Stand Against Tyranny with Yojimbot Volume 2: Nights of Rust

Dark Horse Books continues the first print English presentation of Yojimbot with Yojimbot Volume 2: Nights of Rust by writer and artist Sylvain Repos with colorist Noiry. The post-apocalyptic dystopian story, translated and localized by Matt Maden, takes readers to a world where robots reign supreme. On a Japanese theme park deserted island, a group of robots who live by the code of the samurai— The Yojimbots—choose to stand against tyranny and help a human boy in danger.

Previously in Yojimbot, aided by a mysterious robot, Hiro and the Yojimbots miraculously escaped the vicious attacks by the brutal Topu and his drones. For the last several months Hiro has been hiding out, working tirelessly to charge and repair his friends. But Hiro can’t hide forever. He must venture out once again to find a way off of the island—and this time, he has a plan. But unfortunately for Hiro and his companions, Topu has plans of his own.

Yojimbot Volume 2: Night of Rust will be presented in paperback and includes 168 pages of robot samurai action!

Exclusive: Yojimbot Volume 1: Metal Silence by Sylvain Repos and Noiry is being released in English for the first time

Available in English for the first time, Dark Horse Books presents Yojimbot Volume 1: Metal Silence by writer and artist Sylvain Repos, with colorist Noiry. The post-apocalyptic dystopian story, translated and localized by Matt Maden, features a world where robots reign supreme, and one samurai-reenacting robot—a Yojimbot—makes the choice to help a human boy in danger.

While attempting to flee a robot-inhabited island, Hideo and his son Hiro are attacked by a troop of armored humans. When Hideo sacrifices himself to save his son, a lone robot-samurai, called a Yojimbot, stands between Hiro and his death. Throughout their journey to escape the island, the robot-and-child duo are joined by other Yojimbots willing to protect Hiro against the hazards of the ruined island to find the mysterious “rights holder” who may hold the key to Hiro’s safety. But more dangerous foes lie between Hiro and his freedom…
