![]() I enjoyed a lot of the concepts and characters in here but didn’t enjoy jumping between the Galactic Empire and TIM-21’s home world. Overall this was a good start to the Descender graphic novel series. I found the parts with the Galactic Empire to be almost jarring when compared to the portions of the novel told from TIM-21’s perspective. I liked the parts of the graphic novel with TIM-21 way more than the parts with the Galactic Empire. You can’t help but like TIM-21 and the robots that help him. I also enjoyed that there was a lot of action in here but the graphic novel was still very personable. I enjoyed the watercolor-like illustration style to this graphic novel.

His mother taught Euell and his siblings to forage.Īt the age of 5, he prepared his first dish for the family - using his beloved wild hickory nuts.

In these last years of the 20th century, we Americans have much to remember, much to commemorate both in our history and our heritage, which are, after all, different…the one marking simply what happened, the good and the bad, the other enshrining the best in our past, that to which Lincoln’s mystic chords of memory stretch out most meaningfully, touched, as he said, by “The better angels of our nature”.
