The Machine War (Descender, #6) by Jeff Lemire

And thus, it ends. For now, anyway. The epic tale of a robot uprising and one boy at the center of it all. A robot boy representing the very best of robots and their carbon-based counterparts.
This really was the story that had it all. And this is coming from someone who doesn’t actually like space operas. Not that this one was particularly operatic, more like tastefully understated.
Lemire doesn’t expound, doesn’t do cute, he’s very economic, telling you only what you need to know and relying on the books’ absolutely spectacular art to do the rest. Together, the combination is stunning. The watercolor panels of this series might be along some of the best graphic novel artistry I’ve ever seen.
The text to art ratio is perfect. The narrative is thrilling and hits all the right emotional notes.
All in all, The Descender books are about as close to a perfect (space) adventure as a reader might get. Recommended. Definitely. Read it, read it now.
