Mech Cadet Yu #3

Cadet Yu stands front and center on this striking BOOM! Studios cover, red cap tilted with quiet determination while three fellow cadets fan out behind him — all four figures dwarfed by a sky filled with meteors and a massive, looming alien creature erupting from the rocky terrain above them. Takeshi Miyazawa's linework gives the young cast a real sense of weight and personality, and Tríona Farrell's warm, hazy palette makes the encroaching chaos feel both epic and oddly beautiful. Issue #3 of Greg Pak's sci-fi coming-of-age series promises the stakes are only getting bigger for these cadets-in-training.
