Humanity faces its ultimate threat as the Precursors unleash a new wave of devastating Kaiju assaults on Earth in the new graphic novel PACIFIC RIM: FINAL BREACH (Legendary Publishing; May 5th).
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. We hope you’ll join us in announcing this thrilling graphic novel. The book is available for preorder now wherever books are sold, including Barnes & Noble, Amazon, and Bookshop.
Today we face the monsters at our door….
