Descender, Vol. 1: Tin Stars by Jeff Lemire
Do you remember the film AI? Yeah. I loved that, too.
What if I could get all the delicious goodies from that film and mix it with a complex galactic empire beset by huge robots called Harvesters that are a lot larger than the Death Star?
Oh yeah. Ohhhh yeah.
But don't stop there! Make sure your heroes are full of pathos and mythic qualities, mix in some good storytelling and fantastic art... and you've got this.
I love SF, but THIS is why I love SF.
Just how many factions, be it aliens, robot haters, robot sympathizers, and robots are we dealing with, here? I'm gonna start loving this series. My only complaint is in waiting for more to come out!
