Rust: The Boy Soldier by Royden Lepp
4.0

This book manages to say a lot, with very few words. Rust is a boy with a robotic core. He was invented/made to help end a war. A war against machines. Now this war looks like WW2, but with the clone army from Star Wars (but looks more steampunk). Rust does not want to be a weapon, and the death of others has him at odds. This graphic novel is a look at what it could be life to have emotional intelligence, and an indestructible form. It’s moving, imaginative and visually stunning.
