A good start to the new storyline. A dystopian fantasy? The coven seems to be in a position of great power. Who's the face of the resistance?

Nice to meet some old friends again. The artstyle is more or less the same as in [b: Descender|25546167|Descender, Vol. 1 Tin Stars|Jeff Lemire|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1435054237l/25546167._SY75_.jpg|45338966]. Which is great news.

3.5 stars

Will continue with the second issue immediately.

Very different premise from Descender. Some familiar characters, mostly new ones. Who is this mother? And those vampires? I got a strong fantasy vibe from this first issue.

I like that the girl has her own lettering. Good artwork, as before.

Spoiler“...beware the hound with a backwards tongue.“

Fra! Fra!

To be continued!

I'm glad to see more from the Descender, now Ascender series!

So far it looks great, and has a pretty strong starting point. I wish we got to see more of Mila though. (but that's okay, as there's quite a bit of world-building and plot-building to do, considering where we left off in Descender. )

I look forward to the next release!
