From the publisher –

Welcome to Rust City—a brutal cyber-dystopian comic set in the towering mega-city of the Sky Empire, where control is absolute and mercy is extinct. Armed drones patrol the skies, surveillance tightens like a noose, and rebellion festers in the neon-lit shadows of forgotten industrial ruins. At the heart of it all is Drake, a lost soul from District 3, battling amnesia—until his past comes knocking, and the Empire starts to crack. While the brutal Sky Empire keeps its concrete districts under brutal force, a rebellion is rising in the neon-lit underground beneath the city. Drake slowly recovers the memories of his forgotten past and finds himself caught between both sides—a shadow society and the great Empire—as he uncovers a truth that could bring the system to its knees.

Spanning four volumes and more than 450 pages, Rust City is a descent into the darkest corners of the human mind. Through morally grey characters, it explores oppression, manipulation, and rebellion in a world where truth is manufactured and freedom comes at a price. It invites readers to think beyond the page—and to confront a single question: What would you sacrifice to be free?

The art for Rust City is unique and beautiful. The different locations have distinct visual styles, with colour palettes that set the mood for the specific environments, including some great background detail. Rust City is set in a richly drawn dystopian world, where a brutal, totalitarian regime tightly controls the populace. As all great stories must, Rust City has a strikingly designed villain, and a sympathetic hero that’s easy to root for, along with a host of other compelling characters.
