Geekscape Comics: Preview ‘Pacific Rim: Tales From Year Zero’

Pacific Rim may not hit theatres until July 12th, but you’ll be able to get your first taste of the Kaiju this June!

The graphic novel, announced at last year’s New York Comic Con, is just a few weeks away from hitting store shelves. Legendary Comics today revealed two preview pages for the book, and as expected, things are looking damn fine.

Pacific Rim: Tales From Year Zero is illustrated by Pericles Junior, Sean Chen, and Yvel Guichet, and was written by the Pacific Rim screenwriter himself, Travis Beacham. Check out the preview pages below (as well as the cover art by Alex Ross), and let us know what you think!

Hitting stores June 5, PACIFIC RIM: TALES FROM YEAR ZERO serves as a prequel to the highly-anticipated motion picture — Warner Bros. and Legendary Pictures’ Pacific Rim.  Chronicling the very first time Earth is menaced by incredible monsters known as Kaiju, these inhuman beasts rise from the ocean depths and threaten to extinguish all mankind! Witness the race to develop massive robot fighting machines called Jaegers, each one controlled simultaneously by two pilots whose minds are locked in a neural bridge. This action-packed book features many of the key characters from the film as we follow them in their early careers. Written by Pacific Rim screenwriter himself, Travis Beacham, and with del Toro’s hands-on supervision, this volume is beautifully illustrated by Sean Chen, Yvel Guichet, and Pericles Junior; inks by Steve Bird and Mark McKenna.
