Descender #1 Painted Visions Variant: One to Watch
I see some
If you have been talking about this one while I was having tests done. So here is the write up I started.
Ray Fawkes had tweeted out the picture above showing all the variants for Descender #1. One stood out to me and a couple other people more than others. It is the one on the lower left. It is the Descender #1 Painted Visions Variant and it seems to capture the feel of the series really well.
The book is up on eBay for $9.99 and they are being scooped up fast.
You guys are on the ball because they are gone.
