Descender Volume 3: Singularities (Descender, 3)

7.5/10I wasn't sure whether to buy this volume in the series, as a priori I thought it was an interruption. However, I'm glad I did because once I read this volume, all the characters in the saga make sense. This is a flashback in time for each of the main characters, in separate chapters, and also a multi-time flashback for each of them, so we get to see and know from where they are coming from. To me that's was the right thing to do to give soul to the the story soul and psychological depth to the characters. Even the annoying Driller the Killer makes sense once we read the chapter devoted to it in this volume. If you are reading or intend to read the whole series, this is a must.I am always mesmerised by Nguyen masterly drawing and water-colouring. It's a total delight to see each of his vignettes, no matter what he's painting: faces, landscapes, outaspaces, details, anything, although some of the images I felt were drawn or an homage to classics films of science fiction. Overall, a very enjoyable volume. And I loved the story between Effie and Andy.I love the lettering used in this series. Very creative and audible, if that can be said.The Kindle rendering of the book is excellent, with awesome quality details. Double tapping individuate vignettes and allows to swipe between them effortlessly; however, some of them do not automatically seize to the preferable reading size when there are vignettes with small lettering, but pitching out each vignette solves the problem.

This volume moves away from the gripping present-day action of the first two volumes and goes back in time to the histories of various characters. It's a digression that is worth the trip, as it tells us more about them and the world they live in. That said, I do hope the next installment gets back to the action. The color-soaked grit of the art continues to be a major joy. One of my favorite sci-fi series.

One of the most imaginative and touching science fiction graphic novels around. Dustin Nguyen's watercolor art is magnificent and Jeff Lemire's story is a pageturner. Get all 6 volumes.

I don't understand the bad reviews. Just as good as the first 2 TP, the writing and art continue to be dope. I like the approach of giving each character their own issue to go over their back story, it really fleshes out the world building.

Arrived new as described.

Solid addition to the series. I think the secondary characters are shaping up to be as intriguing as the main characters.

This series is awesome and keeps getting better with every book.

This whole series was fantastic.

Great art and a compelling story. It still feels like it's missing something by book 3, which is unusual... but I'm definitely enjoying it and will read on.Good book but not quite a classic... yet.Read if you're a fan of Azimov.

3rd volume of Descender keeps up the momentum, great storytelling and artwork, plenty of plot twists and reveals - loved it!

Bit of a tangent from the story. This contains back stories of all our major characters so far. I feel they could have been thrown in other volumes as flash backs rather than a giant plop of 'This happened to them'

Item as described, Super fast delivery!

I'm really enjoying this series.
