Heck Yes! Legendary’s ‘Pacific Rim: Tales From The Drift’ Debuts Tomorrow!

Briefly: I’ve been eagerly awaiting this one since it was first announced back in March, and my excitement for the project skyrocketed when I had an opportunity to chat with the book’s writer, Joshua Fialkov back at this year’s Emerald City Comic-Con. Based on his enthusiam for the franchise, I’m pretty sure that we’re in for a real treat with the Pacific Rim: Tales From The Drift comic book.

Pacific Rim: Tales From The Drift is set to be a four-issue monthly series, (though I sure hope that it sells enough to warrant more). Presented by Pacific Rim director Guillermo Del Toro, and with a story by Pacific Rim creator Travis Beacham (who we had on Geekscape way back when), Tales From The Drift is written by (the afformentioned) Fialkov (The Bunker, I, Vampire, Elk’s Run) and features artwork by Marcos Marz (Batman Confidential, Blackest Night: JSA).

We may not know exactly what’s happening with the Pacific Rim film sequel (but we sure hope that it’s still in the works)… or the animated series, actually, so I suppose that this will have to tide us over for the time being.

The first issue of Pacific Rim: Tales From The Drift hits comic book stores tomorrow, so be sure to head out and pick up a copy, and let us know what you think!
