Pacific Rim: Tales from Year Zero

Set years before the first film, Pacific Rim: Tales from Year Zero (Legendary, 2013) expands the universe of the Jaeger program through a single, essential prequel issue. Written by co-creator Travis Beacham with art by Sean Chen, it explores the early days of the war against the Kaiju and the desperate creation of the first Jaegers. This comic grounds the blockbuster franchise in a more intimate, human story, revealing the sacrifices and innovations that made the global defense effort possible.
