Finally continuing with Ascender. We still have the watercolour artwork that has also defined Descender. A lot of images give vague impressions…

Others are more detailed…

I am still in love with the art, even though the story hasn‘t grabbed me as much as in Descender. I seriously dislike the vampires. I don‘t get the point of them. I think I will have to re-read all of this back to back at some point.

I love when there are full 2-page spreads showing memories or info from data readouts as happens in this issue. Also, some very intriguing developments coming into play in this issue!
