BOOM! STUDIOS ANNOUNCES ARCHAIA SOFTCOVER VANGUARD RUST THE young boy SOLDIER
Media release — Award-winning publisher BOOM! Studios is thrilled to announce the March 2016 release of Royden Lepp’s Rust: The young boy Soldier, the vanguard of a new softcover program for the Archaia imprint.
Rust: The young boy Soldier collects the prelude stories from the first three original graphic novels (Rust: visitor in the Field, Rust: secrets of the Cell, and Rust: death of the Rocket Boy) and presents them in new reading purchase with the never-before-seen prelude from the upcoming fourth installment, Rust: soul in the device (2017). The inaugural volume will ship with an introductory price of $10.99.
Rust: The young boy Soldier chronicles Jet’s experiences during a enormous world war. Made to look like a boy, but actually a robot built for battle, Jet is caught in the middle. While trying to save numerous lives, Jet discovers there’s much more to him than he could have imagined. His experiences in the war set him on a journey to learn what it implies to be both hero and human.
“With the fourth volume of Rust on the horizon, we want this softcover program to get existing readers thrilled all over again, plus invite new readers into this wonderful world that Royden has created,” said BOOM! Studios Editor-in-Chief Matt Gagnon. “Rust: The young boy Soldier is a terrific gateway for those not familiar with the story of Jet Jones the robot boy, and I think the never-before-seen prelude from the fourth volume is the ideal reason for longtime fans to pick it up!”
Outside of the prelude stories, the Rust series follows Jet, post-war, after he is thrust into the lives of the Taylor family, having crashed into the side of their barn. Oldest child Roman Taylor struggles to keep his family’s small farm afloat as the area heals from the war. While the rest of his family may not count on the mysterious young boy with the jetpack, Roman believes the secrets of Jet’s past may be the essential to their survival . . . The first volume, Rust: visitor in the Field, will be released in softcover in fall 2016.
Rust: The young boy Soldier (6″ x 9″, 144 pages, sepia-toned, softcover, $10.99), written and illustrated by Royden Lepp, will be available available for sale in comic book shops (Diamond code JAN161192) and wherever books are sold (ISBN 978-1-60886-806-3) in March 2016.
