Descender

Descender, by Jeff Lemire and Dustin Nguyen, has the most beautiful watercolour artwork which is so fitting to the story. Some time ago there was an attack from space by giant robots, which made humanity worried about the robots in their midst. Many were destroyed but on a distant mining colony, a companion robot boy survives an accident which kills his family. Back to the present future day, the robot boy, Tim 21, wakes up to find he’s alone. Well he still has a cute robot dog and a killer driller robot to keep him company!

I feel like I need to read more of this. There’s a robot designed to be like a child who is naïve and innocent, yet scientists think they’ve found a link between him and the robots who attacked. Another one to add to the list of second volumes.
