Pacific Rim: Tales from Year Zero

One of the biggest films of the summer (and I mean big!) is Guillermo del Toro’s Pacific Rim. With a great cast (Charlie Hunnam, Idris Elba, Ron Perlman, Charlie Day and Rinko Kikuchi) and Guillermo at the helm, it should be a terrific summer movie! Guillermo is an expert at monsters, creating an immersive world and developing characters you care about so this movie about “giant fucking monsters and giant fucking robots” (to quote the man himself) should be a blast!

To get ready for the film, Legendary Comics has just released a prequel graphic novel to introduce the characters and whet the appetitive for the film.

Written by Travis Beacham (who also wrote the screenplay for the movie), the short stories include “K-Day” which tells the tale of the day the Kaiju (monsters) first appeared. “Turn of the Tide” recounts how the giant robots (well, mechs) were created and “The Bond’ shares stories of life as one of the pilots of the giant machines.
