“Mech Cadets, picking up right where Mech Cadet Yu left off, is a ton of fun.”—ComicBook.com
“Such a welcome return of the series.”—Graphic Policy
BOOM! Studios revealed today a first look at MECH CADETS #3, the next issue of a brand new chapter in the hit mecha series by co-creators Greg Pak (Ronin Island) and Takeshi Miyazawa (Ms. Marvel), with colors by Ian Herring (Deadpool), and letters by Simon Bowland (Mech Cadet Yu). Available October 2023.
The cadets and robos are stuck in quarantine–desperate to find any and all information about the alien threat–and eager to get back into the fight while economic tensions on Earth rise. Meanwhile, Frank urges Olivia to breach protocol and rescue his cousin Franklin; will she cave to the pressure of someone she has more in common with than expected, or stick to playing by the rules?
MECH CADETS #3 features a main cover by series artist Takeshi Miyazawa and Ian Herring, and variant covers by acclaimed artists Sonny Liew and Miguel Mercado.
