Every year, giant sentient robots from outer space come to Earth and bond forever with a brand new crop of cadets at Sky Corps Academy to help keep the planet safe. But this year, instead of making a connection with a cadet, one of the mechs bonds with Stanford, a young kid working with his Mom as a janitor at Sky Corps. Stanford has the opportunity of a lifetime but he’ll first have to earn the trust of his classmates if he’s to defend the planet from the monstrous Sharg.
From bestselling author Greg Pak (The Hulk, Superman) and fan favorite artist Takeshi Miyazawa (Runaways, Ms. Marvel), Mech Cadet Yu is a heartfelt underdog story set in a bright and bold sci fi world, uncovering the true makings of heroism and friendship in the face of overwhelming odds. This collection includes an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at the making of Mech Cadet Yu, including the comic short story that inspired the series.
Greg Pak is a Korean American filmmaker and comic book writer best known for his award-winning feature film Robot Stories, his blockbuster comic book series like Planet Hulk and World War Hulk, and his record-breaking Kickstarter publishing projects with Jonathan Coulton, Code Monkey Save World and The Princess Who Saved Herself.
Pak’s recent comics projects include Ronin Island, a creator-owned series from BOOM! Studios, Kingsway West, a creator-owned series from Dark Horse; The Totally Awesome Hulk and Weapon X for Marvel; and John Wick for Dynamite. Other projects include Action Comics and Batman/Superman for DC; Battlestar Galactica for Dynamite; Dead Man’s Run for Aspen and Gale Anne Hurd’s Valhalla; and Magneto Testament, Storm, Incredible Hercules (co-written with Fred Van Lente), and many others for Marvel. With artist Takeshi Miyazawa, Pak co-created the character of Amadeus Cho, who won a 2005 Marvel.com fan favorite poll, co-starred for four years in Incredible Hercules, and is now the star of Totally Awesome Hulk. Pak’s run on Marvel’s Incredible Hulk was named the Best Ongoing Series of 2007 by Wizard Magazine and Pak’s Magneto Testament was named the Best Miniseries of 2008 by IGN.
