mind because it just makes me want to read the next book even more.)
Also, why you gotta do this to me?
I just thought of something that's kind of different ... I kind of want a novel based on this story. I know that doesn't happen often but I would love to see this world fleshed out even more.
I'm in love with the artwork though so I don't want this series to go away anytime soon.

Descender goes to a even darker place as multiple characters begin to shift around.
While Tim is taken by his new robot family and held up in high regards as the savior, we focus our viewpoint on a scrapper. What's that? Basically a guy who takes jobs to murder robots around the world. It's both sad and horrifying. On top of that we have our new Robot buddy Tim 22, who is a lot like Tim 21, but maybe not? Oh and we learn a bit more about the Harvesters and maybe the secret of their creation?
Plenty of major reveals here. I love Tim 21, and Driller is a Real Killer, as both are great characters. The new point of view here works well and the character introduced is both intriguing and a bit twisted on viewpoints. It is a bit predictable and sometimes the art makes it hard to tell what's happening.
Overall, like most of Lemire's projects, this is pretty damn good. A 4 out of 5.

This second volume is just as fantastic as the first in the series. The story is a good balance of action and character development. The writers continue the world building in this volume to provide the readers with a better understanding of this futuristic universe. The watercolour artwork continues to impress me. I found myself stopping on several pages just to admire the panels.

Nešto slabije od prvog, neophodna pauza posle frantičnog početka (a i premalo najdražeg psihopatskog robota, Drilera), ali grube crte koje nagoveštavaju kuda ide priča dosta obećavaju. Sa ovim serijalom ostajem do kraja, može da bude samo bolje.

Trade de desenvolvimento da trama e ainda assim soberbamente escrita, com uma arte que é em si um desenvolvimento pictórico da narrativa em modo averbal.
Fico a salivar de antecipação pelo terceiro volume.

I am sold. "Descender" definitely deserves more love. Jeff Lemire and Dustin Nguyen have created a spectacular series that could be showy in every means but yet they have chosen to take a minimalist approach. And it's in the simplicity that makes this sci-fi series so unique.
Echoing my review for Volume 1, "Descender" has so much emotional depth that shines through the watercolour illustrations and underdog characters. Volume 2 expands the field of vision just a little more to give it a Star Wars-esque universe. I'm so excited to see this be adapted for the big screen.

I just really like this series a lot. There is a depth to the story that can be explored in so many different avenues. The art is just perfect in my opinion and adds so much to the overall presentation. There is a mystery aspect that I find really intriguing that makes me want to keep on reading to discover the secrets this world has waiting. It is mature but it isn't trying to be edgy in any way that is annoying. I would love to read a novel set in this universe. I thought this one was just as good as the first volume and will be continuing to get this trade every time it comes out. The characters are just really interesting to me without being some caricature that other graphic novel series might fall into.

After an action packed first volume, Descender slows it down to flesh out the ever-expanding universe whilst introducing some more characters that will no doubt cross paths with Tim-21 soon enough.
The introduction of these characters does mean that the story crawls along in these five issues; there's not a lot of progression for anyone involved, mostly because three issues are devoted to exploring a new character, and the other two are about Tim-21 and his captors. It's nice to see dedication to these new plot points, and it wouldn't have made sense for them to have been introduced before this, but it does put a dampener on the momentum of the first arc.
The artwork still remains a huge selling point however; Dustin Nguyen's watercolours are absolutely gorgeous, especially the flashback issue and some of the more sweeping landscapes and robot designs.
A solid second arc, if a little slow, but I'll be sticking around. Lemire very rarely misses a beat in his indie stuff, so I'm sure he has a plan in place to build any lost momentum in arc 3.

Love the series so far. The story is strong, the art is gorgeous, only one complaint; reading it in volumes, some of the spine gets in the way of the art since its down the middle of the book. In issues it might look better, but in vols, you lose a little of it. Which is a shame because some of the way the art flows and falls is amazing and I wish I could see the artist pages for it.

I love this series. Great story telling mixed with superb artwork, the two combined make a great novel. The exploration of the different cultures worlds are expanding, the story is developing nicely, some plotlines are a little predictable, but I'm still loving the read.

In two volumes this has become one of my favorite ongoing series.
October 5, 2021
Didn't love it as much as Vol. 1.
April 18, 2017
This is a great continuation to Vol. 1 and I'm really enjoying this science fiction tale. TIM-21 and TIM-22 escape with Telsa and Dr. Quon to Hardwire, except they are forced to leave Driller and Bandit which just happen to be my two favorite characters. TIM-21 still just wants to find Andy and the reader finally gets to meet Andy, who once he learns TIM-21 is still alive, starts his search for him with the some help from Bandit and Driller, who he rescues. This volume also introduces the reader briefly to Andy's ex-wife who is an interesting character to say the least.
The artwork continues to be great and in this volume, some of the panels are done with a texture which resembles watercolor paper which is a really nice effect. I have to admit I enjoyed Volume 1 a tad more than this one but it's still a strong series and I plan on continuing on with it as soon as I can locate the next volume at my local library.

This volume wasn't as action-packed as the first one was, but what it lacked in fight scenes it more than made up for with plot development and world-building.
I like the POV split between the robots and the humans (Tim & Andy) and I am very eager for them to merge. Until then though - both storylines are keeping me engaged and VERY MUCH invested in what is happening. Crazy-Cray cliffhanger at the end of this volume too. That Tim-22 Companion is a right dirty fuck.
Please, Mr. Driller, punch him in the face?
This is an easy 5 stars for me. The artwork, the storyline, the characters...all of it is right up my alley and gives me that sweet, sweet sci-fi fix that I so desperately find myself longing for.
Vive la Robot Revolution!

Anotación de relectura. Es muy interesante el planteo de la posible filosofía futura de la convivencia entre humanos e inteligencia artificial.
La historia se abre en distintas tramas. Se ahonda en los personajes y sus intencionesy emociones. El arte continua siendo maravilloso. Como toda obra de Lemire hay sobrecarga de sentimientos al punto que dos robots con inteligencia artificial en una charla se cuestionan que tan bueno sería sentir tal cual los humanos. Muy bueno la verdad.
