Legendary has announced that it is set to prepare us for our return to the world of Jaegers and Kaiju with Pacific Rim Aftermath, the official comic book prequel to March’s hotly-anticipated movie sequel Pacific Rim Uprising, which comes from the creative team of Cavan Scott and Rich Elson.
Santa Monica, 2034. In a city that was once the jewel of the West Coast, a new world has emerged: one rising up from the ashes of giant robots and giant monsters. In this futuristic aftermath, we will meet a new generation of survivors, including Jake Pentecost, son of Stacker Pentecost, who is searching for answers behind the death of his Legendary father; Griffin, a Jaeger pilot who has gone from defending the world to piloting an illegal Jaeger enforcer for a mob boss; and the Mech Czar, a techno-criminal overlord who rules the underworld with a steel fist. Set against a neo-noir backdrop of street gangs, Kaiju worshipers, and Jaeger Scrapyards, a mysterious but familiar figure arrives with a dangerous agenda…
The 6-part series is a gritty action adventure that explores a new criminal underworld born in an age of monsters and mechs, and an unmissable story for all PACIFIC RIM fans.
Pacific Rim Aftermath #1 goes on sale on January 17th 2018.
