‘Pacific Rim’ Continues In New Official Graphic Novel Series

Now here’s a comic book project you’ll be drift-compatible with: Pacific Rim and Pacific Rim Uprising are continuing in a new series of graphic novels.

Written by Joshua Fialkov with art by E.J. Su, the new OGN Pacific Rim: Final Breach will feature the likenesses of Charlie Hunnam (Raleigh), John Boyega (Jake Pentecost), and Charlie Day (Newt), and continue the story from the first two movies in the series.

“When it was declared at the end of the last Pacific Rim movie that we were going to take the war to the invaders, that was a set-up we couldn’t resist bringing to the world of graphic novels. We are delighted to pick up on the canonical threads and tell a new exciting story for fans of the franchise in this 3-book series,” said Robert Napton, SVP, Comics & Publishing at Legendary Entertainment, via a press release provided to Comic Book Club.

Rather than publish the traditional way (you know, to bookstores), Pacific Rim: Final Breach is heading straight to Kickstarter for a campaign that launches on Wednesday, July 31. And in case you doubted the bonafides, the link to the project touts it as Pacific Rim 3.

Check out the official synopsis for Final Breach below, as well as the cover for the book. The Kickstarter campaign begins on July 31, 2024.

Humanity faces its ultimate threat as the Precursors unleash a new wave of devastating Kaiju assaults on Earth in Pacific Rim: Final Breach! After years of failed attempts to enter the Anteverse, the trans-dimensional realm from which all Kaiju emerge, Jake Pentecost and Hermann Gottlieb conceive a daring last-ditch plan whose success hinges on finding legendary Jaeger pilot Raleigh Becket—the only human being to ever survive behind enemy lines. Living in exile off the grid, Raleigh must choose assured annihilation or confront his past and team up with a new generation to pilot the brand-new Gipsy Destroyer, the last Jaeger standing. Tensions escalate and old wounds reopen as the PPDC finally crosses the breach to confront what lies on the other side… It’s time for humanity to meet its true enemy and cancel the apocalypse once and for all.
