The Haunted Galaxy (Ascender, #1) by Jeff Lemire

​Once I finally finished all of Descender, it was only natural to move on to Ascender. Lemire created such a spectacular world within these books that one wants to stick around and see what’s next.
Ascender is what’s next. Set about a decade later is a world severely hobbled/destroyed/decimated by the robotic powers that be, this tale follows a young girl, the daughter of two of the protagonists from the Descender books. A smart and scrappy kid, when we first meet her, she’s living with her dad on the outskirts of a society that worships Mother, a vampiric witch.
Then a certain robotic pup (love you, Bandit) finds them and shows them a map to the stars and soon the two are being pursued, locating old comrades, and fighting to stay alive. Ok, let the adventure begin. Onward.
