Netflix’s animated adaptation of Greg Pak and Takeshi Miyazawa‘s Mech Cadet Yu series, Mech Cadets, is ready to reach on the streaming platform on August tenth. What higher time to carry again the series that impressed it? BOOM! Studios has introduced Mech Cadets, a brand new series from author Pak, artist Miyazawa, colorist Ian Herring, and letterer Simon Bowland, will debut on August ninth, a day earlier than the animated series premieres. The new comedian picks up a yr after the occasions of the unique series.
Here’s how BOOM! describes Mech Cadets:
Stanford Yu, Olivia Park, Maya Sanchez, and Frank Olivetti are again in motion a yr after saving the world from the menace of a Sharg invasion. But how will the Sky Corps Central Command and the cadets themselves deal with the proven fact that Mech Cadet Olivia Park, the teenaged pilot of the Suprarobo Hero Force 2, has develop into the strongest individual on the planet? Meanwhile, the menace of the Sharg takes on an entire new dimension with a surprising revelation that threatens all the pieces our heroes learn about their robos and themselves!
After debuting as a four-issue miniseries and being promoted to an ongoing, the unique Mech Cadet Yu series ran for twelve points in 2017 and 2018. The animated adaptation of the series was introduced in 2021, and BOOM! launched a collected version of all twelve points, below the new, TV-friendly title of Mech Cadets, earlier this month.
In a press release asserting the new e-book, Pak, Miyazawa, and editor Shantel LaRocque all expressed their enthusiasm at returning to the world of the series:
“The original Mech Cadet Yu series is one of my favorite of all the things I’ve ever written, so I’m beyond thrilled to be working with Tak on the next chapter in the Mech Cadets saga,” mentioned Pak. “Tak’s bringing all his magic to every page and every panel, with that special combination of incredible genre thrills, amazing humor, and fantastic emotional subtlety. And all of our characters are a bit older and the world has gotten a bit more complex, with some shocking twists and challenges. I’m biased, of course, but it feels vital and real and just as fun as ever, and I can’t wait for y’all to see it!”
“I’m thrilled to be able to work with Greg again on the next chapter of the Mech Cadet Yu series. I’ve missed these characters and can’t wait to dive back into the world and experience the ups and downs that Greg is so wonderful at creating,” mentioned Miyazawa. “The first series was a big test for my skills as an artist and I’m eager to face new artistic challenges and visualize the world once again.”
“It’s an exciting time for Mech Cadets, and while many new fans will be introduced to the amazing and heart-filled world of the Mech Cadets through the animated show this Summer, we wanted to bring Greg and Takeshi’s newest chapter into the world for fans new and old!” mentioned editor Shantel LaRocque.
